What this is
Pizza of Death Records — the Yokohama punk label co-founded by Hi-STANDARD's Kenken Namba — brings its long-running 'Fuck That Shit' showcase series to Nagoya for volume 37,564 (the absurdly high number is a running joke, not a literal count). Expect a sweaty, high-energy punk and hardcore bill featuring COUNTRY YARD, DRADNATS, HONESTKUZIRA, and others on the lineup, all orbiting the Japanese melodic punk underground. This is a label night, not a festival — the crowd will be regulars who know every word.
Who should go
Japanese punk and melodic hardcore fans, especially those already familiar with the Pizza of Death roster. Casual attendees or those new to the scene may find the insider atmosphere a little insular, but the music is accessible if you like fast, loud, and earnest.
Good to know
Tickets are typically sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp; both accept foreign credit cards, and Lawson convenience store pickup (combini) is the most hassle-free option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Club Quattro Nagoya is located on the upper floors of the Parco building in Sakae and holds around 700 standing — it's a compact, intimate venue with good sightlines from the back. The floor gets very crowded and hot for punk shows, so dress light and expect moshing near the front. The venue has a bar and a bag check area; bags larger than A4 are usually required to be checked. Photo and video policies at Pizza of Death events are typically strict — assume no filming unless announced otherwise.
