HC4HC Fiesta with Berthold City, Dry Socket, Misled and Leave Me Out at Occii Amsterdam

BERTHOLD CITY (hardcore, Los Angeles, USA – WAR Records) Los Angeles, CA, hardcore band Berthold City visit Amsterdam for the first time ever! Formed by seasoned veterans of the hardcore community (members or ex-members of bands like Strife, Internal Affairs, World Be Free, Allegiance and more), Berthold City upholds the spirit of traditional hardcore while carving their own path with driving riffs, explosive rhythms, and lyrics rooted in conviction. With their latest 7", No Brotherhood, Berthold City condense their vision into four songs of raw power, bridging the genre’s timeless foundation with a contemporary urgency that speaks to the present moment. DRY SOCKET (hardcore, Portland, USA – To Live A Lie / Get Better Records) One of the most incendiary forces in modern hardcore comes to A’dam for the first time ever, as well. Dry Socket is a politically charged hardcore band from Portland, Oregon. With high-intensity performances and emotional songwriting, they blend classic hardcore aggression with deeply personal narratives. Their sound channels the urgency of acts like Punch, Paint it Black and Negative Approach, while carving out a distinctly modern and inclusive space within the genre. Since forming Dry Socket has toured across the US, Europe and Mexico, sharing stages with bands such as Gorilla Biscuits, The Hope Conspiracy and Torso. Known for their visceral live shows, they create a space to be unapologetically angry. MISLED (hardcore, Belgium) Groovy late 80s New York hardcore from Belgium! Expect mosh, breakdowns and a Dynamo cover! LEAVE ME OUT (hardcore, Netherlands – first show ever!) New hardcore/punk band from Limburg! Inspired by bands like Sheer Terror, The Rival Mob and early Blood For Blood, L.M.O. set out to make aggressive, angry hardcore that hasn’t forgotten its punk roots. First show ever, don’t sleep on this!
