21 and up. Fuck anyone who plays this show. Deliberately age restricted shows have nothing to do with hardcore. Just fucking play at the bar down the street. For many of these bands, I'm sure that's the next stop, if it hasn't happened already.
"haha it appears Converse is competing against Vans now for free Hardcore shows"
Don't forget Scion and Levis. The youth crew market accounts for 35% of all automobile, shoe, and pants sales. They just can't afford NOT to sponsor these shows.
Welcome to DOUBLE CROSS - an online fanzine dedicated to the hardcore we love... past, present, and future. The goal is classic fanzine vibe and content, with stories, interviews, photos and more - updated every day through the week. While this might be a "blog," we want it to go beyond what that term typically represents.
And while we are undoubtedly straight edge and will put the best straight edge bands at the heart of this site, in no way does that mean we won't be featuring all of of our other favorite hardcore bands here as well.
Check out the below links for more info on us, as well as what we have been putting up here since beginning construction in March '08. Get in touch if you wanna contribute or just say what's up. X X X Tim McMahon / Gordo
THANX: We would like to give thanks and credit to Ken Salerno, Tim Singer / Boiling Point, Dave Sine and all the other photographers that have graced the pages of Double Cross. We could not do this with out you, so thank you very much for your contributions.
Big thanks also to some of our regular contributors, people like Joe Nelson, Billy Rubin, Agent A, Tony Rettman, Jordan Cooper, Larry Ransom, etc. All have been huge assets to Double Cross and we greatly appreciate all your help, effort and time.
Also, we'd like to give thanks to Ed McKirdy over at Livewire Records for lending his help and support to this project.

ReplyDeleteAlso, Nike owns Converse, which makes this even better. If they really did their market research, they would book a bunch of shoe collector bands.

this shit cracks me up. you don't own hardcore, bands are free to do what the fuck they want.
ReplyDeleteTHE REAL QUESTION: anyone know how many people this place holds? i dont want to get down there and find out i cant get in.
ReplyDeleteps - i don't care if the canadian seal hunting association sponsored the show. its free and i like youth of today and mouthpiece.

ReplyDeleteAnd people are free to tell them their decisions suck and are alienating. No one is trying to shut down the show.
