RYKER’S 2019 have now really thrown all their shackles overboard and merge in a stylish change of flawless 80s Thrash Metal and rough Old School grenades with wonderful melody arcs and the omnipresent NYHC street dog charm to a very own unit, with which the deserved reputation of the ‚flagship of the European hardcore‘ is impressively underpinned.

After Madball and Sick Of It All presented in 2018, RYKER’S impressively show how timeless hardcore 2019 can, should and must sound. Fresh, dynamic, strong!!!!

Arrow Minds is a hardcore punk band from Rostock, Germany. The band was formed in 2016. The same year they released the digital EP “Big Kahuna Jams”. For their debut LP “Alcatraz Affairs”, released in 2018, the band signed with White Russian Records.

Their power- and meaningful songs represent everything a modern hardcore punk band should stand for – fast, positively aggressive tunes leading to catchy hooks; with lyrics that do not try to be empty paroles, but rather raise necessary questions about today’s absurd ideals, ideas, and issues.

The band brings a high-energy live-set wherever they are put on the bill, and have already shared the stage with Wisdom In Chains, Terror, All For Nothing, Evergreen Terrace and many more all around Germany during their first couple of years.

Change is a US/Canadian Straight Edge band from the Pacific Northwest featuring ex and current members of Betrayed, The First Step, Odd Man Out, Angel Du$t, Lower Species and Punitive Damage. Made up of Aram Arslanian, Chris Williams, Jeff Caffey, Mike Jurek and Matt Bertell the band’s brand of urgent hardcore is influenced by Youth of Today, Uniform Choice, INSTED, Sportswear, BOLD, Turning Point, Straight Ahead, Verbal Assault and Embrace. However, the song writing pulls inspiration from across genres keeping the band from painting themselves into a corner musically. Lyrically, their songs focus on growth, both personal and social, and encourage embracing who we are while also working on becoming the best version of ourselves.
