Hardcore 2016 Focus: Reactions

Answered by: Lachy Pitcher

Which band/album got you into hardcore and why? Down To Nothing. Probably The Most. I saw their Sound & Fury 2010 footage and instantly knew I wanted to sing in a band. Music with a message is what attracted me.

Where is the hardcore scene headed? Hard to say, I think it's on the up. There's a new generation of bands and hopefully kids to follow and with the loss of Soundwave more local bands are getting supports on tours, so that's good too.

Most the most hardcore thing you've ever seen at a show? Don't exactly know how to answer this but first thing that comes to mind is the pit when Twitching Tongues played a Marauder cover at BTI. A lot of hardcore kids doing their thing there.

Which act on the Hardcore 2016 line-up will blow our minds and why? I would say Miles Away will be great, probably some people that will be there that may not have heard them and the crowd response they get is usually cool to see.

When is your set at Hardcore 2016? I haven't seen any set times but Reactions play on the Saturday which starts at 5pm, so I would guess somewhere between 7 - 7.30pm, but people should come at 5pm and stay till the end!
