Infernal Diatribe, Gasoline Dream, Self Love, & Knelt
Mon 8/3
6:30pm doors/7:30pm show
All Ages | $15
Infernal Diatribe is a Maine hardcore band known for dark, brutal, metalcore-driven heaviness and a bleak, furious worldview. Their Surging Violence EP pushed the band into even more punishing territory, earning attention as one of the nastiest newer acts in the Maine hardcore scene.
Gasoline Dream is a Portland, Maine hardcore band self-described as “bummer music,” with releases including Life’s A Dream, Canon Fodder, and It’ll Probably K*ll Us All. Their social presence frames the band as Southern Maine hardcore: raw, grimy, and built for the room.
Self Love is a Dover, New Hampshire DIY grind/powerviolence band featuring Chad Dyer, Ben Cole, David Milliken, and Jeremy. Their releases, including Session One and a 2026 split with Common Decency, channel hardcore, crust, d-beat, and grindcore into short, ugly, politically charged bursts.
Knelt is a Boston neo-crust hardcore band founded by Nik McIntosh and Nicholas Wolf, drawing from dark, heavy, fast, and depressive hardcore influences like Tragedy, His Hero Is Gone, Wolfbrigade, and Cursed. Their sound leans into crust, punk, hardcore, metal, and breakdowns that feel like the room collapsing.
