Cut & Run Collective have been promoting shows over the past three years in the capital but this weekend marks the end of an era and something that has been great for the London scene where they will be putting on their final blowout for their third anniversary.
This collective has helped many bands and other artist take the stage and give them a platform to play right from their beginnings, giving all a chance. It’s going to be a sad occassion but also definitely a celebration of something that has been great for the London and UKH scene.
The following quote comes from their announcement over on Instagram:
‘IT’S TIME TO CUT AND RUN
After 3 years, we’re calling it a day. 3 more shows this year. The 2 announced, and one last big summertime blowout for our 3rd and final anniversary. Big love to Signature Brew for giving us a home, and every other venue we’ve been in. All the bands who have played our shows, it’s all love.
London Hardcore or Die
Love from CNR – Marcy, Loz, Will, Vic, Gabe Eddie and Mel‘
There’s a lot of good times to look back on so lets run it back one last time! This weekend see’s Realm Of Torment close out the final show PLUS 9 other support artists. I won’t hit up every single one but you should definitely give each and every band your time this weekend! Always turn up on doors.
Realm of Torment have been creating mosh music for well over a decade now and I have been fortunate enough to catch them as recently as Joshfest last November where they absolutely crushed the show. We don’t see a lot of the guys now so you know when they get added to a bill it’s going to be a special one!
Nottingham Riffers Human Deceit will be joining the line up this weekend. Starting out back in late 2022 between vocalist Matt and guitarist Kuzz came their debut demo thrown together with a mix of their influences. If you haven’t caught them before and you love a mix of hardcore and crossover then you’ll love what they have in store. Their latest single None But One which was released back in April is an absolute banger!
Londoners Higher Walls join us following their most recent group of shows including their 1st anniversary for their EP No End back at Blondies on 30th April. Higher Walls took a little break away over the past year but are now back in full force ready to annihilate the stage once again.
One of the bands on earlier in the day is the lads in Warden who I spoke to not too long ago. Warden who are based out of the South East released their debut 4 track EP ‘The Art of Reanimation‘ back in late January and have got some interesting things coming up but check out our interview with them to find out more!
Lets Av It also come out of the South East and bring their own style of Oi! Punk to the scene. They played their first show back in October 2025 and since then have featured on Affrays farewell, Smoke Over London shows.
Make sure you head there early to catch these fellas and I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of them.
The Cut & Run Final Show takes place this Saturday 26th September at Signature Brew Haggerston for the total cost of £18 and for an all dayer who could complain!
If you can’t make it, share the hell out of this show and show some love to the collective for everything they’ve done in recent years for the London scene!
Until next time, I’ll catch you in the pit!
