NEW RELEASES: SICKOIDS "No Home" 12" E.P. and SECTARIAN VIOLENCE "Upward Hostility" LP OUT NOW!

I'm going to keep this update short and sweet, but expect a full label update in your inbox this week as well!  The main announcement is that the SICKOIDS "No Home" 12" and the SECTARIAN VIOLENCE "Upward Hostility" LP are now available for mailorder in the GRAVE MISTAKE WEBSTORE!  These have been in the works since the beginning of 2013, so it's great to finally have them available!  There are also some awesome new distro additions so feel free to grab a few of those while you're at it!

Here is info on the two new releases:
 
 
GRAVE058: SICKOIDS "No Home" 12" E.P.
SICKOIDS follow up their debut LP with six new tracks of complex, pummeling hardcore. While their previous record incorporated varying moods and even a little melody, "No Home" is a blistering, full-frontal assault combining the directness of early POISON IDEA with dense, confident musicianship rarely heard in a hardcore band. Between their great first record and their powerful live shows SICKOIDS have set the bar pretty high, but "No Home" exceeds all expectations, cementing their status as one of the most exciting and vital hardcore punk bands in the world. Split Release with SORRY STATE RECORDS.

We've got copies on limited CLEAR VINYL w/ SILKSCREENED OBI STRIP (courtesy of Daniel Sorry State) while they last! We also have a package deal that gets you both the new 12" and their debut LP and saves you a couple of bucks!

You can stream and download the entire NO HOME 12" here:

GRAVE060: SECTARIAN VIOLENCE "Upward Hostility" LP
SECTARIAN VIOLENCE introduced themselves to the masses in 2012 with their impressive self-titled debut 7" EP.  "Upward Hostility," the first full-length from this intercontinental straightedge hardcore band picks up right where that first EP left off, delivering some of the burliest meat and potatoes hardcore you've heard in recent years.  SECTARIAN VIOLENCE smash through ten raging tracks deeply rooted in early 80's USHC while also drawing additional influence and inspiration from hardcore of recent years.  You can expect relevant socio-political commentary delivered over fast, driving hardcore with crushing pulses, keeping things unique, relevant, and fresh for 2013.

We've got copies on limited BLUE VINYL while they last! We've also got a cool package deal that gets you both the new LP and their 7" and saves you a couple of bucks!

In addition to these two new releases, we've got some awesome new distro stuff available as well ...
 
 
 
Not too much new distro stuff, but once again all killer no filler! We've got the incredible new KREMLIN LP, the brand new ripping MANIPULATION LP, two rad 12" compilations - the GROUND ZERO NY LP Comp and the WELCOME TO 2013 LP comp, the NUCLEAR SPRING 12", FOKLEIIS and CHURCH WHIP LPs on VINYL RITES, new 7"s from SUDOR, NEON PISS, THEE CORMANS, HELTA SKELTA, HIGHWAY CROSS, and more!

NEW IN THE WEBSTORE FOR 4.24.13:

SECTARIAN VIOLENCE "UPWARD HOSTILITY" LP (GRAVE060)
SECTARIAN VIOLENCE introduced themselves to the masses in 2012 with their impressive self-titled debut 7" EP.  "Upward Hostility," the first full-length from this intercontinental straightedge hardcore band picks up right where that first EP left off, delivering some of the burliest meat and potatoes hardcore you've heard in recent years.  SECTARIAN VIOLENCE smash through ten raging tracks deeply rooted in early 80's USHC while also drawing additional influence and inspiration from hardcore of recent years.  You can expect relevant socio-political commentary delivered over fast, driving hardcore with crushing pulses, keeping things unique, relevant, and fresh for 2013.

SICKOIDS "NO HOME E.P." 12" (GRAVE058)
SICKOIDS follow up their debut LP with six new tracks of complex, pummeling hardcore. While their previous record incorporated varying moods and even a little melody, "No Home" is a blistering, full-frontal assault combining the directness of early POISON IDEA with dense, confident musicianship rarely heard in a hardcore band.

Split Release with SORRY STATE RECORDS. We've got copies on limited CLEAR VINYL w/ SILKSCREENED OBI STRIP while they last!

KREMLIN "DRUNK AT THE GULAG" LP (BEACH IMPEDIMENT)
"Drunk in the gulag again!?! This time Kremlin emerge with not only a hangover but the proverbial lightning in a bottle - 10 tracks of insane hardcore punk captured on a four track and released for your listening pleasure on a 45rpm 12inch.  With a variety in song tempo, tone, structure and attention to detail Kremlin have made a real record rather than flog the dead horse of one riff and the same bag of tricks over and over to flex some musical muscle in an attempt to be "punishing" or "brutal" (oh brother!) or hammer home some point of reference. While they owe a debt to the past of classic hardcore punk for their sound this record is truly an addition to the punk cannon and their very own statement to the world. Kremlin re-envision the music of their influences using the old puzzle pieces to make a new picture - UK/European inspired punk riffing with the speed, precision, and sense of rhythm of classic American hardcore.  Kremlin's 4th release (and 2nd vinyl offering) steps back from the brink of insanity and the psychedelic frontiers of last years "Will You Feed Me" 7 inch with a more fleshed out, fully realized version of their sound that is somewhere between the no non-sense sound of their demos, the adventurous mayhem of their 7 inch, and the intensity of their live show."

