Forgotten Token / Un Momento

Un Momento

Skramz. Screamo. Emoviolence.

Welcome to emotive hardcore, a sound that has no definitive origin but is a blend of a variety of settings and tones. 

I'm honored this round to be joined by two very excellent friends, Geoff Rickley of the band Thursday and GENG PTP aka King Vision Ultra. Each of us have curated different snapshots of origin stories, packed living rooms, harsh and melodic sounds, and one big middle finger to America.

We're all ready proud of this. It came from an organic dialogue and if we weren't restricted with time limits probably could've gone on for at least another hour. 

Expect a positive ferociousness.

Cause & Effect: Emotive Hardcore (with Geoff Rickley & GENG PTP)

Panelists: Lychee, Zoë Beery, Niyah West

- What is the role of art in times of uncertainty? 
- How can we consider our environmental & social impact as we invest in our own creative output?
- How does social media help us connect with others, communicate ideas, and foster culture?
