Another jam packed two weeks, of shows, sorting out stuff like train passes and other certain things, especially as the idea of how expensive everything really is over here. I've spent so much on travel as it's triple the amount I was paying in Aus for a quarter of the distance. Just crazy. Luckily this train pass will cut 1/3 of the price. Also finally getting use to the idea that pretty much everything seems cheap, but is actually double the price as compared to the Aus dollar.
Anyway also been going to so many more amazing shows,
Was lucky enough to see Bane, Down To Nothing, Lewd Acts & Gold Kids 2 times which was sick;

-Gold Kids





-Lewd Acts






- Down To Nothing







- Bane






These shows were amazing, then luckily a few days later saw Polar Bear Club and Wilhelm Scream;





- A Wilhelm Scream



- "Tour", "Debt"


Alot of people in the hardcore punk scenes are Straightedge and Vegan, so many of my friends brought me along to the annual Vegan Festival which was great. Had some really tasty food, and learnt some interesting stuff;




Then after the vegan fest made it over to a show with local band Abolition, Jailbait, Dirty Money and Americans War Hungry and RZL DZL(who i had to leave early for to catch my train, which i missed anyway and had to catch a hour train pay £25 for a 5 min taxi);

- Abolition


- Jailbait
- Dirty Money


- War Hungry



Tomorrow off to see Death Before Dishonor which I'm keen for, and supporting them is Arkangel from Belgium and the good dudes from Hang the Bastard, who I'm doing promos of for their next Split with Brutality Will Prevail. Awesome bands.

2 Weeks In Summary

I am meant to give back this laptop and in turn the Internet tomorrow. So this may be the last post I can do until we get our Internet sorted. Which is taking longer than is meant to. Anyway here is a Summary of the last two weeks:

Been checking out a lot of museums (which are all free here) and sites:

* The Rosetta Stone

* The Thames

* Japanese Art

*Totema

* Section of the Berlin Wall

And so many international bands; like Hoods:



And Bringin' It Down, which are a Judge cover band with members of Judge and Project X;





And BOLD, Such a good band live;



* Set Your Goals.
It was First time I'd been to this venue and I didn't realise they were so strict on photographers. So i was able to sneak my camera in. But it meant i had to keep a low profile (No Flash). And as my camera is shit I got some very speckley pix. Which I think work well with some of these images.




* Trash Talk @ the Fighting Cock Pub





As well as seeing some really cool new local bands like:

Dirty Money


Hang The Bastards, Really good stuff, check them out




Battle Of Wolf


Cold Snap:

Vice City, Good Dudes

Also was lucky enough to check Bane And Down To Nothing two Days In A row. With Gold Kids, An amazing Italian Hardcore Band, And Lewd Acts, A crazy American band. Pix will be up soon.