V/A - GROUND ZERO NY COMPILATION LP (TOXIC STATE)
For the first time in decades, New York City possesses one of the most unique and groundbreaking hardcore punk scenes in the world, particularly through the "Toxic State sound." Ground Zero stands as both the definitive documentation of this NYC punk family, as well as proof of NYC's prominent standing in the American punk landscape.  This compilation LP features exclusive material from La Misma, Deformity, Nomad, Goosebumps, Black Boot, Putrida, Anasazi, Murderer, Sad Boys, Bortgang, Crazy Spirit, Perdition, and Dawn of Humans."

MANIPULATION "S/T" LP (SORRY STATE)
After two well-regarded 7"s on Fashionable Idiots and Sorry State, Chicago's Manipulation unleash their debut LP on the world. As befitting the move to big vinyl, the production is  clearer, the tempos more varied, and the attack more refined, but no one who loved their first two records will be disappointed by this beast. Recommended for those who like their hardcore dense, fast, passionate, and completely free of gimmicks or pretense.

V/A - WELCOME TO 2013 COMPILATION LP (NOT NORMAL)
December 21st, 2012: coastal residents from New York to Japan drowned as the ice caps melted, volcanoes simultaneously erupt ed the world over, the planet is engulfed in riots, and your last breaths were squeezed from your black lungs. 2013: Civilization as we know it has been largely replaced by roving tribes of mutants. Not Normal sent it's own intrepid reporters into the unknown to document the wailing, screeching caterwauling that has replaced the treacly, soothing Top-40 splendor of yesteryear and the primitive cave-drawings that have likewise usurped the proud tradition of kitsch reproduction as "art." What purpose have these cretinish imps? What motivates them, beyond vile impulse? Have the last bastion of propriety and moral standards any chance of reversing these adverse affects and restoring society to its natural balance? Doubtful. The end is nigh.  40 minutes of Hardcore Punk madness featuring new/exclusive tracks by Adjustment To Society, Aspirina Infantil, Big Crux, Bored Straight, Broken Prayer, Brown Sugar, Culo, Good Throb, Haute Couture, Hondartzako Hondakinak, Inservibles, NASA Space Universe, Negative Degree, Ooze, Porkeria, Tenement, and Thee Nodes and art by Amos Pitsch (Tenement), Ben Trogdon, Drugface, and Josh Davis. Comes in two-color screen printed jackets with a twenty page booklet.

NUCLEAR SPRING "S/T" LP (HYSTERIA)
Six new songs from New York City's Nuclear Spring. Their first proper release heavily influenced by the 80's anarcho punk scene with a LA Dangerhouse and early French OI tinge. Members of La Misma, CREEM, and Sucia. Silkscreened covers.

FOLKEIIS "HATE REBEL BLOOD STAIN“ LP (VINYL RITES)
Folkeiis is a hardcore punk band from Nagoya, Japan. Mauser toured Japan with them for 2 weeks, and they were one of the best bands we saw over there. Even on shows with Framtid and Warhead, these young men put on incredibly powerful and dynamic sets. This is a 12” collection of their first ep (Hell Kaaos Night, Answer Records, 2009) and various compilation and split appearances. While their newer songs have an almost heavy metal Zouo sound, these early recordings are unhinged noise-punk heavily inspired by classic Finnish hardcore, always on the brink of destruction.

CHURCH WHIP "PSYCHEDELIC NIGHTMARE" LP (VINYL RITES)
Heavy metallic d-beat, mixing Broken Bones, Discharge, Venom and other classics. Features all of Divisions switching some instruments up and adding D. Vassalotti (of previous Vinyl Rites fame) on drums. Members pedigree also include all great Tampa bands of the last few years, Cult Ritual, Horrid Cross, etc. All copies on black vinyl with large Crass-style poster cover.

NEON PISS "CLOSE THE DOOR" 7" (VINYL RITES)
Two new songs of dark and melodic punk done right. Like later gloomy Damned mixed with good early Damned, some Wipers, and tons of texture and layers to the songs. Their LP on Deranged was one of our favorites from last year and while this record is similar, the guitars are slightly cleaner while the whole recording is a little rawer. It feels nostalgic while being new, and I couldn’t be more excited to have a hand in this one.

SUDOR "CUATRO CANCIONES ..." 7" (TODO DESTRUIDO)
These 4 songs were recorded in the same session as their first 7" "Ciudad Imperial".  These songs were suppose to be used for a 4 way split Lp w/ Firmeza 10, Semen and Antidroga but that never saw the light of day.  So here they are now.   4 songs of adolescent punk that we have come to expect from Sudor!

HELTA SKELTA "ASBESTOS" 7" (HELTA SKELTA)
After a standout 12" in 2011, here's the follow-up EP from Australia's Helta Skelta. This band plays the best kind of hardcore and punk, i.e. the kind that defiantly flouts any kind of boundaries. The first song here is a brutal, mid- to slow-paced stomper that could be a Violent Future outtake, but then the second track, while holding at a similar tempo, weaves in some catchy punk guitar and recalls other great Australian bands from the Chosen Few and Radio Birdman right up to Eddy Current / UV Race. The b-side kind of weaves these sounds together while picking up the tempo, arriving at a more hardcore-inflected take on the Dangerhouse sound.

THEE CORMANS "MINGO/TIGER LILLY" 7" (TOTAL PUNK)
Thee Cormans have joined the esteemed Total Punk roster and delivered unto the world another frying pan to the dome of fuzz-arific surf madness.  We're not totally convinced over here that Thee Cormans aren't in fact real life cavemen surfers that put out surf punk singles on the side just for shits and giggles.  Well whatever the case, Mingo and Tiger Lilly are 2 more crapsterpieces of classic instrumental surf dirge recorded with the littlest attention to fidelity imaginable.  So yeah, this sucker rips!  Thee Cormans are tossing off whomped-out surf stompers in the grand tradition of the Mummies, Untamed Youth, a la the Estrus  and Crypt Records catalogs and they are doing it with not a care in the world.  Fiendishly Recommended.

