It’s a slow enough week this week with Whelans showcasing lots of up and coming bands with their ones to watch festival. After a slow start though Saturday night sees two stormers. Anti-Fascist gigs are always good to see so Cable Street Beat Dublin presenting a night of raucous Oi proudly proclaiming to be Anti-Fascist is good to see. Also that night is the top class punk sounds of Fucked Up in the Grand Social. I’ve seen this band live a couple of times and the intensity and rawness of each gig is something else.
