Different name, different packaging job, this CD comes with three more songs than the 'High On Barbeque' 12inch. The booklet is filled with full color pictures, but lyrics are missing. I don't get this.
Now available on vinyl! Fronted by former Undertow singer John Pettibone and featuring members from Trial and Catharsis, Seattle, WA's heaviest quintet deliver yet another disturbing dose of technical hardcore trash mayhem. This slick looking picture disc is limited to six hundred sixty six hand numbered copies.
Formed in late 2002, this Orange County based quartet play hardcore; fast and raw, plain and simple. Hardcore the way it should be played, for the people in the pit and the guys on the stage. No fashion, no fads, no bullshit drama, just straight up hardcore.
Hailing from the sweltering wasteland of Texas, Far From Breaking offers up six songs of straight edge hardcore that rivals the energy of bands like Chain Of Strength and Youth Of Today. They're outspoken and passionate about living their live drug-free. This records may induce circlepits and fingerpointing. Mosh ist up and sing along!
The amazing debut full length by one of New Jersey's finest hardcore punk bands. This is unlike anything you've ever heard! They combine elements of hardcore, punk, thrash, reggae, surf, and crossover in a hybrid of social, political, and personal fury. Truly fucking amazing and inspirational!
6 song demo of old school hardcore that does not disappoint. They've turned some heads already, so expect a vinyl release soon enough. Passionate and fiercely dedicated, don't miss this chance to check them out now.
A good blend of traditional hardcore with some of the modern (not emo) hardcore sound. Choppy and erratic tempos, thick guitar, and urgent vocals. Melodic and with a definite DC influence (second generation of bands), this not your typical LA release, but I really like this a lot. Reminds me of HATED at times. Give this a try.
These are the last copies of the Self Defense debut record. Ten song trash mayhem that put these guys on the map. Lyrics worth reading, awesome packaging and colored vinyl should put this on your list if you don't already own it. Essential.
Four new and completely raw n' relentless blasts of hardcore as the way it should be: fast, positive, and hard. The powerful production packs an extra punch and firmly establishes Reaching Forward as one of europe's premier straight edge acts.
Featuring their best two tracks from their 2nd demo, Rammer play thrash metal comparable to At The Gates. Amazing musicianship, sick throaty vocals and top notch production. Beautifully packaged in a Japanese theme similar to some of the old layouts by Canadian Metal label Banzai. The new line up for this Toronto based band features ex-members of the legendary Uranus, Chokehold and Left For Dead. Limited to 500 copies.
Now available on vinyl! The sophomore release from Oxnard's favorite sons. Traditional hardcore that's able to separate itself from the rest of the pack with the perfect blend of breakdowns, sing-alongs, and ballads. Unforgiving and uncompromised hardcore tha´t is not afraid to hit where it hurts. Moshparts abound, without making this some dumb metal release. The power and energy of IN CONTROL will make sure of that. Colored vinyl available.
A very limited release from two dead Seattle SXE bands. The Entropy Project were made up of dudes from Stay Gold and Hardesty who called it quits in 2002. Screwjack, from 1999(once known as LIT before the name had to be changed), are made up of men from State Route 522 and nineironspitfire with Dave Larson from Excursion on vocals. Limited to 400 numbered copies.
Split release between these two Philadelphia based, over-the-top skatecore groups. Tornado Of Knives feature ex-members of Atari and play fast, aggressive punk that's the perfect soundtrack to both circle pits and pool sessions. Allentown, PA's Carpenter Ant tear it up in a similar fashion, and have been known to sport pads on stage and destroy all offending skate decks in the vicinity.
Limited to just 500 copies, Carpenter And and Race To Die skate & destroy with enough bad attitude to make any mofo cringe. Fast trash/ skatecore that makes you want to go out and skate. Race To Die are definitely to watch out for. Including a cover version of the classic 'Posessed To Skate
This New England based group will appeal to fans of Tragedy or early Rorschach with their aggressive blend of hardcore mixed with elements of thrash and grind. Raging, intelligent metal/ hardcore/ grind crossover from the northeast. BSI are inarguably New Englands most dangerous band. Drawing a line across the darkest chasms of hardcore and metal, this band stands on their own.
A new offering of fast and vicious hardcore from the DC area. MOY do 5 fast and catchy ones in the tradition of DC'sYouth Brigade and The Faith. Shitfit (featuring current and ex members of Striking Distance, Brace and Stop and Think) offer 6 blasts of atonal noise with some similarities to Void and Siege.
Fast and pissed hardcore along the lines of Left For Dead, Born Against, and Los Crudos. Angry and in your face, they're in love with the word 'fuck'. Hardcore with some moshparts and awelcome punk influence. Features members of Eighteen Visions, Bleeding Through, and Enetwetak. Nine songs total.
Eight song debut from this cali powerhouse. Negative and pissed, Cold Shoulder are not out to take prisoners. Blazing hardcore, lyrically covering the whole spectrum of hardcore topics. Backstabbing, the hardcore family, losing friends, getting dragged down by everyday life and still living with pride. Good old hardcore, the way I like it.
'A Tribute To BLACK FLAG' features a bunch of bands covering tunes from what is arguably one of the most influential punk bands ever. AMERICAN NIGHTMARE (Depression), COALESCE (Jealous Again), CONVERGE (Annihilate This Week), DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN (Depression I+II), HOPE CONSPIRACY (Nervous Breakdown), PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS (Police Story, Gimme Gimme Gimme) and PLAYING ENEMY (Six Pack) are some of the bands paying tribute. Limited edition of 500 copies on colored vinyl.
It took them months to arrive, but the new (and probably last) LLR record is finally here. Wrapped in a wicked looking cover by Jason Powell, LLR deliver three hardcore anthems framed by samples from 'Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back', which is a plus in my book. They wouldn't need it, 'cause their side of the split definitely rocks. The INFAMOUS hold their own in the flip side with five songs of hardcore fury. Mosh and jump around to 'Dead Kids' and be happy that hardcore ist still alive.
The debut that started it all. We've released their LP, so you know this has to be good. This sounds even more like later LIFETIME/ KID DYNAMITE. Eight songs that cover a variety of topics including 'Operation Rescue Is Going Straight To Hell', which is one of the best pro-choice songs I've ever heard and probably my favourite DISASTER track. This records fucking rules!
Formed around Bill Henderson (of THURSDAY and PURPOSE fame) the debut release of The PROCEDURE mixes different styles to something new. The songs may conjure thoughts that range from the technicality of bands like SHAI HULUD and CAVE IN, the addictive sing alongs of bands like ENSIGN and HOPE CONSPIRACY, and the haunting melodies of bands like SENSEFIELD and Thursday. Limited to 500 copies only, you better act quick 'cause the label is already sold out.
What is is about the name Payback and hand drawn covers (the old Payback) or logos (the new Payback)? As tough and heavy as they sound, the label logo cracks me up! The cover sports some cool looking old school tattoo artwork (skulls, spiderwebs and a straight razor), the music is heavy hardcore with song titles like 'Death To The False' 'Pay With Your Life', you better not stand in their way! Mosh it up and sing along to 'Fuck Issues: 'I hate everything you stand for and I say fuck your issues and fuck you too'. Word up. Turn to the logo for comic relief.
