No rules and unapologetic – the “Do-It-Yourself” (DIY) nature of the hardcore punk movement began in the late 1970s and birthed a global community of artists, musicians, and fans that uphold the DIY ethos, where creators take matters into their own hands to express themselves through art and music. To provide a glimpse into the unique community, Vans kicks off its latest brand campaign, ‘The Spirit of DIY,’ featuring ambassadors of DIY culture from around the world who are making things happen and influencing the communities around them.

Last night was jam packed with fans for Cold World, RZL DZL, Never Ending Game, Motor City Madness with a line that was almost a mile long. Fans of these groups were greeted with free items like Van’s tote bag filled with two paper magazines created by Fifty8, a comic by Nick Kucway, and a cassette tape filled with some of the bands top song. There was nonstop action everywhere you looked, with people buying old vinyls to the pizza that was brought in for the night. The show was intense and new to the scene were welcome with stage dives and sweat from fellow fans. The big surprise was that this all happen on a Sunday.
