Found a copy of an old scene Zine called 502 BREAKDOWN. ITK was featured and this came out to feed the hype about us and We Speak Texan coming back. The show we played together at Bulldog Cafe was legendary. One issue released, no cover photo (printer screwed up), lots of lessons learned, great idea though!

@thewavezine_ is a beautiful thing in the current timeline and they are AMAZING! All over the place making sure the hardcore scene is informed and entertained. I’m glad this sort of thing is making a comeback! Plus everyone gets to keep up when life gets in the way.

Thank you everyone! @xstillxtruex for putting the show together. @campspaceman for existing and thriving.

@gunculturehc and @maeshima.502 - truly excited to see where you all go from here. Absolute rippers. 🤝

@nogravehc - that Ohio hardcore HIT and they are the reason @jmfkmii needs @tiger_balm_us

@takenlivesky - you all carry the torch. Please keep that shit up!

@bazookatoothtn - thank you for writing D.M.C.K. It’s in the running for AOTY (Mertz). Watching you all play those songs made it so much better!

With that being said: Ibuprofen. #thankyou

SNEAK PEEK! We will be excitedly presenting our hard work over the last few months on 8/14/26

The Bottom Waits With Open Arms - a reprisal from our EP Legendary Torment.

Let us know what you think so far. We believe we have hit a stride and everyone in ITK is writing OUT OF YOUR MIND music. We have an EP coming out this fall, including this song.

Show tickets are now on sale on @dicefm - link in the bio!

You think you love music until you actually play a real show, then it becomes an addiction. This is an ABSOLUTELY INSANE LINEUP - Thanks to @xstillxtruex for carrying the team on his back with this one! He will continue to bring solid music through here!

As I said the lineup is STACKED @bazookatoothtn @takenlivesky @maeshima.502 @nogravehc @gunculturehc All of us look forward to sharing the stage with each of you at @campspaceman. The best part of the Louisville hardcore community.

Thank you for all your team does. Cities need places like Camp Spaceman to bring people the music they love! We hope to add to the community and look forward to helping it grow!

When recording music you should really get a vocal knife. TRUST US! It really makes the rest of the band work harder.

We have some cool stuff to show you. 😎

Soon! ™️
