Whiplash Syndrome Festival in Shanghai

Date: Dec 7 - 8 pm

Venue: Mao Livehouse

Dust Bolt just could not have prepared for what has happened since starting their band back in 2006. Spending twelve years next to each other in a bus, playing every shithole that has electricity and even making it big in America does bring people closer together. But people also drift further apart. So this might be so-called "growing up". When they put out their debut record "Violent Demolition" in 2012 singer/guitarist Lenny Bruce, drummer Nico Remann, guitarist Flo Dehn and bass player Bene Munzel were still teenagers. In 2014, "Awake The Riot" made waves in the international metal scene. Just another two years later these Bavarians made the next step with "Mass Confusion", which led to an invitation from Metal-Legends Exodus and Obituary for a US tour.
