GIG REVIEW – Marine-core! #1 @ The Marine, Old Colwyn
Dogsflesh / Rabo De Toro / Fatalist / Spam Javelin / Entity
I’ve had a few requests from random Americans to join the Marine-core! Facebook group, I don’t think they are intending to visit North Wales, and this was not set up to fetish-ise some elite murder squad. Marine-core! is rather a celebration of the fact we can sustain alternative music in the area, as we have been for a few years before settling into our accommodating venue of choice.

Gave up trying to solve the mystery of where all the whiskey went and tried to restore the cultural balance visiting some art galleries. And more pubs. By mid-afternoon I was suffering badly but what better way to clear the head than Greeks bearing the gift of hardcore. More
