LISKFEST


Our buddy, Chris Lisk, put together the self-named "Liskfest," which kicks off October 11th in Irvine. He's been talking about this for a few years now, and it is great to see it come to fruition. The Fest features some of the biggest names in Hardcore, Punk, Metal, and more! Some personal standouts include: GB, Rival Schools, and Living Sacrifice.
I like that they mixed the lineup to include something for everyone. It reminds me a lot of the first Warped Tour where a you had bands like Sick of It All, and Quicksand playing with No Doubt and Social Distortion. In the late eighties a lot of hardcore shows had mixed bills as well, and it wasn't uncommon to see a band like Insted or Uniform Choice playing with Bad Religion. The first time I saw GB they had Down By Law open for them too...
We were asked to play this show, but unfortunately we couldn't do it. Anyway, I know where I will be on October 11th! Good work Chris!
