NEGATIVE GEARS, MACHIAVELLIAN ART, CAN KICKER.. at Exchange
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Dark punk propulsion for our shared Shitty Future(s) with jittery Aussie desolation from Negative Gears, Can Kicker’s anarcho-goth miserablism and the paranoid sheet metal skronk of Machiavellian Art. Plus Mercy Room are the hottest unreleased hxc experimentalists in town - you gotta check. This is mutually assured destruction FFO: Adolescents, Low Life, Wipers, Flipper, Marbled Eye, Bad Breeding, UK Decay. "

SHITTY FUTURES presents: LIVE PUNK MUSICS IN YOUR TOWN!!!

NEGATIVE GEARS (Sydney)
Punk rock from Australia which fans of Diat and Straw Man Army will love. Their latest album 'Moraliser' on Static Shock Records was easily one of the best of 2024. Excited to catch them on their first UK tour!