RAPID LOSS "S/T" LP (MATA LA MUSICA)
Rapid Loss hailing from Edmomton,AB (Canada) releasing their 1st S/T LP on Mata La Musica Discos! Rapid Loss delivers us this new raging hardcore punk lp after one previous ep release under their belts.  From start to finish this hardcore punk record has the fury and anger of bands like Poison Idea, BGK and Siege. Recorded by Graeme from No Problem(Edmonton), this Rapid Loss LP became like a gift that won't stop giving. It's loud and uncompromising, get this into your hands and I promise you will not be disappointed. RP also just finished up their 2013 west coast tour for the release of this record.

MUNDO MUERTO "QUE ASKO" LP (MATA LA MUSICA)
This is MUNDO MUERTO's follow up to their 1st 7". Straight forward and classic punk to pogo and throw up too! Catchy melodies, frentic guitar riffing, and awesomly tight drumming. The guitar and bass are urgrent and keep it ripping with influences from COLERA, OHLO SECO. Think classic Spanish and Brazzilain punk with contemporary attitude and feeling. Pick this one up, and and play it loud!

GENERACION SUICIDA "S/T" 7" (MATA LA MUSICA)
Generacion Suicida from Los Angeles with their debut 7" on Mata La Musica Discos. GS delivers some tracks on here that are awesome and catchy as hell with driving melodic dual male/female vocals. With influences like early 1979 Los Angeles punk and the 1990's Danish punk scene . This is highly recommended for fans of Gorrila Angreb, Alley Cats,The Vicious, Electric Deads to name a few.  GS just finished up a 2 week tour on this west coast. If you did not have a chance to pick it up during this tour then make sure you get your hands on this now.

HIGHWAY CROSS "RUN DRY" 7" (TOXIC POP)
Highway Cross is the product of four of northern Virginia's most talented and esteemed veterans of the hardcore/punk scene. Frontman/guitarist Matt Michel was a major force behindMajority Rule and has done time in Cloak/Dagger. Also from Cloak/Dagger is bassist Colin Barth, who plays bass here. Guitarist Ben Tankersley played in DC area favorites, Shoutbus!, and the beast behind the drums is Jake Kregger, who also plays in Triac. The band certainly worships at the altar of Rick Froburg (Obits, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu) and it shows through loud, crunchy, angular riffs backed by pounding, driving rhythms. Their debut 7" was self-released and certainly piqued our interest, but this follow up really finds the band settling into their own sound which takes the aforementioned influences and shapes them into something uniquely borne by these four fine gentleman.

INDUSTRIAL PARK "S/T" 7" (TOXIC POP)
Industrial Park hail from Portland and play gothic-rock/post-punk in the tradition of bands like Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, and Slowdive. This record would have fit very well among the early 4AD releases. This debut 7" single is just a tease of what's to come. Expect great things from this duo. Comes with a digital download code.

MIKE BELL & THE MOVIES "STUCK IN A TV" 7" (SELF AWARE)
Mike Bell & the Movies features ex and current members of Algernon Cadwallader, Bandname, and Dangerous Ponies. For fans of go-karts, pick slides, and ninja turtle sized slices of pizza.  Mike Bell is a sweetheart. He is America's little brother and could warm up your heart with his honest and kick ass rock and roll songs. If you like Pavement, Stephen Malkmus, Elvis Costello, and Weezer then this is your bag.

COP CITY CHILL PILLARS "HELD HOSTAGE ON PLANET CHILL" LP (FLORIDAS DYING)
Off kilter minimal punk from Lake Worth. Strange, dark, creepy vibes abound. Chanted vocals, surfy lead lines that weave in and out of the songs, primal tom heavy drum beats. Party music for alien cavemen on a planet with high gravity. Good for your next seance, or for worshiping your sun god. The musical equivalent of being hit in the head with a hammer, not so much the blunt trauma, more the long term affter effects. I hope I never have to leave Planet Chill.

COP CITY CHILL PILLARS "HOSED" LP (FLORIDAS DYING)
Black robes, torches, mind-control, mock human sacrifice rituals, and worship of Moloch the ancient Canaanite deity. These are just some of the images conjured up by "Hosed" the long awaited follow-up from Lake Worth Florida’s own Cop City Chill Pillars. "Hosed" takes things to its next logical conclusion with even more rhythmic messing about and lots more monotonous chanting. They don’t really sound like any other band, but feel free to make whatever musical comparisons you like. Hint: A-Frames, (Hardcore) Devo, Plastic People of the Universe, Jeff Mills.

