/point-blank/ Featuring Hawema and Pilgrim Soup

The Courtyard at New Noise is proud to present point-blank - an evening to get up-close and personal with some of the finest alternative bands in Durban right now.

Taking it back to our roots, the name New Noise pays homage to the Swedish hardcore band Refused and their track "New Noise," which speaks to breaking out of the monotony of the norm and seeking something original and thought-provoking.

The point-blank event does just that with live performances from Pilgrim Soup and Hawema, alongside a listening session of the vinyl compilation More Than Hate City by We Did This Records.

Pilgrim Soup is a rap-rock collective made up of members from acts such as PosterBoy, Wah Wah Baby, and Hawema. Bringing a new voice to every track, they deliver high-energy jams you won't find anywhere else outside of KZN.

Hawema brings a unique, energetic brand of punk-rock metal rap to the stage that blends genres and bends minds. Welcoming their OG drummer, Oudskul, back to town for this performance, the band is set to throw it down on an epic scale.

"We are super stoked to bless the stage at our young venue with these acts," says Steve Jones, Founder and Director of New Noise. "Rock music has a way of transporting us out of our heads and into our bodies to lose ourselves for a moment in time. This cathartic experience is what has kept generations coming back to explore these loud and heavy sounds time and time again."
