Hewhocorrupts Inc Unveils “Interruptions in Corporate Quality” Festival
Chicago Hardcore Label Puts Its Own Spin On The Notion Of A Festival
Chicago-based hardcore punk label Hewhocorrupts Inc is partaking in its
initial plunge into the shark infested waters of the festival circuit. From
April 20th to April 22nd, the label will be throwing a series of cultural
events throughout different regions in its hometown as a benefit for Punk
Planet magazine.
A festival in the loosest sense of the term, 'Interruptions in Corporate
Quality' aims to pursue a community feel throughout three events of
differentiating proportions:
The first night, 'Sit Back & Relax', showcases the visual artistic works from
artists on the Hewhocorrupts Inc roster. This event marks the debut of the
Holy Roman Empire "Guards Off" music video, a Hewhocorrupts PSA, and footage
from the Hewhocorrupts 2005 European tour. In addition, random footage from
Hewhocorrupts, Holy Roman Empire, Tower of Rome, and other Hewhocorrupts Inc
artists will weave in and out throughout the night. What's Missing From Your
Life (featuring Paul Degan of defunct Hewhocorrupts Inc act John Brown
Battery) and Unlucky Atlas play acoustic between film sets.
The second night, 'Lessons in Abusing One's Liver', attempts to create a
memorable evening through the consumption of a great deal of alcohol. Taking
place at the Mutiny, THE definitive dive bar in Chicago with a capacity of
less than 100 and the home to world's BIGGEST urinal, the event features grind
core kings Hewhocorrupts (Hewhocorrupts Inc / 625 Thrash), local metal gods
Sweet Cobra (Seventh Rule Recordings), Indiana's Phoenix Bodies, and newcomers
Nude Celebs (featuring Ben Phillips and Andrew Jakus, formerly of
Hewhocorrupts Inc act Not Enough Gold). Lesson participants should expect a
hangover the following morning.
The final night, 'A Night of Pummeling Conclusions', brings together an odd
array of diverse hardcore / metal / indie rock from both a national and local
standpoint to Chicago's infamous Metro. Kungfu Rick (625 Thrash, Robotic
Empire, etc.) reunites for one night only. Damnation AD (Jade Tree,
Revelation) plays its first Chicago show in over six years. The remainder of
the impressive lineup includes Holy Roman Empire (Hewhocorrupts Inc),
Righteous Jams (Kung Fu Records), (Lone) Wolf & Cub (Hewhocorrupts Inc, record
release show), and Tower of Rome (Hewhocorrupts Inc). The extremely eclectic
lineup hopes to shine a spot on an ever-evolving web of stale show lineups
brought about by lucrative package tours.
The series of events aspires to benefit the recently struggling independent
publication Punk Planet. Based in Chicago, Punk Planet has remained a shining
beacon of hope to general fans of independent culture throughout its twelve
(12) years in existence. Continuing struggles with the last national
independent periodicals distributor have lead to grave financial troubles as
well as concerns for the future of the independent press. For more
