SPINE

SPINE is a Miami-based hardcore punk band known for blending raw aggression with Latinx cultural influences and unapologetically political messaging. Emerging from Florida's DIY scene, their sound fuses traditional hardcore energy with rhythms and lyrical themes rooted in their Cuban-American heritage, as heard on tracks like "Raíces" and "Himnos Mambises." Releases like "P.O.C." and "Faith" showcase their focus on social justice, anti-colonialism, and working-class solidarity, delivered with a mix of English and Spanish vocals. SPINE maintains a fiercely independent ethos, collaborating with grassroots punk labels and regularly touring to support community-driven spaces. Their 2023 live album "Live on Axe to Grind" captures their explosive stage presence and connection to hardcore’s current wave.
