Baltimore hardcore hit Birmingham hard.

Gasket brought their nasty mix of hardcore punk and metallic crunch to Saturn, with a set that felt mean, raw, and exactly as filthy as it should. One of those bands that makes a lot more sense when you’re standing ten feet away from it.

Sheer Terror brought New York hardcore to Birmingham, and Saturn got mean for the night.

Four decades deep and still sounding like they’ve got something to prove.
