The first band Wolfpack took to the stage, a newly formed hardcore act from South Wales adding to the growing number of Hardcore bands forming in the South Wales region, they played a short fifteen minute set of their own brand of dark, atmospheric Hardcore which appealed to the small crowd admiring the talent and interesting sound that the band produced throughout their set. Wolfpack are a band to look out for in the forthcoming months, and they will continue to showcase their talent in various venues across South Wales.
Next on stage were Foxxes, another of South Wales up-and-coming Hardcore acts. Similarly to Wolfpack, Foxxes produced an atmospheric and mesmerizing set. Throughout the set each member of the band showed passion and belief in their music which was key to the success of this live performance. Throughout, they showed excellent stage presence and the vocalist remained confident and delivered an impressive vocal performance which set the benchmark for the rest of the band to follow. They maintained consistency throughout the performance with well structured instrumentation, it was a mighty impressive first glimpse of a very talented band.
Next up were Continents, another of Wales’s hardcore acts, Continents over recent months have built up a strong following across South Wales thanks to their non stop touring across Wales and the release of their debut single ‘Trials’.

After a positive showcase from Wales’s up-and-coming bands, it was time for Run For Cover Records’ Daylight to take to stage. Daylight played a selective mix of songs from all three of their studio releases including their most recent single ‘Damp’, they showed great stage presence and excellent live potential but struggled to appeal to the small audience with their unique sound.
