Franky and the Slight Incline DCxPC Live Vol. 46

Franky and the Slight Incline live at The Cave, Chapel Hill NC. Raw hardcore punk. Ltd 200 eco mix jade vinyl LP.

Franky and the Slight Incline Live at The Cave captures a sweat-drenched, no-holds-barred hardcore punk performance recorded in Chapel Hill, NC, and preserved exactly as it happened. This is not a cleaned-up studio recreation or a carefully edited live compilation. It is a full-throttle document of a band ripping through a set in real time, strings snapping, vocals cracking, amps buzzing, and the room pushing back just as hard as the stage. DCxPC Live Vol. 46 bottles the chaos straight from the floorboards of The Cave, a venue known for intimacy, volume, and zero separation between band and crowd. Every shout, feedback squeal, and half-controlled breakdown is left intact, honoring the spirit of a scene that values immediacy over perfection. Hailing from Durham, NC, Franky and the Slight Incline deliver old-school hardcore velocity with a sharp sense of humor and a refusal to sand down rough edges. The set swings between absurd and aggressive without losing momentum, channeling classic DIY energy while staying rooted in the present. There is no polish, no safety net, and no attempt to smooth the jagged corners that make live punk matter. The recording captures the physicality of the night: the press of bodies, the shove of the pit, the raw strain in the vocals, and the collective release that only happens when a room locks into the same tempo. Pressed on eco mix jade vinyl and limited to 200 copies, this release is a physical artifact of that moment. DCxPC Live continues its mission to document underground music as it exists in the wild, preserving shows as lived experiences rather than as retroactively perfected products. If you were there, this record is proof of what went down. If you weren't, this is the closest you'll get to standing in that room while the amps hum and the first chord hits.
