Two legendary American bands – GORILLA BISCUITS and TERROR – are storming Prague’s Palác Akropolis to deliver the very best of American-style hardcore punk: raw energy, socially conscious lyrics, and a sense of community! Supporting them will be pop-punk powerhouse No Pressure.

Gorilla Biscuits are one of the most influential names in the American hardcore punk scene and are closely tied to the iconic era of 1980s New York hardcore. Formed in 1986, the band quickly earned a solid spot on the scene with their energetic, melodic sound and authentic ethos. Their self-titled debut EP and the landmark album Start Today are considered genre-defining classics to this day.

What sets Gorilla Biscuits apart is their positive message, which stood in stark contrast to the darker and more aggressive themes of some of their contemporaries. Their lyrics tackle personal responsibility, friendship, tolerance, and the importance of staying true to yourself—topics that continue to resonate across generations. Despite a long hiatus in the ’90s, every return to the stage has proven that Gorilla Biscuits are far from a nostalgic act; they remain a vital force in the current hardcore scene. Their shows are explosive celebrations of music and connection, brimming with sincere joy and energy.

Joining them is another hardcore icon: Terror, the relentless Los Angeles five-piece that has earned widespread respect since forming in 2002. Led by charismatic frontman Scott Vogel, Terror deliver unfiltered, high-impact hardcore—fast-paced drums, crushing riffs, and razor-sharp honesty. Their lyrics channel rage, frustration, and determination, always underpinned by themes of strength, unity, and staying true to one’s values.

Terror speak for those who refuse to give up. With roots in old-school hardcore and a modern edge, they’ve built a loyal global fanbase that spans generations.

Rounding out the lineup are California’s No Pressure, a band that’s been making waves since 2020 as a side project of Parker Cannon (vocalist of The Story So Far). No Pressure inject a fresh burst of life into the pop-punk scene—fast, melodic, and straight to the point. Their sound embraces rawness and sincerity, channeling the spirit of the genre’s ’90s heyday. Expect short, punchy songs, infectious hooks, and a live show packed with unstoppable energy. It’s music that cuts straight to the core and reminds us why we fell in love with pop-punk in the first place.
