HAYWIRE LIVE IN VIETNAM BY CÁ KOI LANG THANG

Bro I don’t even know whose shoulder I landed on but thank you, genuinely.

I came with a camera and a plan.. Haywire, Boston hardcore, raw street punk fused into something meaner. Shoot the first three songs, stay professional. Then he pulls the crowd in like it’s a conversation and suddenly you’re not a spectator anymore, hold the camera up in the air, I’m airborne, and then I’m just floating, hands everywhere underneath me, the whole room holding me up like they’d been waiting all night for exactly this. before the floor finds me and the pit moves on without missing a beat. Vietnam’s underground scene was born for exactly this. Got maybe forty clean shots. Zero regrets about the rest.

Beyond the Verse by Ca Koi Lang Thang

Ethos Collective returned with a show that put sound at the centre. Beyond The Verse celebrated instrumental storytelling, improvisation, and the kind of energy that grows from pure instinct.

This album captures a lineup that moved between atmosphere, heaviness, and groove. Some bands are familiar faces in the Vietnamese underground, and others played Ho Chi Minh City for the first time.

Lineup:
Fuko, math rock fused with stoner rock from Nha Trang
Shallow Vessels, brooding and atmospheric post rock
7/4 Surfers, a bass and drum duo with intricate rhythms
Bedlam Royals, experimental post metal with shifting intensity
Skeleton Goode, wild and colourful psychedelic surf rock
