Tampa’s FYA Fest bares just one bold tagline: “dedicated to hardcore.” As the fest approaches its 7th year, it’s clear that this remains true.
The fest continues to feature a variety of hardcore bands. This year shines a spotlight on several fantastic bands that are local to the state, like Point of Contact, and, of course, FYA staples Three Knee Deep. At the same time, there’s a good amount of East Coast exposure here, with newer bands like Simulakra, as well as the fest return of the well-missed New Yorkers in Mindforce. Plenty of well-deserved internet buzz has been surrounding bands like Magnitude and Gulch. MH Chaos and Life’s Question make their FYA debut, a heavy nod to Chicago hardcore. And, of course, each day is closed out with a few hardcore legends - Killing Time and Madball on Saturday, and Disembodied and Integrity on Sunday. All in all - if you can’t find something you like here, then you need to get listening, now.