SLEAZE, THE "TECKTONIK GIRLS AND OTHER HITS" LP (TOTAL PUNK)
"If you’ve been at this record collecting thing for any time now you’ve probably figured out that in this day and age there are two kinds of punk rock. The first type is to vintage late 70’s and early 80’s punk what Sha Na Na was to Eddie Cochran – y’know, studied nostalgia for a bygone age that’s never coming back. Then there’s the other kind of punk; the music made by those marked from birth as lifelong mutants and complete fuck ups. Call it TOTAL PUNK if you will. These punks aren’t looking to the past so much as spontaneously acting upon the same maladaptive urges that gave rise to bands like the Electric Eels and the Gizmos. These are exactly the kind of punks we’re talking about when we talk about the Sleaze. Guaranteed not one Sleaze has ever heard of the initials KBD. As far they’re concerned Bloodstains are just what you get on your clothes after a 3 AM drunken wrestling match. And yet through some miracle of surreptitious retardation these four goofballs managed to blindly stumble upon the primordial essence of punk captured so often on those aforementioned comps. You notice at first in Conor’s quintessentially snotty voice and Mark’s staccato guitar riffs, but it’s there lurking under the surface in Joe’s repetitive basslines and Will’s savant-like drumming as well. All eight songs on this 12” twitch and throb with a deviant vitality that will remind you why you got into this punk garbage in the first place without bringing to mind a single band you could cite as an influence. There's always been something off about the Sleaze – what other band besides these guys would think it was a good idea to give some of their best songs impossibly dumb titles like “Conor Start” and “Big Azz Butts?” – but the more you listen to this record the more you will realize how their complete disregard of history and accepted “good form” is what makes them so right on. The Sleaze truly don’t give a fuck about anyone or anything other than themselves. Everywhere they go they leave behind a trail of bad decisions, broken promises, unhonored debts, damaged property, innumerable cans of Mountain Crest with shotgun holes punched in the bottom, and – redeeming it all – a bunch of timeless songs that will be cranked out of broken speakers for as long as there are still dirtbags out there making a mess of their lives through punk rock. Tektonik Girls is the Sleaze in all of their damaged glory. Buy this record and it will shatter your soul." - Steve Borchardt

OLD FLINGS "SPITE" LP (SELF AWARE)
The new tracks for the LP tear your heart, mind and ears to shred. The Samiam and Texas Is the Reason comparisons are still strong here but I feel like some Dinosaur, Jr. and just general guitar shreddage has been added to the mix.  If you liked Old Flings before then you will love this. The recording is amazing, this is one of those records that WILL change the way you think about things.

LATE BLOOMER "S/T" LP (SELF AWARE)
This band has progressed tremendously in the short time they have been a band. I say that even though they released a stellar demo tape earlier in the year.  This LP documents that progression with a lot more of a focused sound and also introduces a lot more interplay between all of the 3 members as they all share vocals parts and seem to bounce ideas off of each other.  What does it sound like you ask? Well it would feel at home in the late 80s and early 90s on SST, Dischord, and maybe even Sub Pop, but don't feel ready to just ring them up as some 90s rehash band. While the songwriting is cohesive and focused the band seems to be drawing many different types of music that have influenced them over the years. Nothing seems off limits and everything is on the table.  They do all this while sounding undeniably like themselves.  The band features ex and current members of Meth Mountain, Obstruction, Pullman Strike, Scout, Planet Piss, Horse Thief, and many others.

MAXIMUMROCKNROLL #360 - MAY 2013
In the May issue of Maximum Rocknroll — MRR #360 — we proudly present: a trip back in time with Greek punk mutineers STRESS (see video below!); Bordeaux post-punk outfit KALTE LUST and the importance of expression; AUTONOMY from Carbondale, IL, and the power and uses of aesthetics in anarcho-punk music; and a look into the mind of our cover artist, Alex Heir of Death Traitors.

Here is the info on the release:
 
 
VC-001: BARGE "No Gain E.P." 7"
Richmond, VA's BARGE finally deliver the highly anticipated follow up to their 2012 demo with the raging "NO GAIN E.P.!"  Clocking in eight tracks at just under nine minutes (for those of you with short attention spans), this debut EP brings the blistering speed and ferocity of classics like INFEST and NO COMMENT, while laying you out flat with heavy breaks reminiscent of classic early 80's Boston.  BARGE's intensity both live and on record are the reason they are one of the best new hardcore bands coming out of RVA these days, and it's about time for everyone else to hear why!  This release also marks the beginning of the new and improved, locals-only VINYL CONFLICT LABEL!

The VINYL CONFLICT RECORD LABEL is a joint collaboration between myself and Vinyl Conflict Record Store owner Bobby Egger.  The label, originally started by Vinyl Conflict / No Way Records founders Brandon and Lauren Ferrell, was created to document what was going on here in Richmond, VA.  Bobby took over the shop in March of 2012, and we decided it would be a good idea to bring back the label!  The BARGE 7" is our first release, the debut 7" from DEVIL'S HAND is right around the corner, and we have a few more things planned for 2013 so stay tuned!

Some other quick GRAVE MISTAKE RECORDS news before I go ...

If all goes as planned, we will have the SICKOIDS "No Home" 12" and SECTARIAN VIOLENCE "Upward Hostility" LP available in less than two weeks (as well as have copies at DAMAGED CITY FEST in DC on the 12th and 13th).  You can also stream the SECTARIAN VIOLENCE LP in full over at GLUEHC.COM!  We were also able to get copies of the STRIKING DISTANCE "March to your Grave" LP reissue for UNITED BLOOD fest here in Richmond last weekend, and we will have those available at Damaged City fest as well! After that, we've got the US pressing of the KREMLIN "Will You Feed Me?" 7" slated for late April, and mid May will see the release of the BIG EYES "Almost Famous" LP/CD!!! We've got tracks from most of these new releases streaming over on the GM Bandcamp page, so check em out!

Finally, we've got some Tours coming up! BIG EYES are currently three days into their West Coast Tour w/ CRIMINAL CODE, THE SHIRKS leave for tour this weekend, and KREMLIN leaves for tour later this month. I've also gotten word that the NIGHT BIRDS and SECTARIAN VIOLENCE tours, which are wrapping up soon, have been a blast so thanks to everyone who made that possible!

