World’s Appreciated Kitsch proudly presents:
CONTENTION (straight edge hardcore/metal, USA)
Contention is a straight edge hardcore band hailing from Tampa, Florida, formed in 2019. Their music draws significant influence from the H8000 scene, reminiscent of bands like Arkangel and Congress. They debuted with a three-song promo in 2019, quickly establishing themselves within the hardcore community. In 2021, they released the EP "Laying Waste to the Kingdom of Oblivion," further solidifying their aggressive sound. Their debut full-length album, “Artillery From Heaven”, released in May 2024, showcased their evolution and dedication to the genre, and was definitely one of the best hardcore/metal releases last year.
Contention's lyrics often explore themes of urban alienation and apocalyptic scenarios, reflecting their unyielding straight edge ethos.
They kick off their EU/UK tour with an exclusive Dutch show taking place in Amsterdam!

CURSELIFTER (metallic hardcore, NL)
Curselifter is a metallic hardcore band from the Netherlands that doesn’t shy away from societal critique, discussing themes such as sexism, police violence, and inequality of all forms. After a first year with almost 20 shows throughout the Netherlands and a new LP, they’ve quickly established themselves as a band to keep an eye on within the Dutch hardcore scene.
This is their OCCII debut show!

DOGMA (hardcore, NL)
DOGMA is a project that translates a plea for social justice into resilient and hard hitting music. With their first record ‘Face of Violence‘ one can expect metallic hardcore aiming its arrows at systemic and institutionalized violence of all flavors and stenches.
Dogma are back to playing shows after more than one year and we are excited to have them on board!
