Band: 80 Bagg
From: Columbia, South Carolina
Their formation story:
(Steven, bass): "We're from a town filled with deathcore and metalcore, and we found one another through a mutual interest in starting an actual hardcore band in the area.
"Our late friend Jordan Thomas came up with the name one night when we were all hanging out, and it just stuck."
Their sound in their own words:
"For fans of drug abuse, depression, No Warning. Crown of Thornz, and Subzero."
Latest release info:
"This is the third song we ever wrote, and I think it was the one that helped us find our sound. We released our demo over a year ago and played almost 30 shows just off of that, so it took us longer than anticipated to finally get something new out, but we feel like this is the perfect representation of the direction we are going as a band."
Future plans:
"We have a hometown show on June 28 at Art Bar, which is a memorial benefit for our friend and founding member of the band, Jordan Thomas, and the final show for his band, Severed By Dawn.
"In August, we are playing the Beach Brawl festival in Hampton, Virginia, with Cold as Life, Skarhead, Division of Mind, and a bunch of others. We also have a huge unannounced show in October that we are stoked on."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Dangerous Game, Selfish Means, Hellrazor, Paper Trail, Waste of Space, Rat Poison, Skin You Alive, and God Glitch."
