Hardcore Music

QueerCore Fest, an annual do-it-yourself punk show, returns in Easthampton, Massachusetts this Friday and Saturday. WAMC's Sajina Shrestha spoke with festival organizer Ben Delozier and Albany band Daisy Chain about the event's efforts to create an inclusive space within the Northeastern Hardcore music scene.

Gratitude is a synchronized and jovial, up-and-coming Albany-based hardcore band with three femme-presenting members. It is part of a larger movement of minorities breaking the mold of what a hardcore band looks like.
