People doing their thing in the circle pit at the Moroccan Lounge, and Towne Square in downtown Los Angeles.








Photos, photos, and more photos.

These photos are from three shows Animated Violence played last year and this year. The color shots are from Febuary 10, 2024 at Supply & Demand in Long Beach, and the black & white shots directly below the color set are from the Moroccan Lounge in DTLA on October 20, 2024, and the bottom five photos are from their Towne Square show on March 17, 2025. They have a cassette available through Bandcamp, or better yet, pick it up when they play your area. I am told they have an EP in the works.














This was my first time seeing Street Goblins. I will definitely make a point of seeing them again when they play. I caught them at the Moroccan Lounge this past Sunday night on a bill of all Southern California area bands. They crank out fast and loud hardcore punk with a tuneful edge. As you can see they also have the stage presence. I believe the vocalist was/is also in Goop.







Mr. Radical are one of the best live hardcore punk bands in Southern California these days. Every show they go full force. Nardcore via Orange County. These photos are from the show they played in the riverbed near the Bellflower skatepark this past summer, and their recent show at Don Quixote in East La.


















B.L.I.S.S. from Portland blew through California in September 2024 and leveled all who came within their range. Despite being a 2 man band they deliver the sonic equivalent of a full band, leaving one to wonder what would they be like with two more members? Deep in Los Angeles they shredded at a backyard and blew minds. They have a demo up at bandcamp. Hopefully more touring and some vinyl in the future.
