If you’re like me, your favorite part of any major festival lineup is that last row towards the bottom where they shove all the scrawled out names of every obscure goregrind band they have opening up for the bigger guns. Well, let me ask you, what if they had a festival that was all of those obscure, scrawled out band names and only those obscure, scrawled out band names? And what if it happened on… Long Island? (I know, I know).
Enter Barely Breathing. The festival, now on its second year, seeks to create a concert experience geared towards all things hypergoreblast. Headliners this year include such goresoaked favorites as Haggus, Suppression, Couple Skate, Lt. Dan, Ixias, Come Mierda and many, many more. The festivities will be held at Mr. Beery’s in Bethpage, New York on August. A final announcement is still to come — with ticket info soon to follow — but you can peep what’s announced below and stay tuned to the fest’s Facebook event page.
