TrashXStrike
Formed during the 2025 sanitation worker strike in Philadelphia, TrashxStrike call themselves South Philly Straight Edge, but that barely scratches the surface of their sound or their conviction. Their live energy hits like a brick wall — ripping from hook‑laden hardcore punk and shout‑along choruses to thrashy, mosh‑ready riffs that cement them as a force to be reckoned with.
TrashxStrike is a love letter to every era of hardcore and a furious stand against a world made dangerous not only by cruelty, but by the people who choose to look away.
Their debut 12" EP, "Core Values" delivers seven politically charged tracks confronting senseless wars, corruption and inequality.
