[HXC] + FRI., JAN. 12
Boston has a penchant for producing mean-ass hardcore music, and Saint Ripper is no exception to the rule. Its aggressive hardcore punk has a bite, but it’s also the kind of music that begs to be enjoyed in a mosh pit full of friends. Joining Saint Ripper is Boston’s dark-punk/post-punk outfit Sisters of Shaddowwe, an eerie trio with tunes that ooze mystical power. The blistering hardcore punk of EEL and punk-tinged no-wave Come Holy Spirit are from two bands perfectly curated to round out the show’s sound. This gig is in the Babyland Garage, also known as the basement of the Bloomcraft Building.
