Pittsburgh’s explosive purveyors of manic hardcore, Code Orange Kids recently made their first hometown appearance in over a year at the Mr. Roboto Project venue (presented by The Root Of Evil Collective) with Maryland’s Full Of Hell firmly in tow. Celebrating a blistering debut full-length on Deathwish Inc, Love Is Love // Return To Dust, Code Orange Kids just kicked off a fresh European tour with Circle Takes Square and Full Of Hell (Dates below the fold). The band also released a new song “VI (Worms Fear God // God Fears Youth)” on a 4-way split 7″ with Tigers Jaw, Self Defense Family, and The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die via Topshelf Records earlier this year.
They say absence makes the heart grow founder.
And if that be any measure, the lack of presence in their hometown over the past 12 months made for an electrifying crowd reaction as the these harbingers of unhinged hardcore brought forth the thunder. Despite their unimposing statures, the members of Code Orange Kids unleash some of the most compelling and consuming live musical energy you’ll find on American soil right now. The sense of immediacy with Code Orange Kid‘s live show sets them far ahead of the pack.
We’ve got an exclusive Full Of Hell, Loma Prieta, Fucking Invisible– Philly Edition gallery coming tomorrow, so we’ll leave the FOH chat till then.
Let us first introduce our newest contributor, the very talented Tanner Douglass of Pittsburgh, PA. We’ve had the pleasure of admiring his photographic work in the area with bands such as Heartless and Masakari, and we are thrilled to have him on board holding it down for the west side of the state. Our Pittsburgh coverage just got an upgrade.
Without further ado..
