For my money, BTGOG was one of the most intense and passionate bands ever. They've recently started to play shows again (and will be on tour in europe this summer. To mark the occasion, their last songs are finally available on vinyl. They're the best thing they've ever done, and I'm very happy that I can finally retire my well-worn CD copy. Get this.

Musically, By The Grace Of God crosses all lines between melodic and downright aggressive punk/hardcore. Their first EP, "For The Love Of Indie Rock," was incredibly well-received. With songs that ranged from political and emotional to the importance of fun in the punk scene, they conveyed an overwhelming positivity and a push for unity that the punk/hardcore scene hasn't been addressing for a long time. Now available again on colored vinyl.

Four veterans of the hardcore scene have come together to form Bystander. Featuring members of Trial, Spirits, Decline, Expired Youth, Test Of Time, Between The Earth And Sky, and more, Bystander is a modern take on classic, youth-crew hardcore. Introspective and thoughtful lyrics set over guitar-heavy rhythms coupled with unique art and packaging set this release far beyond the average 7" EP of the genre. Colored vinyl while stocks last.

In 2018, four individuals came together to juxtapose a modern age of hardcore that had become heavy and metallic. Featuring Greg Bennick of Trial and current and former members of Spirits, Test Of Time, and Decline, Bystander has their sights set on becoming a positive force of change in the hardcore scene. They hope to leave the breakdowns behind, as they set forth with open minds for the future. On colored vinyl.

Second release from these Montreal punkers! CCSS was originally the side project of Steve and Sam from Inepsy. They decided to dedicate their inspiration to late seventies/early eighties punk rock. They toured with Born/Dead in 2005 and soon after, they became a full time band. CCSS reminds me of early UK punk ala One way System/GBH mixed up with Americans like Crucifix/The Germs/Dead Boys. This band's the most original thing to come out of the crust punk scene in recent years… This new ep includes three super catchy songs + a very good version of 'Dicks hate the police'.

Grab your skateboard and get ready to thrash! Rat Byte are back this time with friends C.F.L in tow. You get 4 blazing skatecore songs from Rat Byte and 5 from C.F.L. Both bands play good old fashioned hardcore like it was 82 all over again. Fans of bands like ANS, SBV, Tear It Up, Bones Brigade etc. take note and pick it up!!

C.O.P. is a young '80s style hardcore group who are based out of Riverside California. Classic nardcore at its finest, raw, rude, and overflowing with a bad attitude. Their sound is compared to old Mystic hardcore groups such as STALAG 13, R.K.L., and ILL REPUTE. This is very good, high quality hardcore.

The Rockville, CT, quartet initially met through their town's tight-knit noisecore scene, but they didn't join forces until 1994. Seeking an outlet for unencumbered expression devoid of punk's macho trappings, Cable became one of New England's most sensational underground bands, celebrated for their synthesis of complex rhythms and metal-influenced methodology. A fiery confluence of noise, hardcore, and emo, the recordings from Cable's inaugural year are teeming with a chutzpah that has only emboldened with time. 12"ep includes digital download and a blank B-side. Limited edition of 500 copies on colored vinyl.

Emotional hardcore, a sure winner. Beautiful packaging too.

Arisen from the ashes of To Ashes – a new vegan edge metal super group!
True 90’s style metal(core) with thoughtful and provoking lyrics.
FFO: Purification, Arkangel, To Ashes, …

Debut seven-track EP of knuckle-dragging, no nonsense, ignorant, moshable, fast HC here from this new-ish Bay Area band. There's not one ounce of originality in these grooves, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Described as "SSD covering Madball." Intro by currently-blowing-up Bay Area rapper Antwon and DJ Eons One (aka Dan Lactose of Spazz).

Olympia's Cairo Pythian has long been a hidden master of depraved synth pop and his new LP, Touched is his masterpiece. Swimming in New Wave, Industrial, and even heavy, pulpy Britpop influences, Cairo emerges from the murky depths of early Human League as a violently heterosexual Soft Cell.
To be blunt, this LP is probably the most excited I've been with a new Katorga Works release in a long time and it's an authentic portal to a time we all wished we had experienced. Get touched.
Note: You may have noticed that this is an expensive record, which is due to the high quality mastering and cutting from Golden Mastering, as well as the very limited nature of the pressing. As a result, we must sell this at its current price to break even. Apologies for the hurt this may cause your wallet, but it will be well worth it.

alculator use a sound that features mathy riffs and a jazzy tint, embracing the passion of '90s screamo while making it their own. They recorded these three songs with Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden and have toured with US with The Saddest Landscape and Prawn. On colored vinyl.

