The Callous Daoboys

Sunday 17 August, The Fighting Cocks, Doors open: 7pm.

The Fighting Cocks is located in 56 Old London Rd, Kingston upon Thames KT2 6QA (Image supplied)

THE CALLOUS DAOBOYS: A recklessly free-spirited collective made of six members, featuring a violinist and multiple vocal contributions.

Together they deliver a vibrant combination of mathcore, sass core, and post-hardcore — a sound that is at once abrasive, chaotic, and classy. Revelling in high-strung extremity their music is dense, impenetrable, and chaotic yet confusingly inviting as each song deliriously swerves across stylistic lines.
