Vietnam’s hardcore-thrash powerhouse CÚT LỘN is heading to Europe, confirmed for Obscene Extreme 2026, the first Vietnamese band to hit the festival’s main stage. Fresh off their new EP Dzữa, the band promises more EU tour dates soon.
District 105’s new documentary captures their groundbreaking EU tour, from chaotic prep days in Saigon to explosive shows across Europe. Featuring live footage, candid interviews, and fan stories, it’s a raw, heartfelt look at Vietnamese hardcore going global.
“Jaigontown” wasn’t just another concert—it was a statement. Jaigon Orchestra proved that Vietnamese bands can stage world-class performances without losing heart. From theatrical sets to singalong chaos, the night was pure connection, marking a new benchmark for local live music.
Saigon’s psychedelic misfits Skeleton Goode return with “Crocodile Wife” — a wild new single and video bursting with color, chaos, and charm. Blending surf rock swagger with surreal humor and hypnotic 3D visuals by Nindito Rizki, the track marks another bold, unhinged chapter in the band’s ever-evolving cosmic journey.
House of Ygra opens the gates once again — this time, to the farthest reaches of the human psyche and the galaxy alike. Eulogy For Our Dying Stars, the long-awaited third opus by Hanoi-based artist Lockeheart, is finally here, marking a decade-long pursuit of artistic vision and emotional catharsis.
CÚT LỘN’s Dzữa captures the band’s full transformation — from chaotic punk pranksters to a dark, disciplined force. Recorded by Bomb and produced by Sọt, the seven-track EP blends unfiltered aggression with precision and weight. From the title track’s feral riffs to the haunting slowdown of Mãn and the emotional depth of Hôm Qua, every moment feels intentional. It’s heavy, raw, and masterfully produced — both polished and dirty in perfect balance. Dzữa cements CÚT LỘN’s evolution into a band that no longer hides behind humor, standing firm among the heaviest and most honest voices in Vietnam’s underground.
