Two hours driving, having some technical problems with the car, but just arrived on time when VIOLENT REACTION started to play, second time seeing these guys playing cause I saw them in Barcelona last 14th July, and also at the fest they killed it as well as HOUNDS OF HATE (though in my opinion I've would rather to see them at the tent stage, instead of the main stage). Next on the list of bands I liked: SECTARIAN VIOLENCE (I just can say: madness in the pit, I loved it!) and HARM'S WAY. I missed COKE BUST and the other bands due that me and my buddies had to search for a place where we could camping and built a huge tent. Imagine three people who hate camping building a tent which was big as an auto. So, I finished the 1st day of the fest with the DISCO PARTY at the tent stage. Such a cool time I had. Dancing nearly all night long, sometimes with nice company and sometimes dancing with myself. Ryan, from AS WE WERE, did a good job as Dj. Everybody shaking their asses and sweating like in a sauna.
Saturday was somekinda "relaxing" day, trying to rest standing in the shadows cause the heat was killer; in the tent it was impossible to be, it was like being in an oven. So what I did: talking with friends, checking out distros, eating vegan burgers. Bands that were good to see this day: EN MI DEFENSA, GOVERMENT FLU, REMISSION, REFLECTIONS, VOWELS, WOLFXDOWN (people going psycho singingalong and stagediving with this band), VITAMIN X (the fun is always present with these guys, the stage invasion and huge wall of death were amazing!). This night not much party cause my knee and right leg were fucking me up. So, at midnight went straight to sleep.
Sunday early morning packing everything and left the festival. It was a pity that I had to left, cause this day I missed to see OATHBREAKER. I had such a great time meeting old friends from several countries, mainly the ones that I just knew via internet and then after many years we had the chance to see us in person. Making new friends was also joyful.
Without doubt this is still my favourite kind of* HC-PUNK festival, not like others that have fucking energy drinks or any crappy sponsors, show girls "for the public's entertainment", FUCKING BARRICADES and bodyguards in front of the stage, shitty press passes. etc.
So, till next year ROKYCANY!
