Smash the Fash Bash

A hardcore punk bill presented by Miasma Collective at Blondies in Lower Clapton, headlined by Deviated Instinct and supported by three bands from Ipswich, London and Norwich.

Miasma Collective presents its final show of the year, with Deviated Instinct topping the bill shortly after releasing their new record, Scavenger Gospel. Formed in 1984, the band was an early pioneer of the British punk and metal scene. Alongside Antisect and The Amebix, Deviated Instinct influenced a great many groups and helped shape what is now called crust.

The support acts are Mincer, grind-leaning hardcore punk from Ipswich; Louse, an apocalyptic, antifascist D-beat hardcore punk band from London; and Dismara, a four-piece from Norwich playing D-beat-driven neo-crust, emo-crust and melodic crust punk. Taken together, the bill moves across three cities'worth of punk styles, all within the hardcore and crust tradition.

The night takes place at Blondies, a concert venue at 205a Lower Clapton Road in London, E5 8EG, with a taproom on site. The bill suits listeners who follow hardcore, crust and D-beat punk, since every act on it plays in those styles.
