Knocked Loose – You Won’t Go hometown release shows

Knocked Loose will be celebrating the release of You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To with the hometown crowd, heading up a two-night showcase at Paristown hall. Edit: Make that two nights at Paristown and one at Portal. The Portal show will have hometown heroes Two Witnesses, xWeaponx, Gates to Hell, and bring in out of towners Torture. It’s gonna be wild on that smaller stage. The big shows at Paristown will switch off each night, with Division of Mind, White Reaper, and Poison The Well filling out Friday night, while Trash Talk and Superheaven will blast you in the face Saturday night.

Sure to sell out (edit: yup, they all did), grab your tickets ASAP from 502Shows.com.

LDB Fest 2024 Set Times

It’s time! LDBBB Fest kicks off with the preshow tonight at Portal. I couldn’t get tickets so I hope someone gets video of the Nine Eyes reunion set and the Walk Alone first show back.

Set times for the rest of the weekend can be found below and on all LDB socials. As with the last few years, the main day’s events will be streaming on Twitch, so if you couldn’t get a ticket or are otherwise engaged (like… going to the Louisville City home opener), you can still check things out.

Site Updates – March 2024

LouisvilleHardcore.com screen shot from 2006
Look at this ugly crap from 2006

Shit, this site is almost 20 years old. I got crowdkilled at the last show I went to by a kid that wasn’t born yet when this thing originally launched. Anyway…. a few updates. If you’ve been to the site before, you’ve probably noticed that the look is a little different than it was for most of the last decade. It’s finally been updated to be mobile friendly and get some newer design elements. No one gives a shit about CSS here but there was quite a bit of overhaul, with more happening incrementally. Not quite continuous integration, but just getting some cleanup and decent PHP linting was good enough for this site for now.
