There is a lot of disinformation out there. But top of mind has to be the global misconception that punks and metalheads are mean and hate vegetables. If you’ve ever been to Massif or any other local punk and metal shows, you’d be hard pressed to find a friendlier group of misfits. Underneath the black T-shirts and behind the handmade tattoos are caring, supportive and kind folks who just like it a little bit louder than the rest. And they also really do like vegetables!

Where do they go to get their healthy dose of fresh green superfood? Sprout in Nelson, of course! Need proof? Drop into Sprout during the festival and see for yourself. Order some yummy, heathy eats and say hi to some punks! They probably won’t punch you.
