Debut EP: Respect OUT NOW!!!

FistfightHXC is a Canadian hardcore band renowned for their fierce sound, unrelenting energy, and a message that hits as hard as their music. Formed by five individuals from diverse backgrounds, the band is a powerful testament to the strength found in unity, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of personal growth. Their combined experiences create a dynamic mix of influences, perspectives, and intensity that sets them apart in the hardcore scene.​​

​

Musically, FistfightHXC blends hardcore, metal, and punk into an intense, high-energy soundscape. Their songs tackle themes of self-discovery, resilience, and overcoming adversity, translating personal experiences into a universal message of empowerment. Every track is charged with raw emotion and an authenticity that resonates with listeners, reminding them that the fight for growth and self-realization is never easy—but always worth it.

Live, FistfightHXC is a force of nature. Their shows are more than concerts—they are cathartic experiences, fueled by passion, energy, and the unshakable belief that music can transform. On stage, the band pours everything into each performance, creating an electric atmosphere that embodies both the struggle and triumph inherent in life’s journey.

​

The lineup features David Ojeda (guitar), Abimael Crooc (guitar), Alan Guevara Garcia (drums), Donald Pinay (bass), and Patrick Cross (vocals). Among them are three members with immigrant backgrounds—two of Filipino descent and one of Mexican descent—one from the First Nations community, and one of European descent. This diversity informs their sound, bringing layers of personal struggle, triumph, and perspective into every riff, beat, and lyric. FistfightHXC’s music is a reflection of who they are: a band forged from different journeys, united by a shared drive to create something meaningful.

​

For FistfightHXC, hardcore is not just a genre—it is a vehicle for transformation. Their music celebrates strength, resilience, and the collective power of perseverance, offering a message that goes beyond entertainment to touch something deeper. Every song, every breakdown, every scream is a reminder that no matter how hard the fight, rising above challenges is possible—and that fighting together makes the journey stronger.
