Now this show I remember well. This ushered in the "modern" era of Non-Compliant shows. It has been around nine months since we last organized a show and to put it lightly, we are all psyched for several reasons.
First is, we had a terrible time looking for venues and when Maru Bar presented itself, we were all relieved. Second is that this is the release show of the four-way split featuring Nuclear Punishment, Isvarah, Prayer of Endurance and the already defunct at that time Forgiveness Denied. Third is that there has not been a show for a long time and so everybody was pumped up for the show.
The line-up itself represents the best of what the metro has to offer alongside the best of the surrounding areas such as Survival of the Fittest, Chokecocoi (who were at the top of their game back then, shit got wild when they played Karamihan ng Tao ay Pu by BFK), Omerta and Magnum from Bulacan, Towards the End (San Pablo) among others.
And of course the 'stars of the night' did not disappoint. From Cavite to Baguio, these guys played hard as hell and did not let up. The New Names release party was indeed a success.
Maru was moving top to bottom and people just doesn't seem to get tired whoever is playing. This show was clearly a good gathering of hardcore bands from all over and it was awesome to see friends you haven't seen for a long time to be at this show.
There was also a release party shirt available at the show. I don't have one though. It should grace these pages one of these days.
BTW, do you guys know where did the title of his 4-way split came from?
Currently listening to: Weekend Nachos 'Punish and Destroy', Cut Sick 'End it All'