WHAT'S NEW FOR 4/5/2013:
http://www.gravemistakerecords.com/catalog/products_new.php

BARGE "NO GAIN E.P." 7" (VINYL CONFLICT)
Richmond, VA's BARGE finally deliver the highly anticipated follow up to their 2012 demo with the raging "NO GAIN E.P.!"  Clocking in eight tracks at just under nine minutes (for those of you with short attention spans), this debut EP brings the blistering speed and ferocity of classics like INFEST and NO COMMENT, while laying you out flat with heavy breaks reminiscent of classic early 80's Boston.  BARGE's intensity both live and on record are the reason they are one of the best new hardcore bands coming out of RVA these days, and it's about time for everyone else to hear why!  This release also marks the beginning of the new and improved, locals-only VINYL CONFLICT LABEL!

CULO "MY LIFE SUCKS AND I COULD CARE LESS" LP (DERANGED)
"Okay, 1st off, the LP is NOT called 'The Return of Culo', look at the spine of the LP for proof of that. But in a sense, its almost a return record since the guys took a good amount of time prepping it. This LP was recorded over a weekend in mid March 2012 with their man of choice Kevin up in Lansing MI. This is definitely not a concept record, but it can almost be called a 'time and place' record since the album is a reflection of everything in the band's life when writing it, but what bands don't? If you only loved the fast stuff the band has done before, that's still present on tracks here but also the band offers more variety then ever before. To be blunt, the fast songs are faster, the mid tempo tracks are more punchy and the the rest are just downright catchy as hell. I see the 'Ramones songs made ugly' as a comparison nowadays made about a select few, and finally someone's pulls it off, even though the boys go for their own thing but that certain band is a large influence. This is a true PUNK record. And damn John's voice almost is an exact cross of Jerry and John Brannon, its so eerie the semblance. This album was just meant to happen and even if its release experienced a few delays, it's a timeless record. Nothing was spared from the record down to the look, layout and quality and what you get sounds excellent. So sit back, grab something to drink (or supply to any other habit you may have) and enjoy all that is Culo.''

RIVAL MOB, THE "MOB JUSTICE" LP (REVELATION)
Drawn up by some of the most unsavory souls in the Boston, MA underground hardcore scene and reinforced by members who have done time in infamous area bands like Mind Eraser, Righteous Jams, Mental, XfilesX and many others, The Rival Mob have become the darlings of the current hardcore scene, inspiring shameless violence and playing high on the bill at the most important hardcore festivals in America: This Is Hardcore in Philadelphia, Sound And Fury in California, and Chaos in Tejas in Austin, TX. In between serving time with their current other projects World War 4, Give, No Tolerance, and Boston Strangler, the band will be playing on both coasts highlighted once again by the big summer festivals as well as their first-ever trip across the Atlantic to Europe. The band's Revelation Records debut picks up right where their previous EP, "Hardcore For Hardcore," left off, with vocalist Brendan Radigan spewing venom at the ills that plague both the outside world and the scene itself, all delivered over fast, stage dive-inspiring hardcore that brings to mind the best of mid-to-late '80s New York hardcore bands like Youth Of Today, Warzone, and Breakdown. Vinyl version includes digital download.

PISSED JEANS "HONEYS" LP (SUB POP)
Age and four full-lengths haven’t mellowed Pissed Jeans; they can still unleash a blare that will exfoliate your cochlea. Formed in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Pissed Jeans released Shallow, their first album, in 2005 on Parts Unknown Records. The band relocated to Philadelphia seven years ago, and Sub Pop released Hope for Men in 2007, and then King of Jeans in 2009. The latter was recorded by Grammy nominee Alex Newport, who also recorded Honeys.  Age and experience have, however, refined Pissed Jeans. Their ideas and execution have become more subtly focused. The songs on Honeys are direct without being obtuse, evocative without being vague, personal without being indulgent. They also rock like nobody’s business. Forget all the claptrap you’ve heard about other bands delivering the goods. If you want bloodthirsty, you’ve got it… At times Honeys is the sound of being bashed over the head with a snow shovel. At times the band slows down and sounds like waking from a nightmare you can’t quite remember. The songs are catchy, but in a way that would appeal to mental patients who only understand colors.  Honeys stews on the kind of mundane, niggling things that keep you up late at night. It’s an ode to the misery and shackles of being a responsible adult, and the shame of one’s own narcissism. Pissed Jeans trucks in menacing songs about insecurity, and nobody has ever done it better.

BRAIN VACATION "THE MUSICIANS" LP (WALL OF YOUTH)
Brain Vacation first appeared in 2008 as repulsive noise supposedly here from the post-apocalyptic future. Now that we’ve all survived 2012, BV re-emerges as an actual band from Chicago whose approach is a bit more tuneful but no less focused on the end of everything. Their new record takes full advantage of the fact that punk is whatever they make it to be — furious hardcore, upbeat pop, lumbering almost-metal — propelled by huge guitars and lots of yelling. This fearless sense of play makes it feel like the record could have been made 30 years ago by a group of Angeleno kids despite the fact that it was made a few months ago by a quartet of 30-year-old Anglo goons. Fuck Armageddon... This is The Musicians LP by Brain Vacation!  The LP (Wall of Youth’s first) is pressed on severely heavy 180 gram “molten core” colored vinyl and housed in a printed matte jacket with 2-sided lyric sheet/insert, shrink-wrapped for posterity and limited to 250 copies. Play at maximum volume for a real treat.

