A night of neo-crust. The days may be getting lighter, but Orkz Bar is keeping it nice and dark!
From Belgium, melodic crustband Pesticide screeches out from the darkest corners of the night. Their music is inspired by anarchism, activism, DIY-culture and social themes – a perfect fit in the Orkz Bar.
Aufhebung, also from Belgium, brings us slow sludgy riffs and frantic screeching guitars, melancholic harmonies and dissonant droning. Reflective of a world in decay.
Have you heard of Dislexia? These young punx are one of Groningen’s newest punkbands, come see them live!

We Are The Harvest (Grunn): DIY post-hardcore and emo trio from Groningen with members of bands like AtackRobotAttack, Grinding Halt and Brito. And: they finally have a record! They wrote, played, recorded, designed and screenprinted the whole thing themselves. Limited edition, so best get it tonight! Keyword is energy, with dynamic variations, melodies and even some (dare we say it…) catchy tunes – but always without losing intensity.
Slumbercloud (Grunn): genre is a moving target for this group; their music is playful but aggressive, loud yet dynamically diverse, harsh and beautiful in the same breath. Born as a heavily grunge/punk-influenced project, now morphed into an inimitable mix of metal, grunge, noise rock and ambient post-rock, the band defines themselves anew with their debut full-length, SLC, released on November 8, 2024.
Karoushi (Grunn): experimental pop/post-hardcore with a sharp edge. With members whom played in great bands like Grinding halt, The last Mile and North to The Night. Rumour has it, they’ll release some new material soon. So maybe we’ll hear some new tunes!
