WALL OF SOUND - SEPTEMBER


News from the underground, show listings too!


This month column features Hastings Street hardcore punk. We love Hastings Street for its hardcore/metal/punk proximity between the venues.

Fri Sept 27: The Tubuloids, Piggy, Car 87, Blue & White Van
Fri Oct 25: S.N.F.U. THE LONG AWAITED NEW ALBUM RELEASE!!!

Who doesn’t love The Astoria @ 769 East Hastings? Here are some gigs to keep you maniacs smashed and thrashing:

Fri  Oct 11: Anion (record release party), Last Plague, Breathe Knives, Weirding & Disworship.

After 3 years Last Plague are back doing shows. Unfortunately, it came about because of the death of their guitarist, Tim. They reformed for his wake (Timfest) at Pub 340 and decided to do more shows. They got their original guitarist back to fill the void of Tim's absence. Catch this band at the Astoria on Sept 28 and Oct 11. Welcome back.

If it’s metal, hardcore or punk or close to it, there’s a good chance that your gig(s) may get listed here in the Wall Of Sound but we prefer gossip, new release news, band fights & breakups.  Send the goods to skinnywallofsound@gmail.com. Believe me, it’s worth it. It’s in print.
