oversharing here, but my dog's health was very critical over the past 48 hours. I was a wreck. All through this experience, I lost track of what day it was and what was real. Thankfully, she's getting back to 100, and when I realized that today was new Hardlore ep day, I was relieved to have the comfort that this show always brings. All the best
God I have a 1 year old Dalmatian and I am going to be a disaster if anything happens to her. I’m sorry you had to go through that, it’s cool to share a comfort in this show though
been stuck in northern michigan for 3 years and not been able to make it to tied down the past two years. glad that moving back down state made it viable to make it to tied down after a few years of running into curtis and talking about all the crazy shit they’ve had lined up. michigan hardcore is going strong. sidenote: balmora absolutely crushed it at edgemen on tuesday, they are also an honorary michigan band now.
I took the train out from chicago for have heart. Zero regrets best set I've ever seen. Will be back next year especially w all the recent riotfest news
first ever hardcore show i’ve been too, sincerely one the the greatest concerts i’ve been and has taken me from a casual hardcore fan to an all out fanatic
I was tired and planned on leaving after catching a few Terror songs. I ended up staying the whole set because that was the best I have ever seen them.
Brought my wife to her first hc show and she thought it was probably one of the safest shows he’s ever been to. She noticed that no one is drunk and high (probably because a lot of people there are straight edge), people are nice and polite, and they pick people up despite crowd killers. She wasnt on the pit of course but she had fun watching it all unfold from the balcony while she films me do a stage dive lol
james from harms way almost killed me at the end of never surrender virtue by 100 demons in like 2014. It was dope seeing him play right after too lol.
I have to come down and cross the border to get to Detroit and it just couldn't work this year, but I'll be damned if I miss Tied Down 2025. If you could have GB back and maybe keep Have Heart, I would cry.
The Midwest underground fest is back between Zegema Beach Records fest and Tied Down fest. Now there’s Dark Days Bright Nights in Richmond VA which just opens up the fest market all across smaller cities in the US.
Flew in from Wyoming (the state, not the city in Michigan), the biggest hardcore desert in the lower 48. The closest hardcore shows are a 5 hour drive to SLC or Boise. Definitely coming back for Tied Down next year.
Bo knocking out the monitors was so funny lol. Also the comment about the ATT tower is so true. For some reason the whole building is an absolute dead zone.
The Midwest really do be having a decent amount of hardcore fests, like LDB, The Rumble, and this one. There is probably more but the Midwest is popping off.
Yo, Tied Down weekend I got to mosh for my fav bands, Have Heart - who I haven’t moshed for since 2008, and Three Knee Deep - who I’ve been waiting to mosh for for like, 4 years loll
I had the privilege of getting kicked in the thigh and head when End It played this week. They played 2nd, and I hurt too bad to stay for Drain, but I got what I went for 😅🤣
Little crasers uses the same ingrediants for everything. Crazy bread is their pizza dough with no toppings and garlic fat. Deep dish pizzas just have a different pan. All the pans get stored on the floor
I remember reading Hardcore zines in 90's talking about progressive issues that made me think and gain perspective on this world. I felt like I grew. Now thank God we have the internet and with this modern age of hardcore we can talk about the singers charisma in some Boston band. WTF is this? American Hardcore Idols? How the mighty have fallen. Go do some slam dancing in your mothers lounge you suburban nerds.
P.S: The tone of guitar, double bass and lower growls have certainly been perfected but alas all noise signifying absolutely nothing. Well just a bit of anger at Daddy and their bad wifi connection.
