Crowbar

The Murder Capital brought their potent mix of post-punk intensity and raw emotion to Sydney’s Crowbar, delivering a performance that was as electrifying as it was captivating. Known for their powerful live shows and gritty sound, the Irish band proved why they’ve become a rising force in the post-punk scene.

Their performance was a testament to their incredible musical prowess and unrelenting passion. If you have the chance to see them live, don’t hesitate, this is a band that is only going to get bigger, and what a privilege it was to witness them live in a small venue.

Support came from Adelaide's dreamy Swapmeet and Sydney post-punk outfit Second Idol.