STRIKING DISTANCE "THE FUSE IS LIT" LP (BRIDGE 9)
Out of print since the mid-2000s, "The Fuse Is Lit" has undergone a deluxe re-treatment by Bridge Nine and will now be available on 12" LP. This re-issue features six studio tracks that originally appeared on the album on side A, and a great seven-song "Live At CBGB's" set from August 2001 (which perfectly captures the band's energy) on side B. All of the audio has been remastered specifically for vinyl by John Golden at Golden Mastering as part of Bridge Nine's 10th Anniversary Repress Series. Vinyl version includes digital download. COLORED VINYL!

AMERICA'S HARDCORE VOL. 2 - V/A - COMPILATION LP (TRIPLE B)
America's Hardcore" compilation series returns with 16 new tracks from the best up-and-coming bands along with tracks from some of hardcore's most iconic bands. Each song is new and exclusive to this compilation and comes complete with a 20-page, 11"x11" insert booklet featuring pages designed by each band. LP includes digital download. Featuring INTENT, BEWARE, OUTCROWD, RINGWORM, and many more!

MILK MUSIC "CRUISE YOUR ILLUSION" LP (SELF RELEASED)
Combining the driving hooks of the Wipers, slashing riffs of Husker Du, and melodic-on-the-edge-of-control vocals of early Dinosaur Jr., Milk Music reinvent early to mid '80s SST-style hardcore punk and '90s lo-fi Pacific Northwest influences for a new generation. Formed in Olympia, Washington, the band is comprised of singer/guitarist Alex Coxen, drummer Joe Rutter, guitarist Charles Warring, and bassist Dave Harris. A self-titled, self-released cassette offered in 2009 introduced listeners to their anthemic, thrashing sound, followed a year later bt the Beyond Living EP, which found a wider release in 2011 with the Perennial label. This, Cruise Your Illusion, is their full length debut for Fat Possum Records. All the familiar elements slightly borrowed from the above references are here by they've added some atmospheric fuzz-jams reminiscent of Neil Young and Crazy Horse and diversified their songwriting to add elements of offbeat songwriting like labelmate Townes Van Zandt. Singer Alex Coxen sounds as blazed as he does disenchanted with all things rule oriented.

ICEAGE "YOU'RE NOTHING" LP (MATADOR)
Just out of their teens, it seems Copenhagen's Iceage have only added to the anxiety and tension that made their debut album, New Brigade, so compelling. But now, they're challenging their raging emotions instead of simply expressing them. You're Nothing, Iceage's sophomore album, is the sound of a band pushing their singular mix of punk, Goth, hardcore, and postpunk to even further extremes. It's overwhelming how many ways Iceage have found to write the short aggressive rock song. When you see Iceage live you get the feeling the songs are just about to fall apart before miraculously recovering, always rewarding you with a climax. This menacing energy is more forceful on You're Nothing. It is a more epic sound, like a rough sea.

HUNX AND HIS PUNX "GAY SINGLES" LP (TRUE PANTHER SOUNDS)
"Despite the fact that Gay Singles is Hunx and His Punx's trashy-excellent first full-length, you may be familiar with the group's frontman Hunx, aka Seth Bogart, whether you know it or not. Perhaps you know him from his keyboard and vocal duties in Oakland's garishly theatrical, ambisexual band Gravy Train!!!!. Or perhaps you recognize him from his very naked appearance in the "hardcore" version of his labelmates Girls' "Lust For Life" video. Or maybe you're one of the fans that have been trolling eBay for the five hard-to-find, sold-out Hunx and His Punx singles that have been released (and just as quickly snapped up) over the past two years.  If you count yourself in the latter category, then you're in luck; this album collects the tunes from those 7”s, presenting them (along with new bonus track "Do the Make Up") together for the first time. If you count yourself in the first category, however, you may be quite surprised by Gay Singles." - pitchfork.com

THAWED OUT "S/T" LP (SHOGUN)
4 song 2012 unreleased session on A side, 5 song 2011 demo tape on B side. This band from Birmingham, UK is in league with Pollution, Total Abuse, Void.  Review of the 2011 demo tape by Slays for days blog in Australia : "Featuring members of Host (who we've featured before) and another UK band named No Reality, Thawed Out play a crusty and fucked up style of noisy hardcore similar to Cult Ritual or Total Abuse. The demo embraces its lo-fi sensibilities, which in turn works hand in hand with the band's downer punk style. A total of 5 songs, all of which are glazed with feedback and mid-tempo riffs. Lead breaks poke around on the demo, and are as you would expect - unpredictable and eccentric. Still, as ugly as this tries to be, it has an undeniable charm to it, one which will keep you coming back. This is for fans of the noisy hardcore making appearances lately, or simply old fuckheads who haven't given up on their United Mutation records."

COLTRANES, THE "VISIONS OF TERROR AND BLISS" LP (SHOGUN)
Vinyl version of 2 limited 100 CDEPs by this Temecula, CA band somewhere in between The Misfits, Fang, Merchandise and NASA Space Universe. Hardcore Punk with lo-fi kind of feel of the guitar and bass while the vocal style is mature, diverse and controlled. From the band: "There's not much to say about us. We're a three piece (Walt, Ernie, Otis) from out in the middle of the desert. We hate everybody, everybody hates us. It's hot as fuck out here and we get all the santa ana winds so we're losin our shit."

