JUDGE (21:30)

Something special happened in New York in the late 80s. Just when the straight edge band Youth Of Today took a break and their drummer Mike Ferraro was pissed, something new was born. Mike was angry at the world and at all the criticism that the band endured, despite its thoroughly positive message. It was undeserved and unfair in his eyes and his wish for a harder and more provocative band emerged. He was angry at the glorification of alcohol and drugs, and he was angry at himself.

Then was born the merciless straightedge hardcore band Judge, who stirred the pot more than any other, for a few magical years when the 80 – met the 90s. The first 7 was just Mike “Judge” Ferraro and former Youth Of Today colleague, and hardcore celebrity, John “Porcell” Porcelly. Mike handled the drums and vocals and Porcell played bass and guitar. During the filming of the legendary full length album Bringin’ It Down, they added Sammy Siegler on drums and Matt Pincus on bass.

All genres start somewhere and they all have a couple of bands that matter more than others. And when it comes to hardcore music, it’s a very small, intimate hall of fame. Thsee bands have been the building blocks of the hardcore scene developed, from the ’80s to today. Judge is one of the most important. And now they’re back . After the sold-out and highly acclaimed American gigs in May 2013, we know what we’ve waited for.

ANCHOR (20:30)

Since ANCHOR started in 2007, they have established themselves as Sweden’s hardest working and most frequently touring bands. During its’ active years, the band has had time with over 400 shows in almost 40 countries on five continents, and is today one of Europe’s biggest names. 2014 ANCHOR releases his third album, Distance & Devotion, and with this comes the tour schedule again fully booked. Live ANCHOR is an energy out of the ordinary – take the chance to witness it!
