Cút Lộn is a Vietnamese hardcore band that was formed in 2018. It started as a crossover thrash band with their debut album “Xào Ke" in early 2019, which was followed by 3 more singles during 2020-2023.
In early 2024 the band changed the vocalist and the music direction towards being heavier, darker and more chaotic. With this new lineup the band released their second studio album “Bắc Thảo” in August 2024 and then the third one called “Dzữa” in October 2025.
Cút Lộn is known for their high energy live performances and poetic lyrics written in Vietnamese. Almost every song from their crossover thrash era has a music video to it released on their YouTube channel and the band also released two music videos for the newer songs from “Bắc Thảo".
The band played a lot of shows all around Vietnam and also in China, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and Cambodia. Some of their notable performances include Rock Alarm Festival 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand and Baybeats Festival 2025 in Singapore.

We are We Came As Dirt, an unconventional hardcore/punk band consisting of (ex-) members of TroubleLovesUs, Hemelbestormer, Traffico and The Kid Karate, among others.
We Came As Dirt alternates straight forward hardcore grooves with weird-timed breaks and tempo switches.
Influences of '90s mainstrays Botch, Coalesce and Deadguy are undeniable, but We Came As Dirt succeeds in crafting an exciting sound that is all their own.