COLTRANES, THE "I'VE GOT HEAVEN IN MY SMILE" LP (SHOGUN)
Vinyl version of the limited to 100 copies 2011 CD by this Cali trio somewhere in between early Fang / The Misfits -the vocals-, Merchandise -noisy landscapes and atmospheres- and NASA Space Universe -original music mixing retro and modern Punk sounds. The album contains 14 songs. Heavy vinyl to boot. 500 copies.  Sorry State : “Debut LP from this really weird California band. Coming from the same label that brought you Nasa Space Universe and Inservibles, the Coltranes have a similarly unique sound. The vocalist kind of sounds like early Danzig, but the music is simple and spastic punk... something about it kind of reminds me of the Cramps, but it's also got a quirky, Die Kreuzen-ish rhythm to it as well. I realize that description probably makes no sense, but if you dig weird, original, and captivating HC check these guys out.”

LAPINPOLTHAJAT "WAHLROOSIN UNELMA" LP (SHOGUN)
From Rovaniemi, Finland, this second album plays a little less hardcore than the first one. The record sounds very classic from the very first notes and will be put away close to the ones by TRISTESS and YOUNG WASTENERS. Co-release with Kämäset Levyt and Roku.  Sorry state review: “2nd LP from this Finnish punk/HC band. I haven't heard their debut, but word is that they've gotten a bit more melodic on this releases... however they got here, I LOVE how this turned out. It reminds me a lot of the catchier end of 80s European HC... bands like Upright Citizens, Appendix, or maybe even Melakka. Modern bands like Hjerte Stop might also be an apt comparison, but this feels a little more authentic and less retro than that. At any rate, these guys know how to write a song while still keeping it intense and hardcore. This is a must for fans of new or old Finnish punk.”

DEATH CAMP "TEENAGE NIGHTMARE" 7" (BLACK REBEL)
Here it is folks, the debut vinyl release for both Death Camp and Black Rebel Records... Finally available after many delays. The band plays heavy, almost metallic H/C, with their influences ranging equally from stuff like Sheer Terror & Warzone as well as The Replacements, Suede & Sisters of Mercy. The record was recorded live (even vocals) in March 2012 with Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios. Comes with a stickered poly bag with the band info on it to take away some of the mystery of what the hell you're listening to! Rochester RN'R baby!

WAKE UP DEAD VOL. 1 - V/A - COMP 7" (BAD TEETH)
Get excited about current hardcore all over again with this 7" compilation of 6 American bands featuring THE REPOS, CURMUDGEON, SEX PRISONER, TO THE POINT, SUCKED DRY and THICK SKIN. All new/exclusive material. Includes a beautiful 8-page booklet insert.

WHITE WASH "S/T" 7" (KILL SOMEONE YOU HATE)
Debut record from Winnipeg’s WHITE WASH and KILL SOMEONE YOU HATE RECORDS. Four songs of noisy punk made by four grown men who should know better by now. Won’t disappoint you like everything else in your miserable, pathetic life.

BORN ANNOYING "LIVING HOW YOU'RE NOT" 7" (REAPER)
Born Annoying is a hardcore/punk band from the Jersey Shore formed in 2011. They play music that can be perfectly set to black and white footage of heavy machines crashing together, clips of test flights of missiles/jets/rockets ending in catastrophic failure, videos of young kids being disobedient, chargers pulling in under the lip at Backdoor, long-hairs slam dancing, bikes being ghost ridden into brick walls and people skateboarding fast through traffic. For fans of Cro-Mags, Bl'ast! and Floorpunch. 7" includes digital download.

WYMYNS PRYSN "S/T (3RD)" 7" (NO BREAKS)
"Latest EP from this Atlanta punk band that had a previous release on Scavenger of Death. I think this is my favorite material from the band yet... it's certainly their strongest recording yet, and probably the punkest songs they've filled a record with Everything here is really up-tempo and catchy, so much so that you can almost tell they're from the same city as bands like Predator and Cops. However, there's a noisy post-punk influence that really makes the band unique... they sort of remind me of Mission of Burma rocking out on some 70s punk covers or something. A killer 7", and all wrapped up in a super snazzy screen printed jacket." - sorrystaterecords.com

WYMYNS PRYSN "WASTE YR LIFE" 7" (PYGMY)
“Waste Your Life” is a solid bit of rockin’ with a strong riff and vocals that drone more than sing. “Keep It Simple” is a wee bit more esoteric, with a darker, more complex structure, but no less compelling. Good stuff, great cover art"- razorcake

TOUGH LUCK "HEAVY FORTUNE" 7" (SOLID BOND)
New six song seven inch from Richmond Virginia's Tough Luck. Straight forward in your face hardcore.

RAW NERVES / ACTS OF SEDITION - SPLIT 7" (MAN IN DECLINE)
Ahead of a West Coast tour in March 2012, Man In Decline issued a split 7" by these two prolific bands. Raw Nerves comes on like a strong dose of early hardcore in the vein of The Fix and Negative Approach mixed with influences from the '90's like, Citizen's Arrest, Born Against and Rorschach. Acts of Sedition continue their established sound of dark, depressing hardcore that should appeal to fans of Tragedy, Born/Dead, Citizen's Arrest and Nausea.

DOWN TO NOTHING "GREETINGS FROM RICHMOND, VA" 7" (REVELATION)
This is Down To Nothing's 7" precursor to their upcoming full-length, "Life On The James," due out on Revelation Records. This vinyl 7", affectionately titled "Greetings From Richmond, Virginia," features two LP tracks and the exclusive, non-LP B-side track "Swallowed Up." For fans of Bane, Strife and Terror.

