The Punk Heart Festival comes to Shanghai this week - a tribute to the punk scene kicking up a storm around China as well as a celebration of the International punk friends it has embraced along the way. Special guests of honor are Madrid-based hard oi streetpunkers Non Servium. Founded in 1997, they’re as hardcore as they come - fierce drum rhythms, potent bass lines, steadfast guitars, and lyrics that take on punk, skinhead, and hooligan culture. They’ll be joined by Xi’an’s The NONAME, who likewise have been stirring the fires of punk music in China since the turn of the century, crafting anthemic sing-along punk with a 90s skate punk twist. Rounding out the festivities are Suzhou Oi! punk act Never Regret, freshly baked street punk act Stirrers, and Mini Koala - not afraid to bring some metal-inflicted headbangers to their sound.
