This past weekend, South Florida played host to one of the most historically significant events the hardcore-punk community has witnessed in recent memory. Bands that have spent years dormant, bands that ended with a firm "never again," and bands that have influenced the hardcore scene on an international level convened in Miami for a weekend of flying pigs and reunions.

One look at the action -- from the parking lot reunions, to the mic-dives, and flailing goings on within Churchill's innards -- was enough to show that everyone in the vicinity had been transported to another time. The rigors and stress of life left for a while, and, for three days, the "CBGB of the South" served to unite a scene around its history and its future.
Both days of the event were jam-packed full of current bands, as well as those risen from the ashes for the weekend. As such, our coverage focuses on highlights of both days.