DOWN TO NOTHING "UNBREAKABLE" LP (REVELATION)
Down To Nothing started from humble beginnings in 2000. Around that time, local Richmond VA favorites Count Me Out and Time Flies found themselves at the tail end of their careers, making Down To Nothing the perfect fit to fill the void of the two fallen heroes. Like most young bands, DTN's expectations didn't go much further than a little touring and releasing a record. After putting out their first full-length, "Save It For The Birds" in 2003, DTN knew they were bound for more. In the next two years, DTN released two splits: The first came out in 2004 and was with Florida's Kids Like Us (Eulogy Records); the second split was the result of a strong friendship they forged with the UK's On Thin Ice on their first European tour in 2005. The two splits along with three unreleased songs were compiled and released as "Splitting Headache" in 2005. This compilation showed immense growth and acted as a bridge to their most recent work, "The Most." After being out of print for over a year, DTN's "Splitting Headache" and "Save It For The Birds" are finally available again on one special Revelation release, "Unbreakable." New pressing now available on purple vinyl and limited to 500 copies. Vinyl version includes digital download of this record.

INTEGRITY "SYSTEMS OVERLOAD" LP (ORGANIZED CRIME)
Originally released in 1995, "Systems Overload" was a shock to the hardcore scene that was focused more on politically correct ideas than the sheer brutality of the music. "Systems Overload" marks the third chapter from the first volume of one of the most loved and hated hardcore bands in history. This expanded edition contains new cover art, fold-out poster and layout by Dwid Hellion, as well as liner notes about the making of the record from Aaron Melnick. LP includes digital download.

LIARS ACADEMY "NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS" LP (EQUAL VISION)
Featuring ex-members of CROSS MY HEART (Deep Elm Records) and STRIKE ANYWHERE (Jade Tree Records) this Baltimore area trio plays polished and melodic hook-laden songs that will appeal to fans of all realms of emo and indie rock.

TERROR "NO REGRETS NO SHAME" LP (BRIDGE NINE)
With heart-stopping stage dives, singsongs and unparalleled energy from the band, "No Regrets No Shame..." captures Terror at their inception and in their glory days; a must-have for any modern-day hardcore fan. Now available on colored vinyl. Vinyl version includes digital download.

CEREMONY "ROHNERT PARK" LP (BRIDGE NINE)
Bay Area, CA's Ceremony is back with their third and most unpredictable full-length album to date: "Rohnert Park." This new album is equal parts aggressive, incendiary and, dare we say it, catchy. Don't let that fool you, though; Ceremony's trademark pissed off punk stomp is apparent on "Rohnert Park" and vocalist Ross Farrar's lyrics and delivery are as fiery as ever. Now available again on colored vinyl. Vinyl version includes digital download.

CRUEL HAND "PRYING EYES" LP (BRIDGE NINE)
Cruel Hand's "Prying Eyes" is a record that's going to knock you on your ass. Originally a side project for members of Outbreak, Cruel Hand has evolved from a band that never meant to tour into a band that has done three full US tours, a full European tour and are releasing their sophomore full-length on Bridge Nine. Combining early Metallica, Madball and a crossover hardcore style that sounds like a modern Agnostic Front or D.R.I., Cruel Hand is set to show you that hardcore can be metal or your metal can be hardcore. Now available on colored vinyl with a gatefold cover.

COCK SPARRER "TRUE GRIT OUTTAKES" LP (PIRATES PRESS)
Remixed and remastered, this foil-stamped gem includes all of the tracks that were recorded for their debut with Decca, only uncut with all the count-ins and banter in between. Previously released on CD by Captain Oi! as "Rarities," this record is like a snapshot of being in the studio with Cock Sparrer during the very early days. As would be expected with such an amazing band, many of these songs have held strong through decades of new music and continue to reign as many of the "hits" they still perform today.

DISMISSED - DEMO TAPE
New band outta Richmond featuring members of your favorite bands like DOWN TO NOTHING, FIRE & ICE, IRON BOOTS, BRACEWAR, and TRAPPED UNDER ICE. Hard as nails!

HARD STRIPES - H.S.U.B. MMXIII DEMO TAPE
Brand new demo from fairly new RVA band HARD STRIPES made specifically for UNITED BLOOD FEST.  Features the four tracks from their demo re-recorded along with a couple of new jams, so if you missed out on grabbing a copy, now's your chance!  "Burly demo by this new RVA band. 4 songs of early USHC meets NYHC ala Breakdown or Warzone. It actually reminds me of Nightstick Justice more than anything else and the last song, Frenzy, is the best Hardcore song I've heard in 2012. I'm hoping they record a full-length, cause this is a monster. And did I say that the last song is my favorite Hardcore Punk song of the past year? If it would've been recorded in 1983, it would've been a classic." - nobeastsofiercenyc.blogspot.com

BUSINESS VENTURE "SLEEP WHEN YOU'RE DEAD" DEMO TAPE
Demo from this melodic Idaho band featuring members of Shang A Lang, The Thumbs, and more.

WRONG DECISION "THE US TAPE" TAPE (BLEEDING EDGES)
Wrong Decision is a new band from Belgium. On first listen, I was getting comparisons to 86 Mentality, Dead Stop, Insurance Risk and Commitment Crew. Straight forward early 80's style US hardcore, with burly vocals is what you should be expecting. Most of these songs will be on an upcoming 7", but there's some exclusives here. The A side give you 8 ripping hardcore tracks, the B side you'll have to experience first hand...
