2nd EP by this vicious hardcore band from Atlanta, Georgia, and while the Bukkake Boys call their hometown the 'City of Pop' you won't find any of that here. If you heard Bukkake Boys' self-released first EP, Splendid Thoughts, then you're already a fan. If not, prepare yourself for some of the most violent and aggressive hardcore you've heard in a long time. This one is all frantic riffs, vocals that sound like they're going to eat you alive, and one of the meanest-sounding drummers out there. 7 songs and not a second wasted.

With 2012 comes a new release from hardcore punk's most unconventional act, Bullet Treatment. "Designated Vol. 2" hits vinyl-friendly stores and digital retailers on May 15th. Vocalists include Andrew and Scott from Comeback Kid, Jordan from Vultures United, Ryan and Billy from Outbreak, Liam from Cancer Bats, Matt from The Bronx and Nuno from A Wilhelm Scream. 7" includes digital download and is limited to 500 copies. On colored vinyl.

Orange County is well known for its eyeliner-wearing scene and flavor of the week trends, with kids who don't know punk rock exists outside their local Hot Topic. Bullet Treatment is here to give these kids a history lesson. Like every true hardcore/punk band, Bullet Treatment play by their own rules, but it's safe to say they have a formula unlike any other. Lineup for this release consists of Matt Caughthran on vocals (from The Bronx), founder and sole song writer D.C. on guitar, and brothers Vince and Dave Hidalgo (who has taken part in various bands including Suicidal Tendencies) on bass and drums. On colored vinyl.

The members of Bunny Skulls have been playing hardcore punk for 20 years and have managed to squeeze 18 songs onto one EP, paying tribute to bands of the early-'80s, mixing the speed and fury of bands like Negative FX, Necros and DRI into one hyper-speed package with a recording that sounds like it's from that time period.

The debut full length from Vancouver, Canada's SXE hardcore powerhouse. Nine songs of fast, heavy, energetic hardcore on par with Judge, Trial, Strain, Ensign, Undertow and Floorpunch. Mucho breakdowns and singalongs. Recorded and produced by Blair Calibaba (Strain, Trial, By A Thread, Champion, Sum 41, Gob).

Debut 7” by Boston/Cape Cod's BURDEN, featuring four tracks that mix classic Oi! sounds with the power of late 80’s NYHC. Initially started as a one-man project, this is the first recording featuring the full lineup comprised of members of Waste Management, Revilers and MFP. Limited to 500 copies on black vinyl.

Coming off of a strong LP, Perth, Australia's Blkout feature members of Miles Away and keep walking on the heavy side, bringing to mind later bands like Terror and Cold World as well as classic NYHC bands Breakdown and Madball. 7" includes digital download. On colored vinyl.

This 7" features the two-song demo tape, an alternate version of "Watching You Die" and an unreleased, exclusive song from the demo recording "How Much More."

The follow up to various 7"s as well as 1999s "Death Of Your Perfect World" (also on Victory Records), this is full of sonic audio assaults of sheer brutality. Heavy New York hardcore topped off with a rash of chaotic vocal beatings. Nine songs followed by five live bonus tracks. Now available again on colored vinyl.

Pure, raw hardcore. The inspiration to many, many bands. Featuring Chaka, who later formed Orange 9mm, Gavin from Absolution and Alan from Beyond and Quicksand. New pressing now available on translucent blue vinyl.

Formed by Gavin Van Vlack (ABSOLUTION, DIE 116, PRY), Alan Cage (BEYOND, QUICKSAND), Alex Napack (PRESSURE RELEASE), and friend Chaka Harris (ORANGE 9MM), BURN set out to create something different than the preexisting sound of late-80s New York hardcore. Shortly before the initial breakup of BURN in 1992, the band recorded three songs that went unreleased for a decade. The recordings were highly sought after by fans, and tenth generation dubs circulated the underground scene for years until in 2002 Revelation Records released them on vinyl. Now, after being out of print for many years, Last Great Sea is finally available again.

The first studio recordings from these New York hardcore legends since 2001's "Cleanse," Burn returns with three new tracks on "...From the Ashes," continuing to drive the paradigm of the style whose boundaries they initially pushed with their classic, self-titled EP in 1990. The progressive and introspective sound cultivated by original members Chaka Malik on vocals and Gavin Van Vlack on guitar is back, and is now rounded out by ex-Glassjaw rhythm section Manuel Carrero and Durijah Lang, who add fresh groove to the band's renewed onslaught. For fans of Cro-Mags, Inside Out, Absolution and Glassjaw. 7" includes digital download. On colored vinyl.

"Do Or Die" is the highly anticipated new album from Burn. The album was engineered by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at GodCity Studio and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Slayer, Public Enemy, Sonic Youth). An invigorating modernization and continuation down the path these visionaries forged alone two decades earlier. Vinyl version includes digital download.

Burn Your Life Down's debut is none other than a perfect example of human dysfunction meets unorthodox musical scoring. Taking notes from head cases like Kiss It Goodbye and Bloodlet, BYLD takes that school of thought and cultivates a hardened edge all their own. Heavy grooves intertwine with bouncy riffs, all coupled with deranged vocal patterns that paint inkblots that ask, "What does this look like to you?" 12"ep includes digital download.

