11.01.2025 - Total Con/No Ambition/Aperture/Life Expectancy - The Little Buildings, Byker

First gig of 2025!

Was a very cold night at the Little Buildings, think it was about -3° when I got there!

 Total Con is the one-man band project of Bobby Cole, who also runs Brain Rotter records. Obviously, he has other people join him when playing live!

Really good hardcore punk, fast and angry!

They have three tapes out, one being a split and should have a 7" out later this year.

 No Ambition are pretty much Inflicter under a different name and line up.

Canny demo tape out by them as well.

 Life Expectancy, I'm not 100% about assume Leeds band and has a member of No Ambition in them.

More d-beat/grind punk, where the drummer does the vocals.
