August 19, 2026: SQUAT Show Ep. 29 - DAKONG BUAK//BIG BREAK

TOUGH LIKE A WATER BUFFALO—DAKONG BUAK//BIG BREAK!! brings 49 minutes of raw punk, powerviolence, hardcore and screamo from Southeast Asia and the diaspora.

In this episode, we’ll explore sounds of unrest from West Sumatra, Bangkok, Cebu and Manila, alongside Asian diaspora hardcore crews from New York, Toronto and beyond. Themes of memory, violence and rejecting authority run rampant through this 49-minute set, mostly in short, furious bursts.

We’ll also spotlight two bands visiting Montreal this weekend: FERMENT and Eskrima are both on the bill for Be About It Fest Vol. II. So if you’re a Filipinx punk, definitely check them out.
