- Not Normal Tapes’ logo
Back in March Gossip Wolf reported on the five-year anniversary festival for local hardcore label Not Normal Tapes, and the celebration finally begins this weekend! The blowout starts tomorrow afternoon and punk groups are flying in from all around the US (Texas, Oklahoma, Rhode Island) to help a mess of local bands honor Not Normal. The lineup is killer, and I’m particularly interested in the Saturday night show: it features demented, acid-fried Indiana hardcore group Big Zit and Wisconsin’s Tenement, a three-piece Luca Cimarusti hails for their perfect take on fuzzy midwestern pop punk.
