Watch Contenders Cover The Bludgers' 'Sh*t Factory'
Inarguably one of Aotearoa's most explosive live groups, Hamilton punks Contenders threw down a helluva set at Pōneke's Newtown Festival, which happened in early March but feels like a hazy memory in our current lockdown era. They've revealed awesome black and white live footage from that Sunday afternoon show outside of Creeps Record Parlour, featuring the Cilla Kinnaird-fronted band busting out a breakneck version of The Bludgers' 'Shit Factory' while the crowd goes nuts (eagle eyed viewers can spot our sunglasses-wearing editor near the front). The video is a crucial reminder of what we have to look forward to once live shows get back on track – experience Contenders' punchy take on 'Shit Factory' here and catch them with The Bludgers and a legion of more legendary groups this October, bringing it at Punk It Up V...
