BONA FIDE BLOG

Perhaps the head should say "IGNITE" instead since they were the only band I saw of all the bands that played during this two day event. I went to Örebro with the intention of catching three bands; DEAD REPRISE whom I missed due to getting there late, DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR whom I missed when I was out eating just before the main attraction IGNITE were going to play.

IGNITE were great as always, mixaing old songs with new material and a few covers. Zoli always have great things to say on stage, and even if I don't agree with him every time his "speaches" are someting different than the standard preaching at shows.

A few observations and thoughts:

1. A stage dive means diving from the stage, not setting up camp and staying there forever.

2. A lesson in history: UNIFORM CHOICE is one of the best hardcore bands ever. Look them up if you don't know them already.

3. The scene today is very young. We, the old ones, are responsible to make sure that what makes hardcore special i passed on to the younger kids. At the moment hardcore is in danger of becomming just another genre of music.

4. IGNTIE is great!

5. Treasurefest is a good thing, even though they don't book that many bands that appeal to me personally. I hope they will be back again next year with an even better show.
