Cheem was one of those sets that made you stop and pay attention.

A little chaotic, a little weird, plenty heavy, and a whole lot of fun. Easily one of the standout sets from August 29 at WorkPlay.

Positive youth crew, Huntsville style. ByMySide brought the energy to Saturn with a set built for pile-ons, singalongs, and keeping hardcore fun.

Greyhaven has a way of making chaos feel surgical.

Heavy, unpredictable, and absolutely locked in, greyhaven brought one hell of a set through Birmingham at WorkPlay.

Bootprint bringing Huntsville hardcore to the Saturn stage. Local heavy music hits different when you get to watch the next wave grow right in front of you.

Baltimore hardcore hit Birmingham hard.

Gasket brought their nasty mix of hardcore punk and metallic crunch to Saturn, with a set that felt mean, raw, and exactly as filthy as it should. One of those bands that makes a lot more sense when you’re standing ten feet away from it.

🎸 GASKET • August 26, 2026

Sheer Terror brought New York hardcore to Birmingham, and Saturn got mean for the night.

Four decades deep and still sounding like they’ve got something to prove.

Birmingham heavy music this week, August 25-31. Hardcore, metal, punk, alternative rock and local DIY music across Saturn, WorkPlay, Avondale Brewing Company and The Nick, plus Cable Fest in Florence.

Save it. Send it to somebody who needs plans. Then actually show up.



Free local music at Saturn is a pretty easy sell. Radio Free Birmingham brings five Birmingham-area acts together Tuesday night, including Crush the Serpent, for a free mixed-genre local showcase.

Foxtide brings the Entropy Tour to Birmingham with The Braymores and Billy! at WorkPlay. A little lighter than the rest of this week’s Radar, but firmly rooted in the DIY and alternative side of the scene.
