Taiwanese hardcore band Defeat the Giant recently celebrated their annual event titled Dirti in their hometown of Taichung. The lineup was stacked with Taiwanese hardcore bands from all over the island including Hateful Rezpect, the return of Deadpan and a brand new hardcore band Supervision. Turnout, as you can see from the video, was INSANE. Tons of people coming out to support a less popular form of music (this is the case for Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong – what’s up with these places not feeling hardcore? 🙁 and by doing so, celebrating those bands and people who stay committed against all odds.
The show went off without a hitch until headliners, Defeat the Giant, took the stage. Popo showed up to stomp all over the party shutting shit down 5 songs into DTG’s set. Bummer.
That killer photo above speaks volumes.
