Risks Make Better Memories Than Nostalgia: Sound and Fury 2022
Rob Shepyer
August 8, 2022
Followers of Jankysmooth know that Sound and Fury has always been my favorite festival in Los Angeles. The feeling of being onstage and seeing a barrage of young people charging a band was incomparable among all of our precious and diverse music scene. The openness of artists to share the stage and microphone with their beloved fans made me an instant admirer of hardcore. Growing up a metalhead, I came to the realization that live, nothing touched hardcore. The constant flow of love between audience, artist and promoter made me feel part of something larger than myself, no matter how outgoing or shy I was. And it wasn’t just the scene that I found a home in, it was Sound and Fury specifically. It’s not common that artists constantly show an outpour of love to a promoter but at Sound and Fury, artists had a special connection to the festival that made them constantly thank Riley, Martin, and Madison by name during their sets. After all, these guys weren’t just the people that got them a gig, they were friends that gave them a platform for their art when few else would. Sound and Fury gave Anaiah Lei a platform

Return to Reign: Sound and Fury Presents Terror and Strife at 1720

How crazy is it that it’s been three years since the last Sound and Fury? Here was this festival that acted as a living metaphor for eternal youth and summer love, and then it got suspended by lockdowns that in essence froze people’s minds from maturing while their bodies very much got three or five or ten years older over the pandemic. Still though, the relevance of the bands that made Sound and Fury so special haven’t been diminished one bit since they demolished the Belasco. Mindforce and Dead Heat are still the young princes in this kingdom. Meanwhile, Terror and Strife are still kings. related content: L.A.’s Best Festival is Sound And Fury (imo). Here’s Why: Dead Heat opening a hardcore show must mean there’s some kind of killer lineup ahead. Usually, this band is either the closer or direct support, brought out as some kind of secret weapon to really get the festivities popping off, but this show was almost a mini-festival, and the pits needed to be wild right from the jump, so who better than Ventura County’s own nardcore royalty, Dead Heat? Nobody’s better, that’s who. related content: Boston Calling: Sound And Fury 2019 Legendary New

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
