Raw Brigade Highlights Colombian Hardcore and Cultural Roots with '100%' Documentary

- By Ramon Gonzales -->

Watch the Derek Rathbun-directed feature that brings into focus the rise of Raw Brigade and the greater culture of hardcore in Colombia. 

A testament to the far-reaching influence of hardcore's greater culture, Colombia meets NYHC in the form of highly regarded exports, Raw Brigade. Among the genre's current frontrunners, the band continues their charge towards their pending full length album, 100%, arriving November 14th via Flatspot Records. 

Along with the band's firmly established hardcore roots and sonic muscle, the cultural significance of the collective is plays an essential factor, recording both English and Spanish versions of the album emphasizing their fervent connection with fans both home and abroad. 

The newest album follows the acclaim of the band's 2022 full length debut, Aggressive City. On the strength of the album, the band went from coveted prospects to hardcore heavy hitters, earning healthy touring spots, festival appearances and becoming a staple on the hardcore circuit. 

Introducing the new album first with a pair of pummeling singles in “BOGOTÁ 12-4Q” and “Another Struggle,” Raw Brigade heaved on the barrage with the confrontational single, "Shut Up," - adding to the swell of momentum surrounding the pivotal full length release. 

 

Ahead of the arrival of 100%, Raw Brigade have teamed with director Derek Rathbun and assistant editor Raul Valdez for a 15-minute documentary film framing the band's impact on Columbian hardcore. Compiling interview footage, candid b-roll from the tattoo shops that first brought the members together and the DIY spaces and venbues that ultimately gave rise to Raw Brigade, the film presents the story of a band primed for success and dedicated to putting on their community. 

In support of 100%, Raw Brigade will be out on the road with dates throughout the month of December supporting genre legends, Agnostic Front. See a complete list of dates and cities below.
