Janky Smooth Central Command September 21, 2021

Photos by: Albert Licano Rotting Out held their highly-anticipated album release party for Ronin at Chain Reaction but a few days later, they stopped by 1720 to bring the party to Los Angeles. This wasn’t just about celebrating Ronin though, this was a tribute to Power Trip singer Riley Gale, who never got a proper live goodbye in Los Angeles after tragically losing his life in 2020. Rotting Out brought so much power and excitement along with Dead Heat and the rest of the openers. These photos are completely off the wall.

Photo Recap: Deicide at 1720

Janky Smooth Central Command August 18, 2021

If there was any doubt that concerts are back, these pictures are all the proof you’ll need. Deicide always brings it when they roll around to Los Angeles, in fact they were one of the last death metal shows of 2019. Although this night seemed to be even more insane given we’ve all been cooped up in our homes for so long. Joining them were Canadians, Kataklysm, a band that sounds like absolutely no other death metal group around. Photos by: Albert Licano Deicide Kataklysm Internal Bleeding Begat the Nephilim

Danger and Fun: Nature World Presents Made Before Sound at 1720

Rob Shepyer July 15, 2021

It’s never been more punk to attend a show. Sure, in the 80’s there was the threat of being stomped out by skinhead mobs or having beer spit in your face for wearing the wrong band shirt but today, a respiratory virus can actually reward your daring for going to a show by permanently mangling your organs. You don’t even need to be in the pit, you can hang back in the farthest corner from the action and still be just as much of a risk-taker as the next cat, crazy enough to test your luck and praying you don’t come out the venue with a strange, dry cough. If you’re going to die young because you went to a show, I could understand if it was a Nature World show. It’s been awhile since this amazing name brought us a show, their Nature World Night Out festivals were enough years ago that we all started to miss them. What distinguishes Nature World from every other promoter is that they have one foot in each underground, punk and rap. When the two come together, you have mohawks bouncing to trap and dreadlocks moshing to hardcore. It’s a beautiful thing to

Take This: The Ultimate Hardcore Ticket Giveaway

Janky Smooth Central Command June 29, 2021

In hardcore more than any other genre, concert attendance is part of what keeps the scene going. Concerts aren’t so much about entertainment and release as they are about community in hardcore, shows are what keeps hardcore kids close to their friends. With no festivals lined up till 2022, the least we at Janky Smooth could is giveaway enough tickets that one lucky person could feel like they’re going to a festival only the sets are really, really spread out. That’s why, I took a look at all the concerts slated for the year and assembled a ticket bundle of the best four (minus Turnstile) to giveaway in one megalodon giveaway. First there’s Terror with Drain, One Step Closer and Dare. Later in September, Sound and Fury returns with a show featuring Fiddlehead headlining with support from Militarie Gun and Object of Affection. Moving onto October, we return to the Lodge Room for Knocked Loose, Gatecreeper, Magnitude and Kharma. And finally, we top off the giveaway bundle with the sold out Citizen show at Lodge Room with Drug Church, Glitterer and Floating Room. YOU CAN BUY TICKETS TO TERROR HERE, FIDDLEHEAD HERE, KNOCKED LOOSE IS SOLD OUT, AND CITIZEN IS SOLD

Photo Recap: Madball at 1720

Janky Smooth Central Command March 8, 2020

NYHC legends Madball were in the house at 1720 and gave the entire venue a lesson in how much style and bounce you can pack into hardcore. These guys are OG’s in this game and by the sound of their set, it shows because hardcore this heavy and ass-kicking could only come from the mind and guts of a pack of guys who’ve been around the block. Accompanying the band for this show was Death Before Dishonor, Section H8 and Stone Cold Stunner. Every band’s hardness and brutality shined on this night. Check out our pics from the show: Photos by: Veronika Reinert Madball Death by Dishonor Section H8 Stone Cold Stunner
