It's been a long while since there was a decent Hardcore show in Norwich. We've never recovered after basically losing all our venues here and here (it's worth noting the second one still exists but it is now plus 18 and with a strict sound limiter that cuts any kind of sound out, making it useless). So it was with great relief that this year's Christmas show at the cricketers (last year's was with Gallows literally just as they exploded; flyer.
So it was with great excitement to learn that Cloak/Dagger's European tour with Life Long Tragedy would be coming here in support of their excellent debut album We Are.
And they certainly do not disappoint. Despite not great sound levels and the majority of the crowd there for the other "Breakdown-y" bands, Claok/Dagger still rip through their set with terrifying velocity and is a set or brutal, honest, REAL hardcore punk. Included fantastic versions of Runways, Kamikazes and New Years Resolution. This band have had a great year and show massive potential for the future, and I can't wait to see what they do next.