Although some define hardcore as a specific sound, most believe it's more than that: a set of varying ideas, ethics, principles, attitudes and, yes, music, that converge to form a community. 'Burning Fight: The Nineties Hardcore Revolution In Ethics, Politics, Spirit, And Sound' by Brian Peterson provides some answers, but also brings up a whole new set of questions for those who've been drawn to the scene's political, social, ethical and spiritual ideas amidst the screamed vocals and abrasive chords. 'Burning Fight' features commentary from approximately 150 participants from the nineties hardcore scene as well as oral history articles about straight edge, politics, vegetarianism and interviews with a variety of influential bands such as: Avail, Burn, Earth Crisis, Inside Out, Integrity, Los Crudos, Spitboy, Strife, Texas Is The Reason, Unbroken and more. 503 pages. Essential.

Serving as a precursor to their Southern Lord debut to be delivered in 2012, this 7" features two tracks of rock 'n' roll-inspired hardcore punk from this Toronto, Canada crew who feature Chris Colohan of Cursed, The Swarm, and Left For Dead on vocals. 7" includes digital download. On colored vinyl.

Chris Colohan (Cursed, The Swarm, Left For Dead, Ruination) and co. are back with a single featuring "Don't Ever Change" from an upcoming full-length on the A-side and a cover of Nick Cave's "Jack The Ripper" on the B-side. Burning Love is definitely more punk than Cursed, but still rooted in doom/stoner metallic hardcore.

This EP is the first vinyl offering from Toronto, Canada's Burning Love, featuring Chris Colohan (Cursed, Left For Dead, Ruination) on vocals. Originally released as a limited cassette demo in 2009, now available on vinyl. Burning Love is definitely more punk than Cursed but still rooted stoner/doomy metal hardcore. The recording features four originals and one Battalion Of Saints cover.

"Rotten Thing To Say" is the second full-length from Torontonians Burning Love, who feature the illustrious Chris Colohan of Cursed, The Swarm and Left For Dead on vocal duties spewing forth his witty, sarcastic and intelligent lyrics over rock 'n' roll-inspired hardcore punk that merges the darkness of Poison Idea, the melodic aspects of Queens Of The Stone Age and the inspired high energy of MC5. Now available on vinyl.

Burning Love is an unapologetic punk band from Toronto, Canada fronted by vocalist/lyricist Chris Colohan (Cursed, Left For Dead, Ruination, etc.). Burning Love's approach is more nuanced than Colohan's previous bands, mixing raw melody and swagger (akin to Laughing Hyenas, Poison Idea, etc.) into their hardcore blood. "Down So Long" b/w "Medicine Man" is a two-song banger of an EP, recorded by Josh Korody at Candle in Toronto (Fucked Up, etc.). 7" includes digital download. On colored vinyl.

Scattered across the east coast, BURST OF RAGE is a new, young hardcore band that hails from DC, CT, NY, and MA. Paying homage to the Anthrax bands of the late 80s, they come correct with their debut 7-song demo of tunes inspired by the "X Marks The Spot" compilation 7".

15 song LP from the Memphis kings of fast and hard. Similiar in vein to Tennesse alumni Deathreat, No Parade, and Cop Out this LP is the equivalent of a very well spoken kick to the crotch. If you like old greats like Negative FX and Poison Idea you'll dig on this. Did I mention this is fucking fast?

Tough bare knuckle hardcore with tough intent, charging guitars lead speeding blast beats to heavy SXE-styled breakdowns and choruses while hoarse shouting vocals resonate full bore, double barrel, no holds barred political lyrics. Straight forward in overall attack, Memphis, Tennessee's BURY THE LIVING's second full Length LP's 21 tracks are filled with enough dark twists, experimentation and pulling from diverse influences within the Hardcore formula- from blast beat Mid '90's hardcore to SXE hardcore to late '80's experimentation with rock formulas within the hardcore format to fit well as their Prank debut. I really dig this, awesome record!

Current darlings of the Bay Area hardcore scene and sporting chaps who already show up on the Warthog Speak roster in such class acts as Permanent Ruin, Stressors and Scalped, Busted Outlook is made up of dudes that have more than likely booked a show for your band if you've played in the Bay Area at any point over the last five years. Locked in the grooves of this record is some of the tightest, spirit-lifting, metallic hardcore this side of '88. Riffs galore. Divebombs, breakdowns, dope solos and good vibes to help you ride through summer 2015.

By A Thread has written and recorded some of the most dynamic and influential post-hardcore/rock ever to come out of the Pacific Northwest. Drawing on their experience in the hardcore band Strain, the four members of By A Thread create multi-layered, emotional music fueled by the power and desperation of the human experience. The album's tracks are as expressive, evocative and memorable as the band's debut, but reveal a maturity in songwriting and approach that has developed in the decade since that first release. Now available on colored vinyl. Vinyl version includes digital download.
