Killrazer, Speedball and D.R.I. played on Thursday night at the Crowbar in Sydney. As the Doors opened the crowd rushed to the front of the barrier ready for a punk filled night.

As Sydney based punk band, Speedball, walked on stage we knew we were in for an epic set. Not only were they playing with D.R.I. in Sydney, they are doing the whole tour. As Speedball kicked off their set with Go To Hell, the towering vocals and harmonies created intoxicating elements and the blazing tempos made you excited for the next song.

As Speedball finished the set with Struggle Street they left the fans buzzing on a high. As you looked into the crowd you could see the excitement on everyone's face and they were ready for D.R.I.

The lights dimmed and then D.R.I walked on stage, and everyone had brought their moshing shoes. As D.R.I. kicked off their set with The Application, the feedback bounced off the walls of the venue. As they continued their set with Hooked, The Explorer, and Karma, the powering set of irresistibly catchy melodies captured the crowd's attention, and the circle pits opened up, and everyone was caught in a mosh.
