Bane takes you right back to the (somewhat earnest) days of your youth, when you were fitter, more attractive, healthier, way angrier and only needed three chords for the rest of your life. Unlike your lazy ass, Bane hasn't stopped; slinging passionate hardcore at a breakneck pace since nineteen-frigging-ninety-five (amid persistent rumours that each tour is the band's last). Bane is nothing if not consistent, and you could stand to take a pointer or two from its devotion and energy, because didn't you spend most of last weekend watching Downton Abbey? What happened to us? Oh, and please mind your brittle, aged bones whilst in the circle pit. --SJ
