Watch Odd Future+Trash Talk playing "Radicals" and "Awake" live at 285 Kent on July 26, 2012. Even though they do have a new and pretty wicked industrial sized A/C at the warehouse on Kent, condensation started dripping from the ceiling 2 minutes into Trash Talk's set. Bodies were flying all over the place, swinging from the sprinkler pipes on the ceiling and vanishing in a several hundred people strong mosh pit. It was sheer mayhem and the ruckus was definitely brought to Brooklyn last night. Musically, it wasn't all that. But hey, what does a room full of explosive energy care about song writing finesse.

After the break: American Hardcore dinosaurs 7 Seconds at House of Vans as well as a lot of noise and experimental mayhem...
