Pyrex and Traumatizer are hitting the road together, and they’re bringing a brand-new split single with them! Last time around, it was already a blast with Robber, so the New York–Haarlem connection is entering its second year. Pyrex are known for their anxious, claustrophobic vocals, super-tight drums and bass, and fast-as-hell songs mixed with disorienting psychedelic passages. Definitely one for fans of Rudimentary Peni and Poison Ruin.

Traumatizer have been on our radar for a while now, and for good reason. The Haarlem troublemakers have had an especially productive year, playing K-Town, Winsummerfest, Another Weekend In The Grey City, DIY Fest, and that’s not even counting all the club shows. They’re also well on their way to becoming the favourite band of basement venue bookers all over the world — Groningen included. This is gonna be a good one! | Robert
