THE GRUNDLES / MOURN RECIF / VYING FOR GLORY / SKUM SHINE / KESU FNORD
Live Show Review
Welcome to Dakota-Fest aka the April 27th show in Duncan and the first for bands The Grundles and Mourn Recif, the latter of which I play guitar/vox for. Dakota put on this show (the dude in three of the five bands!) which was primarily acoustic folk punk and punk/hardcore merging with screamo. Mourn Recif's next show is May 24th in Victoria (linked here) then May 25th back in Duncan at the Time and Space Continuum (linked here).
Closing act and another first show, THE GRUNDLES played thrashy hardcore to close out the night, and it was their "Haille Sellasse, Up Your Ass" cover of Propagandhi that had me screaming along.

MOURN RECIF
This was our first show. We've been a band since January 2024. We are influenced by punk and screamo, primarily. Usually I'm pretty decent at band comparisons but when it comes to projects that I play in I just draw blanks. If you have any opinions about "for fans of" or "sounds like" please let me know in the comments so I can use that shit in future posts. We have two shows this weekend, Friday in Victoria and Saturday in Duncan. Stoked.

VYING FOR GLORY
Mixing dirty rock'n'roll with punk, this Duncan band played a buncha stuff including covers.

SKUM SHINE
This Victoria-based collective featured a stripped-down two members (but snagged Dakota a few days prior to triangle out that trio) and had the crowd singing along in no time. Acoustic folk punk.

KESU FNORD
This opener was a very cool solo act featuring vocals and an acoustic guitar. Folksy punk rock fer sure.
