Though they formed in 1979, the Varukers are a proper early-1980s UK hardcore band. They play fucking LOUD and FAST while hollering the basic truths about “Another Religion Another War” and asking “How Can Your Conscience Allow This to Go On?” Welp, since not much has changed, 40 years on, they’re still angry and they’re still playing loud and fast!! Sorted as openers tonight are Bremerton’s killer thrash group Generation Decline, whose sound lovingly leans into sweet, classic late-’80s Raw Power–era Stooges riffage; Open Veins, local dual-guitar shredders who’ll kill it, early-’80s hardcore style; and Nightfeeder. by Mike Nipper
