Yes
You don't exactly fit the typical look of a hardcore punk completely, in other words you won't spend hours at the metal detector at the airport nor do you have to wear long sleeve shirts to work to cover your daring tats. However your heart is 101 percent punk.
You're indépendant, you make your own money and you don't let the system get you down. You work hard but only for the things you believe in. You leave work before 5 to catch happy hour at Amsterdam.
You like to throw the rules out the window and authority is not a concept you get along with. You're not afraid to make some noise and every now and then you cause chaos at the Winston. You've argued with bouncers and you know how to make a plan. You're a rebel and a freedom fighter. You miss Burn.
No
You never break the rules and respect authority because you are happy with the status quo. You feel no need for change and are pretty set in your conventional ways. Your interests are influenced by mainstream media and popular trends.
You work a 9 to 5 job and you don't mind starting from the bottom to get to the top. You're not a trouble maker and you tend to settle for what the system has to offer.
You wonder why people try so hard to be different. You are happy in your niche of the world and feel there is nothing wrong with being normal. You don't know what Burn is and you have never set foot in the Winston.
Maybe
You enjoy having control over the situation and you have a "it's my way or the highway" attitude. You aren't a rebel but you refuse to conform to societies norms. You are bright, witty and energetic with enough time to disagree with anyone.
You're opinionated and thus struggle with following rules. You question authority and can talk your way out of anything. You pave the path to your own future and you are as free as the birds. You've heard of Burn and you're known to make a good few laugh whilst under the influence.
You are a non-conformist
Are you a Durban Punk Rocker?

Sometimes I sit at my window at night and watch over the city as it breathes and sighs a relief from the hot day. I know the pavements are still warm from Durban's blazing heat and I imagine the sweat dripping down the brows of minimum wage workers, the blue collars and the underpaid and under appreciated. The moon is a balloon and all my thoughts seem float away with the heat.
I look out to my city and in my mind's eye I envision every person settling in for the night on a lazy Sunday evening. As the city begins to fall asleep, my mind wonders to a basement deep underground in the heart of town where a couple people I know are hard at work. A pen, paper and a voice worth listening to are all it takes to start a revolution. Cigarette smoke twists around the room, the stress of the day floats with it as an unlikely group of musicians channel their frustrations into what sounds like an angry mob. It takes time to create something that is worth your time and so we look forward to the future of Kwaicore. A tiny murmur that is growing into a massive underground movement deep in the depths of Durban.
These are every day people that work everyday jobs and with their spare change they are able to create something extraordinary. Some are rockers armed with guitars, drums and an "I don't give a fuck what you think" attitude. They are headstrong, passionate and have no fear except for the fear of their voices not being heard. Some are from the Ghetto having given birth to Kwaito with the backdrop of a post apartheid South Africa. Freedom of expression and political liberation are what they bring to the table, not to mention rhythm like you have never seen before. The gathering of these musicians has lead to discussions of social and political issues in our country. Knowledge is power and education is key so through divine intervention and these musicians, Kwaicore music will be our teacher, so be sure to pay attention in class!

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:
Punk rockers
Local townshippers
In the mix - Kwaicore
