“Earlier this year, we headed to Outbreak Festival in Manchester to catch up with longtime friends of Iron Heart, Converge.

Hailing from Salem, Massachusetts, Converge has spent the last three decades pushing the boundaries of hardcore punk and extreme metal. Known for their chaotic, abrasive sound and intensely visceral live performances, they’ve become one of the most influential bands to emerge from the hardcore scene, while consistently resisting easy genre labels.

Our relationship with the band stretches back to the early days of Iron Heart Int’l. It was bassist Nate Newton who first discovered the brand, instantly striking up a rapport with co-founder Giles Padmore through their shared love of vintage Levi’s denim. Nate soon introduced vocalist Jacob Bannon, establishing a friendship and mutual respect that remains to this day.|

As the brand has grown, Nate and Jacob have continued to be among our biggest advocates, with Giles once commissioning a signature jacket to Nate’s specifications — the IHJ-101J-BLK “Riffblaster General”. In return, Giles and Paula became huge (if not somewhat unlikely) fans of the band, attending many Converge shows over the years and singing — or should we say screaming — their praises to anyone who would listen.

In the following video, Nate and Jacob recall their introduction to Iron Heart, while discussing a lifelong passion for workwear, the importance of attention to detail, and self-expression through music and fashion. Blood, sweat and raw power — wrapped in Iron Heart denim.”

Selling two tickets to converge in Seattle tonight at El Corazon. DM me if you’re interested! My partner and I are unable to go 😢😢

throwing out a hail mary here to see if anyone has a ticket for the show tonight in seattle. thanks!

I must I am a bit of a new fan, I knew about the band since around 2017 when Dusk in Us came out, but I really dived into their discography this year because I am just really falling in love with heavy music recently.

And I must say I am blown away by how consistent they are and I haven't heard any band that is this consistent for three decades. Every single album since 1996 (which was the year I was born) to 2026 is ranging from very good to fucking amazing. And we are talking about like what, 10 studio albums and 3 collaborations? Not a single miss in this discography (maybe the first one is a bit rough but I can look past that). Every album is full of intensity and passion and in every performance you hear the band giving it their all.

Hey sorry if this isn’t ok to post here, but I didn’t realize my friend already had a ticket when I bought 2. StubHub won’t let me split my tickets, but I’m hoping to roughly get my money back on the extra. I may have to send you the pdf or just meet you at the venue. I swear I’m not a scammer, I’m a normal person with an extra ticket.

That’s it. I had this one a long time ago and put it through the fucking ringer. I can’t imagine they’d bring this one back anytime soon, but if they were to revive an old design, this one gets my vote.

For me, I was a teen watching PunkRockMBA back when he was a thing. He had either a full video or part of a video on Converge. When I heard them I was like "Holy shit this is the heaviest shit ever." So I went and listened to Jane Doe which was sick as fuck! Then I listened to everything else and hated it. It wasn't until somewhat recently I've come to love and appreciate all their releases. I sorta had to grow into it I suppose, and now they're my favorite band.

the title track from jane doe is my absolute favourite converge song and im wondering if theres anything like it, thanks!

Spotted in Melbourne Australia on the corner of Johnston St & Wellington St in Collingwood

Would love to know more about it and if anyone maybe perhaps owns the same shirt willing to sell. Was such a bummer man I hate hostels with a passion now. Wondering if anyone knows what tour it was from or when it released

Im guessing a festival with them headlining playing a Jane Doe set in Melbourne.

Im guessing also a normal tour around this?

Ill go to mlb for the Jane Doe set but being in Newcastle ill also go to Sydney.

Post here any updates.

Let's go.

The match converge sampled on The Poacher Diaries.

Its a strange juxtaposition of emotions. Flare winning with the sadness of the Minnesota opening. Unbelievable track imo, and just wanted to share the love on it.

This is kinda crazy. Mostly pop, EDM, and other more chill music. And then... Converge lol. I love it. So cool. They just really stick out on the list.

Jesu also. Would love to see both of them and a few others like Phoebe Bridgers. But as an east coast american, this would probably be 10k+ for travel, tickets, hotel etc. But it looks so cool.

I know it isn't...but I can't not see it...

Who’ll be joining?

for the life of me I can’t figure out what Kurt’s doing for that tapping part. If someone has it tabbed out or can verbally explain what to do that would be awesome.

I think this may be kinda sad, and hilarious...

all I can think of is Concubine, The Broken Vow, the "I want out" part on Jane Doe title track. What else?
