Integrity

"integrity is dark. like being paralized but feeling a cockroach crawling across your shoulders."

Integrity are playing the Old Blue Last, the pub in Londons trendy Shoreditch, on Friday night with support from Braindead and Rot In Hell. The show spectacularly sold out within eight hours which is pretty much unheard of for a hardcore show and promises to include "very special guests" who are rumoured to be Vegas, but sources can neither confirm or deny this.

The crowd is expected to be a mixture of people..

a. The diehard Integrity fan.
b. the Vice reading hardcore fan (who listens to nothing other than what Vice Magazine has recommended)
c. the hardcore kids that want to check out the supports and know that the show will be incredible and off the hook even if they arent Integrity fans
d. and finally, those that have been nicknamed the new breed of Integrity fans.. the ones that havent been into them for that long, and know all the words to "Vocal Test". *ahem*


The quote above was taken from a friend who is a diehard Integrity fan, when asked to describe the band in a sentence.

I have seen Integrity 3 times (once as Integrity 2000 so this doesn't count). Everytime, I have gone to see the look on his face. The man has a look in his eyes that has died in the hardcore scene. A look I used to see a lot in the late 90s..

I look forward to seeing this look again.
