Bottled Violence is a five-piece nois e punk band formed at the Rock City Institute in Eindhoven. During their l ive shows, they transform into an overwhelming wall of raw feedback, fuzz, screamed vocals and pounding drums. Their lyrics often tackle themes such as monarchy, capitalism and human rights. This political engagement has b een evident in their performance at a housing rights protest in Eindhoven and their shows in squats. The band’s influences include Minor Threat, Dea d Kennedys and Sonic Youth.

This year, Warming Up Festival is not a sking how you can live more sustainably. It is asking why so many people, especially young people, have tuned out of a conversation that may affect them more than anyone.

Not out of indifference, but because of menta l exhaustion. Because of climate anxiety and guilt. Because of a system th at places the emphasis on individual responsibility, while the biggest pol luters and fossil fuel subsidies largely remain out of the spotlight. And sometimes also because a climate movement that seems to demand perfection rather than participation.

You can’t save the world alone. Fortunate ly, you don’t have to. Warming Up Festival therefore takes a different app roach: solidarity instead of penance.

For three days, the festival b rings together art, journalism, music and conversation around the question of how individual choices relate to systems that are largely beyond our c ontrol, and where we can actually make a difference as a collective. It is a festival that makes room for imperfection, for doubt and for new forms of engagement.
