mastodon 4.6.8The Counterforce is an initiative to push back against the corporate capture of hardcore punk.
Rather than funnel punk into profit-driven walled gardens, we want to foment and encourage a culture that is autonomous and independent. This is not just a nostalgic, backward-facing project – we want to explore new alternatives for spreading hardcore punk online and offline.
