Dry Socket @ New Cross Inn, London 20/11/25 with Uncertainty/Good Cop/Flesh Prison
Brighton Power Violence crew Flesh Prison gets things kicked off on a freezing cold Thursday night in south east London which thick chugging riffs and breakdowns. They're followed by local favourites and ‘Queercore soldiers’ Good Cop ,who’s frantic guitarist manages to unplug themselves about 6 or 7 times, but their energy which mixes some Extreme Metal elements cannot be contested.
Uncertainty's front person Tim is out of breath after the first song, which is never surprising given the balaclava they’re sporting whilst belting out high energy Hardcore activism. Highlighting both the day of Trans solidarity and veganism they demonstrate why they’re a current scene favourite for both the Hardcore and Queercore scenes, with plenty of shapes and spin kicks being thrown around the pit.
Dry Socket played here in January as part of the Reality Unfolds weekender and aling with Uncertainty were one of the main highligys. Today they are fresh off the plane from the US and just about surving without sleep for the past 24 hours. But they show no signs of flagging as the Fastcore four piece tear through their set including new songs from their recent Violentia Split 7 inch along with other favourites like Abomination. Their set feels short clocking in around 20 minutes but given their songs are about two minutes or so long and their current state of mind, its understandable.
