Record Hospital Fest®

What is a socially concious mosh?

Once a year, station members organize “Record Hospital Fest,” a charity concert featuring local bands. This despite the fact that not all Harvard students may be welcoming to the bands themselves.

Unlike Yardfest, the festival boasts a number of adventurous experimental groups, few of which can be described as safe choices. In the past, the event has been somewhat notorious for its wild acts. In 2003, a performance by one-man noise-rock group Kites took a turn for the bizarre when the artist took a razor to his own chest. The acts have mellowed out in the over two-decades since but the cause is the same.

Since 2000, WHRB has raised over $30,000 for more than a dozen Boston-area charities including Boston Healthcare for the Homeless and the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center.
