get rad unleashes a brand new EP containing five raging tracks that pick up right where their debut LP left off. Absolutely kick-ass hardcore with a positive message and energy that doesn't take itself too seriously. Featuring good dudes from former bands like Kung Fu Rick, Since By Man and Seven Days Of Samsara. 2nd hand

THE GUILT SHOW is a new band out of Italy and feature former members of THE SECRET, IVORY CAGE etc.. They're playing their old-school hardcore in a modern way - fast, furious and loud. 4 songs of friendship, hope, and searching for destiny in a world that pushes back at every step. They're sick and tired of trendy haircuts, sick of fashionable tattoos, sick of bullshit lyrics- and the list goes on. The only thing they're care about is playing hardcore as it should be played. Artwork is done by Derek Hess. Limited edition of 500 copies on white colored vinyl! 2nd hand

These two bands are young but play like hardcore vetrens. Lead By Example play a Posi hardcore style with the same feel as Tear it Up, Cut the Shit and American Nightmare. Gung Ho have the Youth Crew revival, bull by the horns with an 80's D.C. brand of fast, possitive and pissed hardcore. On GREEN SPLATTER VINYL!!! 2nd hand

This split teams up two of the younger bands in today's hardcore scene. Make Or Break represent Florida and previous to this split released an EP of old-school moshy fun on Get Outta Town. Haunted Life are from Chicago and are a five-piece playing more epic hardcore like Bane or Modern Life Is War. Now available on colored vinyl! 2nd hand

Hailing from Rochester, NY and containing former members of Buried Alive, Polar Bear Club and Roses Are Red, Heavy Hearted bring a fast, yet tough approach to their sound, following up speed with pounding mosh parts, bringing to mind the earlier Terror recordings, Blacklisted and Have Heart. What you get is four tracks of blistering hardcore with the occasional melodic moment. Fans of This is Hell and Killing the Dream should investigate this band. Clear yellow vinyl, 2nd hand

This is hardcore punk stripped down to its bare bones- brief yet memorable songs with smart, simple structure and bleak lyrics. Burly bass sound on this, too- very fitting to the lumbering breaks in certain songs. And I am not exaggerating regarding the lyrics. Judging by what's on the sheet here, their singer shouldn't be allowed to have shoelaces, let alone be mingling with the public. No cheesy Outbreak fakery, bullshit poetry or heartbreak- this is raw, twisted hatred. I guess living in a college town like New Brunswick will do that for you. If you missed out on Tear It Up and Shark Attack, here's your chance to see a bastard son mix of those sounds in action. First pressing 500 on clear vinyl. 2nd hand

This outfit from the city of Amsterdam has a sound of their own, it is old school hardcore but with some unique modern influences and a lot of melodic parts. If you insist on a comparison: Bane, As Friends Rust, old Ignite and some of the Rivalry bands come to mind. Four songs on colored vinyl. 2nd hand

Nashville, TN's Hollywood exhibit catchy songwriting, mixing intense, fast hardcore with the rock and roll stylings of Refused, Black Flag and Suicide File inside of six tracks on this, their second EP. 2007 has seen the boys touring the Midwest with bands like Ruiner and Die Young, now it's time to step up. 2nd hand

The next-to-last record in the series! Limited to 1,000! On PURPLE vinyl with Die-Cut covers! Recorded live at the Metro in Chicago, IL in February 2008. Songs: Just Don't Say You Lost It, I Was On a Mountain, & Moonpies For Misfits.

