This is the one to get excited about. This is your only chance to see what all the fuss was about the first time round. From inception to their legendary sold-out final show, The Long Haul were one of the most important elements of the short-lived, yet explosive, UK Swell movement. Taking the energy and controlled anger of Converge, Botch and Coalesce and welding it onto the angular abrasion of The Blood Brothers, Breather Resist or Young Widows - The Long Haul were, are, visceral, cerebral hardcore for everyone to go absolutely wild to. A band that were a fundamental building block of modern UK hardcore, the interlocking relationships this band had with bands such as Vales, Goodtime Boys, Pariso, Kerouac and Bastions created one of the most progressive, forward thinking scenes in years - something not to be baulked at in this musical-mud-soup internet-era. Saturday 21st May 2016 will be a chance to not only celebrate 10 years of Holy Roar, but also to celebrate one of the most awesome heavy bands from one of the best, unique, organic scenes this island has created in modern times. Fuck prepackaged haribo-cyber-bat-emo and baby shoe-gunge [sic] and endlessly regurgitated and rehashed ideas. Celebrate something fucking real.
