Dutch hardcore legends Neuroot bring their pissed-off D-beat punk to The Cobalt with Brutalize, Hunched Man & GIRLWIFE.

The Cobalt presents Neuroot with Brutalize, Hunched Man, and GIRLWIFE.

Neuroot (Netherlands)

Founded in Doesburg, Holland in 1980, Neuroot are among the most revered names in European hardcore punk history. Called "the new ruler of hardcore madness" by Pushead in Thrasher Magazine in 1986, the band built their legacy on fast, relentless D-beat and politically charged anarcho-punk at its most uncompromising. Across four decades they have toured Asia, Australia, the US, and beyond, and their most recent album False Profit dropped in 2024. If Neuroot are coming to your city, you go.

Brutalize (Vancouver, BC)

Ultra raw Vancouver D-beat and noise punk. No frills, no filler, just pure punishment. Brutalize have carved out their place in the Vancouver underground with a string of releases including a split with Berlin noise punks Electric Masochist.

Hunched Man (Vancouver, BC)

Spazzy Vancouver hardcore punk recorded in a dark hole and delivered with maximum intensity. Their 2025 release FREE THINKER is eight tracks of fast, unhinged fun.

GIRLWIFE (Vancouver, BC)

Raw crust and D-beat punk from Vancouver with a demo that hit hard in early 2025. A band you can depend on.