This is the debut release from a new band from Rochester, NY. Featuring memebers from the underrated DISASTER, these six songs have a similar sense of urgency and intensity. Melodic and passionate, you'll realize soon that this is not just another hardcore band, but a way for these kids to express themselves. This means a lot to them and it shows. Naturally, I'm impressed (and can't wait for their full length to hit). 2nd hand

Melding the styles of hardcore, punk, metal, and crust. In Defence has been an underground favorite since 2006. Witty and satirical, Serious and political, In Defence will have you banging your head and raising your fist. 2nd hand

The new EP from IN DESPERATION should appeal to a diverse audience of listeners. Although relatively young, they have developed a name for tehmselves by keeping their brand of Hardcore full of passion and energy. Their music is edgy and aggressive, but still catchy as hell. Wether you like to bust some heads in the moshpit or just looking for a listening enjoyment, don't sleep on these kids. Right now I have copies of the tour version of their new EP. They'll be replaced by the regular version once they're gone. 2nd hand

These guys grew up in a small town outside of Sacramento. Influenced by avariety of bands from From Born Against and Ashes Rise to Modern Life is War, they've managed to record an impressive debut release. Describing themselves as a melodic hardcore band, but with a darker lyrical approach isa pretty accurate description. Featuring members and Ex-members of Madhouse Disciples, Trash Talk and Dance for Destruction. Definitely check this out if you're down with 'modern hardcore'. 2nd hand

Rain City, Vancouver BC's In Stride present their debut EP for Bottled Up Records, a seven track straight edge hardcore onslaught that's fast and tight, with plenty of slowed down mosh beats and stagedive opportunities, sounding a bit like an updated Floorpunch mixed with current contemporaries like Outbreak and Down To Nothing. On colored vinyl. 2nd hand

After releasing their stellar (and critically acclaimed) self-titled full length in 2005, Internal Affairs returns with 'Deadly Visions,' a collection of songs that shows they still have what it takes to continue to be at the top of the best bands currently residing in Southern California. 'Deadly Visions' shows no signs of the band slowing down, taking their lightning- fast yet impressively hard sound and mixing it with Corey Williams' patented 'fuck yeah' lyrics. Recorded at Blood Tracks (with Nick Jett from Terror) and mixed by Paul Miner.
Limited prerelease cover, yellow vinyl.

Honest, straight up, youthful and angry hardcore with no frills and
nothing to hide. These 5 songs are HARD and will get you moshing, guaranteed.
They are hardcore in the vein of Right Brigade, Chorus & Striking
Distance. If you like your hardcore genuine, this is for you.

The Heavyweight includes 4 tracks full of energy, rawness and aggression. Angry and fast tracks in the vein of Terror meets No Warning meets American Nightmare. On white vinyl.

Hated by many, loved by few, and not even respected by themselves, Let Down has blazed a warpath across the United States by proving themselves to be too fast for the hardcore kids, yet too mosh oriented and straight edge for the punks. They have left a trail of blood (mostly their own) across both coasts and managed to alienate literally thousands of people over the last three years. Let Down's third EP (and Six Feet Under debut), may be their best work to date, but it is in no way a step forward in maturity. There is no hint of post hardcore on this four song raper, just a wanton blend of their original sound with more influence from '81 Boston and '91 Cleveland. Still existing on their own terms and playing by their own rules, Let Down may be the final hope for Straight Edge hardcore in 2007. On colored vinyl. 2nd hand

No holds barred hardcore in the same vein as thrashers like Panic, Cut The Shit and SSD. Pissed off. Angry. Straight Edge. Silkscreened Cover, colored vinyl. 2nd hand

Two of the Bay Area's hardest hitters have come together, bringing 3 songs each of their own powerful, moshable hardcore to colored vinyl.

LHP's latest ouput . Lighthouse Project definitely grow with each release. Blacker, doomier, heavier Lighthouse Project. Great! Don't miss it, they have a really unique sound going on. Includes a classic Finnish hardcore cover song by Terveet Kädet. Comes with a digital download. On green vinyl. 2nd hand

From the birthplace of hardcore, DC's LION OF JUDAH prove they owe just as much to I Against I - era BAD BRAINS as they do to early FUGAZI. Formed in late 2004, LION OF JUDAH delivers their musically and lyrically thought-provoking debut EP Soul Power. Sticking to their DC roots of musical creativity and political aesthetics, LION OF JUDAH shines amongst the sea of mindless and boring modern hardcore acts. With extensive tour plans after the EP's release, LION OF JUDAH will most certainly turn heads and open the eyes of the average hardcore fan in 2005. 2nd hand.
