After their awesome demo tape here's finally the equally rad first
vinyl. Members and ex members of Sniffing Glue and Italian Stallion
render homage to the famous, great German Punk bands of the 80's. Harsh
and powerful to the max but nonetheless with catchy melodies topped with
great angry lyrics - this is top notch Hardcore Punk!!!
After being sold-out in 2011 this 1st 7" got re-released by the fine folks of Twisted Chords. ABFUKK are from Wegberg, Germany which members of SNIFFING GLUE and THE ITALIAN STALLION. "keine kompromisse mehr" deliver 4 songs of german hardcore-punk with nihilistic and angry lyrics in the vein of HAMMERHEAD.
This is the second album from german punks ABFUKK, who share members with SNIFFING GLUE. twelve new tracks of intelligent german punk from five dudes who aren't into beer, which makes them somewhat of an anomaly amongst punks. Fortunately, they are just as pissed confrontational and raging as before, making this an impressive release that transcends your standard german punk record.
Round three in a series of four split 7"EPs by Empowerment with four bands [Abfukk, AYS, Krank, Abfukk, Henry Fonda] on four different record labels [Assault, Take It Back, Prügelprinz, Cobra]. Each side of each release features one original and one cover version of a German punk classic. The four record sleeves in the series can be put together to make for one big piece of art.<span>This time around it's the punks from ABFUKK vs. the EPM collective. The new tracks from each band are killer, but we're especially stoked on EPM covering Assault Records alumni M.O.T.U. Get this now!Colored vinyl while stocks last.</span>

Blistering fast hardcore isn't new to London, Ontario's About To Snap, who follow up their demo with these nine tracks.

This record is a high energy thriller of loud guitars and brutally honest lyrics. Individually numbered in a limited edition with unique arigato style packaging and raspberry colored vinyl, Live the Dream is destined to be a classic.

Newcomers Abuse Of Power, hailing from Atlanta, GA, have already begun cultivating quite a following, not only for their sound but also their message. Drawing on '90s Atlanta bands Act Of Faith, Broken and Ex-Members Of for influence, the band also looks to the early New Age catalog (Outspoken, Resurrection and Eleven Thirty-Four) for inspiration. The music Abuse Of Power writes carries weight in every riff, snare hit and bass note. Every word sung comes with an urgency and intention that commands the listener's attention. In a period where hardcore is often dominated by bands that push rhetoric over substance and violence over anger, Abuse Of Power consciously rejects those ideals to prove that hardcore has always been about what you say, not how you say it. 7" is limited to 500 copies on colored vinyl.
A musically gifted orphan, Lon (Haylen Trammel), runs away from his orphanage and searches Atlanta for his birth parents. On his journey, he's taken under the wing of the Wizard (Lucky Hunter), a homeless man who lives in an abandoned theater. After discovering his talent, the Wizard gives Lon the name "Big Lon" and devises a plan to profit from his talent. Little does Lon know that his parents, Keb (Kaleb Perdue) and Yoon (Yoonsang Doo), are searching for him too. The stars eventually align and the 4 begin using their talents in musicianship for good. ABUSE OF POWER was born, raging onto the scene with catchy riffs, singalongs, and raging breakdowns in the vein of Outspoken, Chain of Strength, and Resurrection. The Atlanta quartet plan on spreading their ferocious tunes to the world now and forever.
The brand new Abusive Action ep called 'Fueled' is finally here and hits hard. Continuing where they left off with their selftitled debut, Abusive Action deliver four brand new songs, definately their very best so far (how cliche but how true). Take their previous stuff, add some more groove, heaviness, Breakdown and (early) Madball influences and you know what to expect. Sweet.
Singer Dennis Lyxzen and bassist David Sandstrom - formerly of Sweden's Refused,
one of the most innovative and influential bands of the '90s - have reunited, but AC4
is clearly a hardcore band: old-school, stripped-down, influenced by early-'80s
American bands, and minus the radical sonic tinkering and texturing of Refused.
Taking their influences from a variety of bands such as Have Heart, Modern Life Is War, Verse or Defeater, ACCEPT THE CHANGE has come up with their very own mixture of modern hardcore. Listening to "Escapism", it's hard to imagine this to be their debut record, that's how strong it is. The songwriting is anchored by the passionate lyrics from singer Tom: "Escapism" is about the vicious circle of giving up and having to start over, only to hit the ground again. In these songs I talk about the things that I went through and how I felt about it. Starting out like all teenagers uncertain and anxious sinking to the blackest depths of major depression it's a journey through my mind. It will not be the most touching story you'll ever hear. But I can assure you it's real." "Escapism" is personal and deeply honest. There's no doubt that these five friends have poured their hearts into these tracks. They've come up with the perfect way to express their emotions through their music. Raw and sincere, you'll do more than hear these songs... you'll feel them. On colored vinyl.
On their 2nd album “Amistad y Rebellion” Accidente from Madrid deliver another ten tracks of incredible pure hc/ punk – melodic and straightforward! The sweet melodies, guitarriffs and basic drumming fit perfectly to the catchy female vocals. This is an outstanding record and brings up comparisons to Elektroduendes, The Assasinators and Masshysteri.
On their third 7", Albany, NY's Acid Reflux tone down the manic hardcore of their first two records and go for a more early '80s Los Angeles or perhaps Midwest punk sound that is comparable to Angry Samoans, Clitboys, Circle Jerks and Zero Boys.
You got it! The 2nd ep from these Albany, NY HC Maniacs. 4 songs of bulldozer HC/PUNK that will have you breaking shit in seconds. The ep is over and done in a matter of minutes leaving you wanting to play it at least twice. Rad shit.
Sick of those bands that are too serious for their own good? Well, look no further. ACID REFLUX is here to put the FUN back in Hardcore Punk! Completely sarcastic and funny lyrics belted out over some very intense hardcore punk is what you get here. This ep contains selected tracks from their unbelievable demo. However, they are remastered, resequenced and ON VINYL! 8 songs in 8 minutes, need we say more?
Acid Tiger are a Brooklyn, NY based progressive rock/punk hybrid, featuring Converge/United Nations drummer Ben Koller and guitarist Lukas Previn (United Nations, Thursday, The A.K.A.s) among their ranks. Recorded and engineered by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, Acid Tiger's self titled debut is about as eclectic and vibrant as they come. Drive Like Jehu/Hot Snakes vocal sass, All/Descendents influenced fret board gymnastics and drumming, and the soulful darkness of The Cult and Murder City Devils are all apparent in their collective roar.
Hailing from Sacramento, the capital of sunny California, ACTIONS ASIDE play dedicated and full of passion hardcore. Great sing along parts, driven melody and energy to hold it all together. The impressive chors parts are another standout of this impressive debut. Green splatter vinyl in stock.
