That’s a wrap on Initial Shock IV! What a weekend full of incredible sets and good times. The venue was at capacity on Friday (during the requisite Initial Shock heat wave), and turnouts remained good all weekend. The new 3-day format with two evening shows, a market and a matinee worked out great and will be kept in place for next year’s edition. Photos and video from the weekend are still being processed and will be shared here and on YouTube when ready. Many thanks to all artists, volunteers and attendees who helped make this a great weekend. As well as to the sponsors who helped with advertising, accommodations and food: More Noise Please, Noise Receptor Journal, Pensione Popolo, Pizza Bouquet, Rocker, Untitled zine and White Centipede Noise. See you July 2027 for Initial Shock V!
