Face The Pain: Tied Down 2025

Face The Pain is what some may call a hardcore super group, and it shows. They are straight edge hardcore at its finest. With members from hardcore heavy hitters like Trapped Under Ice, Never Ending Game, Gridiron, Scarab, and Magnitude, Face The Pain will have the new jacks and old heads two-stepping like absolute maniacs early in the day. They released their debut demo on Rebirth Records titled “Demo ‘24” consisting of five tracks that have absolutely zero fat to trim.

Face The Pain will be playing Tied Down Detroit for the first time as a unit, but none of these members are new to this fest or this stage. These are hardcore veterans and they bring headliner energy. I feel bad for anyone who isn’t at the fest in time for their set.

They also have a 12” EP coming this summer (2025) on Youngblood Records, so keep your eyes out for that!