The final Call To Preserve release is a limited edition 7" featuring the band's final four songs ever released and supported with their final tour alongside Dead Icons and Dynasty (Strike First Records). For fans of Terror, Sick Of It All and Madball. 7" includes digital download and is limited to 500 copies on colored vinyl.

Youngsters from Buffalo, NY playing full speed hardcore with a taste for early Dischord. 10 raging tracks of fast & pissed-off hardcore/punk influenced by Minor Threat, Teen Idles, Youth Brigade and modern bands like ExTxA. Great record!

Can't Relate was a hardcore band formed in the Summer of 2007. They didn't have merch, social media or a demo recorded before their first show; in fact, they were probably the only hardcore band in Australia at the time. Between October 2007 and November 2008, they spent more time playing shows and practicing then they did editing their myspace layout and promoting the band on the internet. The band was an outlet for everything wrong with hardcore and society at the time, and still is today. If you like Floorpunch, Right Brigade, Mental, Stop and Think, Chain of Strength or Carry On you will definitely dig this. These tracks were released by the band in 2008 and are now finally available on limited edition vinyl.

The long anticipated first full-length by one of ChicagoÂ’s best DIY punk bands. Like a new pandemic flu strain, this record drives the melody though the darkness by killing you with amazingly catchy songs ripe with bluntness and sarcasm. Great song writing drives each song after song making this record more of an addiction than a cure. Tracks like 'Multiply', 'Swallow the Landfill', and 'Live Infected' capture a passionate mixture of brash vocals (reminiscent of Leatherface or early Jawbreaker) interlaced perfectly with bleak melodies and urgent drums. 10 songs in and nothing ever lets upÂ… just try to find a more compelling record to own.

Taking influences from the likes of Integrity and Burning Spirit-era Japanese hardcore, Candy creates a sound that is a combination not often heard or even attempted to be emulated in 2017 and is comprised of former members of Malfunction, Lost Souls, and current members of Backtrack. 7" includes digital download.

Candy has once again teamed up with Triple-B Records for their most fantastical and sinister release yet. Keeping in line with the artistic dualities of pleasure and pain, fact and fiction, peace and violence, their debut full-length, "Good To Feel," delivers nine songs of their most ambitious and focused material to date. Aligning with the esteemed engineer and producer Arthur Rizk, Candy has finally achieved the type of artistry that transcends the confines of its own medium. On colored vinyl.

Candy celebrates their signing to Relapse Records with the release of "Super-Stare." "Super-Stare" is a synthesis of where aggressive music should be. Hardcore has reached a crossroads with metal, a place where lyrical discourse and impassioned screaming is as important as the memorable riffs and pounding rhythms highlighting Candy's music. 7" includes digital download. On colored vinyl.

Candy Hearts is the project of Mariel Loveland, Christian Migliorese, Kris Hayes and Christina Picciano. Loveland's introspective lyrics create a portrait of youth for all that it is - carefree, innocent and fun, yet uncertain, lonely, ambivalent and pissed off. The "Best Ways To Disappear" is produced by Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory (A Day To Remember, Fireworks), recorded with Paul Miner (New Found Glory, H2O) and is the best collection of songs the band has ever recorded and the first release on Chad Gilbert's own Violently Happy Records. Now available on colored vinyl. Vinyl version includes digital download.

Cannonball play fast, aggressive, pissed off punk that spans the gamut of influences from the CRO-MAGS to TEAR IT UP. Five furious songs with some nice chorus parts. This Means War play fast and heavy hardcore with ex-members of 97A, BORN AGAINST and CITIZEN'S ARREST. Three powerful tracks that leave me wanting more. Some copies on colored vinyl. 2nd hand

Cannoneer release their debut-12" on Rising Riot Records. This young band from an unknown town close to dortmund plays some melodic but bitter hardcore-punk. Ask me an I would place these guys between Strike Anywhere and Just Went Black. With all these melodies and arrangements, somehow Cannoneer are strangers in the Rising Riot rooster, but what the fuck, I simply love these sad but strong songs, the desperate singers voice and everything else. There are six songs on the a-side and a beautiful etching on the b-side.
