After getting stuck in the boonies of Beijing, and spending an hour and a half cab ride to get back to the city center – I managed to hit up School to jumpstart my comatose brain with a bit of the ol’ ultraviolence – gut busting punk courtesy of volatile, dissident Bastards of Imperialism, who were releasing their debut LP, Homeland Insecurity, and were firing on all cylinders, as well as Xinxiang outfit Pumpkins, who are the real deal – a hot mess of rollicking punk spirit and sweat. Dirty, fast chaos that simply puts shame to most other punk bands here in Beijing. Decadent as I may have been, I managed to sneak in a few photos of the fun. Guts and glory through and through.
