In a day and age where hardcore has been co-opted, remixed, and revised for mass consumer consumption, it's refreshing for us true fans to witness the real deal. Sheer Terror is the real deal. Since the mid-eighties, the NYC-based band has been changing the game with their unique blend of hardcore, punk and hardcore-influenced metal, fronted by the enigmatic Paul Bearer. After breaking up in 1998, the band reunited in 2004 briefly then got back together in 2010. Tonight, Buffalonians are privileged to witness the madness that has made Sheer Terror a staple of the scene for nearly three decades as they storm Mohawk Place for what is sure to be one of the hardcore contenders of the year (6pm, $15). The same people who brought Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags and Skarhead are bringing this show (Props to Black and Blue Productions for all the memories in recent years!) Joining the bill is Wisdom in Chains, my personal favorite hardcore band of the last decade, who have released some of the most inspiring hardcore releases in recent memory, with Everything You Know and the recently released Missing Links. Also playing is Troy, NY's Brick by Brick, and Buffalo's own Old Ghosts and One Way Terror. Sure to be a heavy hitter, lace up those boots, grab a beer and prepare. It's dance hard or die on a Saturday night.
