In the mix - Kwaicore

We bring you the bleeding soul, the revolution, the anti-genre and the South African spirit and rhythm. The compassion and trials through a new music blend of Kwaicore!

What is it?
It's fresh from the oven, hot off the presses, from their mouths to your ears it is the blend of two genres that could bring two cultures together. Taking things to a whole new level and crossing new divides, a couple of 031 rebels have decided to bridge the gap between hardcore punk rockers and the pantsula peeps from down town. The two music genres hardcore punk rock and Kwaito may seem like chalk and cheese but the unlikely combo just might work. I cannot wait to watch this sensational sound at work.

Why is it?
Everybody knows about apartheid, the serious downer that everyone avoids talking and reading about unless low and behold someone posts a racist comment on Facebook (trolling shortly ensues). So its come to light that segregation still exists among us and it is up to us Durbanites to stand together and eliminate this. Apparently you're not allowed to enjoy Kwaito if you're a Punk rocker, sorry for you if you wanted to get your Pantsula on. Also you cannot walk through the streets of Soweto (Kwaito's birth town) blasting the new hardcore "Demonology and Heartache" song without being the victim of merciless laughter and ridicule. Kwaicore brings these two genres together and by doing so brings crowds of people together who all have one things in common, they're love of music.

Check it! 
The genre is still very new and the artists are still working out the kinks but the raw sounds include incredible drum solos, cool kwaito beats mixed with insane shredding on guitar and vocals that will speak to every molecule in your body.

For now here are some rough cuts from other kwaicore supporters:
