http://store.WHAT'S NEW FOR SEPTEMBER 26, 2014:
http://store.
STEP FORWARD "S/T" 7" (Painkiller Records)
The original Step Forward 10 song E.P. was recorded in 2006 and released at the end of that year. In 2007 they started working on songs for a follow up, eventually recording a second session in 2009. That session was scrapped due to quality issues, with excerpts released on a cassette tape sold at one show in 2012. In Winter 2013, Step Forward decided to give their second E.P. one more try, rerecording some of the songs from 2009, and adding several new ones. After 8 years, here is the second Step Forward 7".
GLUE "S/T" 7" (Katorga Works Records)
Following up an endlessly-praised demo is certainly a feat in today's fickle world of hardcore punk, but Austin, TX's Glue pulls it off with aplomb with the band providing us with a slab of classic USHC that improves upon the tremendous promise of the aforementioned demonstration. Living in the darkness, sleeping in the light, Glue's in the city gonna run the night.
PROTESTER "S/T" 7" (Trash King Productions)
Bubbling over with pre-apocalyptic, post-adolescent furor stands Washington, DC by way of suburban NC's Protester. The singular vision of one angry youth is channeled into tightly packed bursts of rage at an unfriendly world in uncertain times. Unhindered by the complications of opposing viewpoints or musical sensibilities, this one-man-band delivers classic straight edge hardcore with maximum impact. While avoiding the retro trap of singular worship of one particular group or vibe, this recording blends the best of DC/Boston ’82 with Clevo/Seattle ’89 and a musical vocabulary that is enriched by, without being dulled by, all that has/is/will be punk.
KOWARD "Desperate" 7" (Side Two Records)
Koward return with 4 Blasts of UK inspired heavy dbeat. Staying away from the epic side of things, Koward keeps their songs catchy and punk. For fans of Doom, Disrupt and raw punk that's also music.
NERV "USA Off Earth Now!" 7" (Lagerville Records)
The newest batch of tunes from Iowa City’s NERV are now available on a 7″ titled USA OFF EARTH NOW, which you can check out/purchase in the Lagerville store. NERV play fast, unrelenting hardcore punk from the real American midwest that no one talks about. Seven songs clocking in at 8 minutes that are soaking of misanthropy and self-disgust. This record is for those who’d rather stay in than go out.
RADIOACTIVITY "Danger" 7" (Secret Mission Records)
It is no secret that Radioactivity are one of the hottest garage/punk acts on the planet right now. Featuring Jeff Burke and Mark Ryan from a legendary Denton, Texas quartet the Marked Men, the band saw the release of their highly anticipated debut LP on Dirtnap Records as well as a-song 7” on Germany’s Alien Snatch Records in 2013. Both records were received extremely well by the press and fans alike. Continuing the legacy of their mighty predecessor, Radioactivity, offer up some of the catchiest, most infectious, tightly executed pop tunes out there. But that doesn’t mean the band is content with just following a single formula, as is evident on their latest release on Secret Mission Records. Here are two brand new songs that offer some moodier melodies and are laced with colorful if not different guitar sounds, then on their previous releases. Danger is a contemplative number, in which singer/guitar player Jeff Burk does some deep soul searching, laid to a beautiful tune. While Why is a more confrontational number, with bigger drum sounds. Still, as usually is the case with Radioactivity, the melody is the driving force here. This is an amazing record! You definitely need it!
FAILED MUTATION "We Are a Failed Mutation (Demo)" 7" (Self Released)
Self released vinyl version of their demo on Not Normal Tapes. That's right, True Believers, Not Normal is back with a brand new offering of Midwest slime: Milwaukee's Failed Mutation. Some schmucks you know/love got together and oozed out 7 originals plus a Deep Wound cover and were magnanimous enough to let us put it out. Raging hardcore that takes cues from Necros, Zero Boys, and, yeah, a bit of Deep Wound. You're a Failed Mutation, I'm a Failed Mutaion, We're all Failed Mutations, so do the mutant shuffle and get this tape, you fucks!
HURULA "Vi Ar Manniskorna Vara Foraldrar Varnade Oss For" LP (No Good Records)
New solo project from Robert Hurula Petterson who is also in Masshysteri, The Vicious, and Regulations. Hurula continuing where he left off with the last amazing Masshysteri album.
BROTHERHOOD "Till Death …" LP (Southern Lord Records)
Having raged the West Coast from their 1987 inception to their disbanding just over two years later,BROTHERHOOD existed alongside Insted, Bl'ast, Chain Of Strength and Uniform Choice. The members of the band were all bred in the Northwest on The Accused, Poison Idea, The Melvins, and with East Coast threads born of SSD, DYS, Corrosion Of Conformity and Straight Ahead woven into their sound they created a powerful strain of straightedge hardcore in which the band conveyed their intolerance for racism, sexism and more through their lyrical basis and on-stage delivery. Their relatively short-lived run went on to inspire many of the seminal bands that have followed in hardcore straightedge such as Undertow, Unbroken, Champion, No Tolerance and many more. Members of BROTHERHOOD have posthumously forged numerous other musical endeavors including but not limited to Christ On A Crutch, Sunny Day Real Estate, Foo Fighters, Resolution, Digh Down, Burning Witch, Engine Kid, Sunn O))) and Goatsnake.
PUSRAD "Erarre Humanum Est" LP (Dead Beat Records)
Phenomenal LP here from Sweden's finest, PUSRAD, who feature two former members of the almighty Raped Teenagers. Creative mutants PUSRAD continue to redefine the boundaries of Punk/HC with fresh ideas and blistering songs. PUSRAD take cues from classic US HC bands like Deep Wound, FU's, Jerry's Kids, and Koro; but throw in really weird off kilter riffs and unsuspecting, stop-start tempo changes to really make their songs stick. The crisp, clean production really captures their ferocious, manic energy and for a HC band their musicianship is impeccably tight. 'Erarre Humanum Est' is as relentless as it is creative, and the unpredictable, uniqueness of each song is really what makes PUSRAD's music stand out. Flawless Swedish HC here from a band that continues to impress.
UNA BESTIA INCONTROLABLE "Observant Com el Món es Destrueix" LP (La Vida Es Un Mus)
Barcelona's UNA BÈSTIA INCONTROLABLE came out of nowhere a few months ago. Within a few weeks of their existence they had recorded a promising demo of experimental noisy hardcore, played a few shows in UK and Spain and started working on their debut album. Barely 6 months later they give birth to "Observant Com el Món es destrueix". A 9 track LP integrally sang in Catalan and with a psychedelic approach to their previous bands sound (GLAM/ ATENTADO/ DESTINO FINAL / INVASION/ CROSTA amongst others). Their primative anthems of nature seeking dreams are distorted, repetitive and heavy at times. With their boots firmly stuck in hardcore based while keeping the overall sound free of any boundaries and styles. The artwork by guitarrist Guillem el Muro reflects the spirit of the album perfectly. An explosion of hardcore between day dreaming of peace and nightmares of reality.
ORDEN MUNDIAL "Obediencia Debida" LP (La Vida Es Un Mus)
Hailing from Mallorca ORDEN MUNDIAL plays unadulterated distorted hardcore punk which is equally influenced by WRETCHED/ CRUCIFIX or UNITED MUTATION/ MECHT MENSCH. Their guitar sound is unhinged with an insane tone over a relentless drums/bass and a vocalist which manages to get his point across firmly. Their message is clearly anti-authoritarian with most lyrics on the album questioning dogma and painting a bleak picture of our lifes. An urgent record for urgent times. The album is pressed in 180 gsm vinyl and comes housed on a 350gsm reverse board jacket designed from the band. Includes a 60x30 black and white insert with lyrics and art.
SATAN'S SATYRS "Die Screaming" LP (Trash King Productions)
Resist if you please, deny if you will. In 2014 it is inescapable- Satan's Satyrs will surely find you, and you will "Die Screaming!" Screaming for more. This, their first LP as a souped up power-trio sees the young men from Virginia rising from the depths of the basement into the heights of 3-dimensional sight and sound. While "Wild Beyond Belief!" was a lumbering, thundering blast of crude fuzz and teenage snarl, this new LP is a multi-layered theatrical display of once-in-a-generation proportions. Engineered by Don Zientara (Void, Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Foo Fighters) in his Inner Ear Studios, this 100% analog edition of their definitive release is as much a sonic delight as it is a showcase for their road-honed chops and creative brilliance. Starting with a grinding Hammond organ cranked through a vintage Leslie rotating speaker, this slab of wax, cut to vinyl by none other than Paul Gold- shows towering crescendos, and staggering lows are within the realm of Clayton and the gang's command. This release is the ONLY release in contemporary times that handles heavy occult rock with the delicate touch it requires. Not an exercise in belched lyrics atop a turgid amateur-hour approximation of Sabbath's "Hole in the Sky" for the 999th time - this release is varied and nuanced, from slow to fast, from jazz-informed passages to the scuzzy dragstrip sound of '60s exploito-cinema, this record truly has it all. Housed in a custom made Trash-Pak foldout cover, this is THE hard rock release of 2014.
SATAN'S SATYRS "Wild Beyond Belief" LP (Trash King Productions)
Remember the go-nowhere kid at your high school in Anytown, USA? The first to drop acid, the first to drop out, the first to wag the finger of adolescent inhibition in the face of all standing in their way. What if that kid actually got their shit together, and took the harder route of transforming their blood, sweat and hormones into a ripping deluge of blasphemous scuzz-rock workouts? Wild Beyond Belief!, the debut album from Virginia's Satan's Satyrs, is that refreshing blast of youthful energy in the staid wasteland of modern heavy metal.
HYALIN / THE NO MARKS Split 7" (Brassneck Records)
THE NO MARKS released their debut 7" at the end of 2013 and this 7" sees 2 brand new recordings of quality melodic punk from ex (and current) members of BLOCKO, CROCODILE GOD & THE DOWN AND OUTS. This is the debut release from HYALIN who are made up of 2 thirds of BLOCKO and 2 thirds of CHESTNUT ROAD. 1 original song and 1 BROCCOLI cover.
CHESTNUT ROAD / BUZZORHOWL Split 7" (Brassneck Records)
I think BUZZorHOWL sum their sound up nicely with the line "We heard guitar was in trouble. We came as soon as we could". But for those of you who need a little more, the band hail from the North West of England and include members of Drive and Jailcell Recipes. They released their debut 7" in 2013 (a split with Good Grief) on Drunken Sailor Records. This is their second release and it is killer. Chestnut Road appear on this page quite a lot. And rightly so. Hopefully you know them already but, if not... they are a 3 piece from Toulouse, France and they play music that, if I was looking for an easy comparison, would say sounded loosely like a bunch of guys who love Leatherface and Broccoli. As such, Chestnut Road love Leatherface & Broccoli. And they are one of the best bands out there at the moment.
CHESTNUT ROAD / PANIC ATTACK Split 7" (Speedowax Records)
Two awesome international bands, each doing one original and one Broccoli cover!!!
MODERN PETS "B.I.Y.S." 7" (Secret Mission Records)
MODERN PETS are back! With a couple of LP’s, a demo and a string of EP’s on such infamous labels as P.Trash, Modern Action and Dead Beat Records, among others, under their belt, this outfit from Berlin, Germany is showing no signs of slowing down. Their latest offering, a two-song scorcher, on Secret Mission Records recalls the best of late seventies-style power pop/punk rock bands like The Undertones, The Kids, Normals, as well as some later combos such as The Hives(early on), Teengenerate, Carbonas and their fellow krauts The Kidnappers. The lead track, “B.I.Y.S.”, is an absolute fist-pumper. Punchy drums, killer guitars with a crazy fuzzed out lead in the middle. An all too familiar battle call in the chorus takes on a whole new life here. An instant classic, for sure! On the flipside is “Sweet Frustration”, a testament to trials and tribulations faced by a teenage leather jacket clad Romeo. A superbly executed sing-along that will be stuck in your head for quite some time. This EP will be out in time for the band’s North/South American Tour. A limited pressing of 500, with free download coupon included. And don’t forget to check them out live in the scummiest, sleaziest rock & roll pit near you!
DIALS "School Girl" 7" (Secret Mission Records)
The latest from Secret Mission Records is a split release with the legendary Japanese label Mangrove. Continuing in the grand tradition of lo-fi garage punk from The Land of The Rising Sun is the brand new 7” from Mito, Japan’s DIALS. Even though the obvious and may be a bit lazy comparison to the great bands that came before them, such as the mighty Teengenerate and the fab Registrators is not out of place, it’s the tunes on this baby that make us flip with joy and make us look to the current and, perhaps, to the future!!! School Girl, a great punk rock & roll number that’s a little faster and a little grimier. Super catchy! Nervous is a guitars-forward rocker, dressed in tight drumming and booming bass. And to assure that you won’t sit still they throw in hand claps a-plenty, which (in the perfect world) turns it in to something you can shake your money maker to. This record comes in a slick hand screened jacket. Only 200 copies are available for US distro with 300 going to Japan! GET IT NOW OR CRY ABOUT IT LATER!!!
BOYS ORDER "Tomorrow Dancing" 7" (Secret Mission Records)
There is pop music, and then there’s POP!!!! Osaka, Japan’s Boys Order fall into latter category. Made up of ex-members of Radio Shanghai, Prambath and Zero Numbers, these guys offer the kind of New Wave noise that could potentially feel up a sports arena with screaming fans in their native land and a decent size club here, in the US of A. Everything on this record is BIG! Big guitars! Big drums! Big bass! Big keyboards! The girl vocalist has a sweet voice that’s, well…. BIG! Both songs are extremely catchy. Superb party music that would make Andrew W.K. proud. Tomorrow Dancing is an anthem that could challenge Kim Wyld’s “Kids In America” or Epoxies’ “Need More Time” in a karate match! A more frantic Danger offers screaming guitar, wild futuristic synth noises and crazy drum beats! This record is not meant to be listened to low decibels. Some side effects may occur, such as hanging from the ceiling fans, beer showers, food fights! 500 copies only!
GENOCIDE PACT "S/T" 7" (Bad Teeth Records)
Washington D.C.'s GENOCIDE PACT are back with their first official follow-up to their excellent 4 song demo. The 2 brand new songs on this 45 7" single are a very apparent step up from their previous material. Perfectly crafted death metal in the vein of classic bands like Obituary, Carcass and Entombed but not without its own personal touch. You get the best of both worlds here, punk and metal fans united as one. Now available!!! One time pressing of 500...don't sleep on this! It will never be repressed once these are gone.
ARREST "La Poli Bastarda" 7" (No Nostalgia Records)
ARREST follow up their killer demo with La Poli Bastarda 7", finding itself at the perfect intersection of Spanish punk and UK 82/Oi!. On this record, members of other excellent Barcelona bands such as CRIMEN DE ESTADO and SIBERIA harness their appreciation for DECIBELIOS, RIP, and BLITZ into 4 flawless tracks of driving and angry punk, with an infusion of melody and catchiness that recalls NO HOPE FOR THE KIDS. In the true Barcelona spirit, lyrics commenting on state repression and class struggle are delivered with impeccable timing in both Spanish and Catalan, including an added bonus of English translations on the insert. The record comes beautifully packaged in full color with an obvious nod to the timeless 4-SKINS. This is a shared release with Discos Enfermos (Barcelona) and required material for fans of international punk.
PATHETIC HUMAN "Public Disgrace" 7" (Helta Skelta Records)
After releasing some of Austrlia's best hardcore, including a split with SUFFER, a S/T 7" and string of cassettes this is PATHETIC HUMAN'S, third and final vinyl output. Recorded back in 2009 but unreleased until now. This slab of strange power violence sees them taking their approach one step further. Still loose and heavily indebted to anti-social sounds and substance, but with a heavier take and a more eratic mood. In sound this is heavier than their previous releases but just as claustrophobic and stifling. An ugly assault. A great send off to this now defunct band. Fortunately members moved onto CHROME DOME, ZINGERS, VELVET WHIP, HEADLESS DEATH, RIP FUCKER, DEBACLE, HAVITTAJAT and various more.
NO FAITH "Dead Weight" 7" (Clean Plate Records)
Power violence saturated with noise and disgust. No Faith is 3/4 of VACCINE grinding through an ear shattering twelve minutes of pummeling and heavy angst. Not for the faint of heart. Reminiscent of early Suppression, Bucket Full Of Teeth, Man Is The Bastard, and other extremes.
LOW THREAT PROFILE "Product Number 1" 7" (Deep Six Records)
Back in print! Ten tracks of straight forward hardcore with members from No Comment, Infest and Lack of Interest. Recorded before 9/11/2001.
LOW THREAT PROFILE "Product Number 3" 7" (Deep Six Records)
This third output from Low Threat Profile features Infest's Matt Domino not only playing guitar and bass but doing all of the vocals as well, with the band being rounded out by Bob from Deep Six/Lack Of Interest on drums. These nine tracks are exactly what should be expected: fast, intense hardcore that borders on the powerviolence played by those who originated the genre.
WOODWORK / DYING Split 7" (Hydrogen Man Records)
Here's a killer split 7" featuring new material from Philadelphia, PA's Dying and Toulouse, France's Woodwork. The first two songs on the split come courtesy of Dying. For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Dying is a vegan straightedge hardcore band from Philadelphia, PA who formed in 2012. Dying play a dark and metallic style of 90's influenced hardcore. Musically, Dying can be said to be influenced by bands such as Unbroken, Harvest, and Torn Apart. The second two songs on the split come courtesy of Woodwork. Woodwork is a five piece band from Toulouse, France who formed in October of 2011. Woodwork play a metallic and politically charged style of hardcore with a killer 90's vibe. Overall, this is a killer split and both band's offer up top notch material for this split.
LOS CRUDOS "Cobardes" 7" (La Vida Es Un Mus)
Four hard to find Crudos tracks comped onto one 7"... includes three tracks that were originally released on compilations back in the day as well as one that was a CD-only bonus track on their discography CD. Four vintage slices of Crudos' 90s hardcore attack and they sound great on wax!
VIDEO "Cult of Video" 7" (No Good Records)
Two killer new songs from everyone’s favourite Texas punks. Taken from the “Join The (Hate) Wave” 7” recording session on Total Punk.
FRAU "Punk Is My Boyfriend" 7" (Static Shock Records)
Static Shock Records gets the honour of releasing the debut three track 7" from London feminist punks Frau who feature members of Woolf and Good Throb. They released the much loved 8 track 10 minute demo on Tuff Enuff Records in late 2013 (which has now been reissued on LP by Dead Beat Records) and now return with three more short blasts of discordant and furious noise. 'Punk Is My Boyfriend' is a dirty and scratchy cut with pounding drums and an insistent guitar hook. It comes over like a mix of Pre 'Cut' Slits, Huggy Bear and Kleenex. 'Snakeskin' is possibly the only song in the world that could have appeared on both Crass' 'Bullshit Detector' and any Kill Rock Stars compilation. Final track 'Orca' sounds like it could fall apart at any moment and just about makes the one minute mark. The guitars grind over a busy bass, heavy yet loose drums and explosive vocals. DIY has never sounded so good. Limited to 400 copies with hand stamped sleeves.
SATAN'S SATYRS "Black Souls" 7" (Trash King Productions)
Satan's Satyrs return with their first studio release since 2012's "Wild Beyond Belief" and it is nothing short of electrifying. "Black Souls" the lead-off single from their upcoming "Die Screaming" LP is a wild ride out of the dungeon that spawned them into a three-dimensional orgy of forbidden delights. Swirling guitars, grinding bass, and thundering drums propel their sound to new heights of rock and roll abandon. Never has their potent blend of psychedelic-hard-blooze-rock-
SATAN'S SATYRS "Live at the Black Cat" 7" (Trash King Productions)
Recorded live shortly after the release of their debut LP, this 7" showcases the youthful energy and seasoned swagger of the premier power-trio of the twenty-teens. Filling the stage with their massive stacks of Mississippi-made gear and once-in-a-generation freak charisma, this is the first document of their fully realized lineup. Raw and loud, this puts you in the front row- the proper appetizer for their worldwide assault this year. Catch them at Roadburn, on the road in the USA and Canada, or right in the comfort of your listening room and experience the future of rock and roll: intriguing, heavy, and WILD BEYOND BELIEF!
DROPDEAD / CONVERGE Split 7" (Armageddon Label)
A pairing of two legendary bands celebrating their joint twenty year history within the Punk/Hardcore genre. Both songs were recorded at Kurt Ballou's God City Studios in early 2011, and mastered by John Golden (Neurosis, Melvins, etc). "Runaway" from Converge is an instant classic for the band, unrelenting in its speed and emotional ferocity from beginning to end. While Dropdead's "Paths of Glory" is an unforgettable political punk/hardcore anthem, that proves that the years behind the band have only strengthened their hold on the battlefront of the true underground.
POISON IDEA "Getting the Fear (RSD 2014)" 7" (TKO Records)
Limited edition Record Store Day colour 7" originally released as a 12". When it was originally released over 25 years ago, the Getting The Fear 12" was immediately considered by many to be the height of POISON IDEA collector scumdom: a mailorder-only 12" single, pressed on a vast array of limited color versions, all hand-numbered and including a poster. The original pressing quickly disappeared into legend, joining Pick Your King as one of the most sought-after pieces in the vast POISON IDEA discography. Now you too will be able to own this classic release on vinyl without paying out the $300+ price the original fetches in the online collector market. You're welcome As always, keep your eyes peeled for further POISON IDEA LP reissues for the TKO RECORDS Kings Of Punk series!!
BRIMSTONE HOWL "Blowhard Deluxe" LP (Dead Beat Records)
Roaring out the gates with a gale force of noisy, feedback-drenched guitars and thunderous pummeling drums, the pride and joy of Lincoln, NE return with a snarling, shambolic vengeance. On 'Blowhard Deluxe', BRIMSTONE HOWL continues to exorcise their putrid, grimy Rock N Roll demons by primitively, pounding Blues fucked riffs into gloriously-trashtastic backwoods anthems. The fingerprints of BRIMSTONE HOWL's sound is seeped in the rich musical grime of bands like The Gun Club, Billy Childish, Radio Birdman, The Cramps and The Oblivians; and they cathartically spew raw, gritty blasts of Riff N Roll supremacy. Pioneers in the underground Garage scene, BRIMSTONE HOWL have come a long ways since their early days working with Jay Reatard and Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys). Another winner from the HOWL.
ZOOM Demo Tape (Trash King Productions)
ZOOM is the culmination of things brewing for quite some time. East meets west, young meets old- a story oft repeated but mostly obscured by ex-member hyperbole and undelivered promise. The difference for ZOOM is that rather than attempting to adhere to the narrative of the dominant trends in music in this era ZOOM exists for the symbiotic renewal and enrichment of music for all eras. This vampiric feast of youthful energy and time-tested wisdom is as much for those in the crowd as it is for those on the stage. While this spirit is immortal, ZOOM's lifespan is surely finite- feast while you can on their eponymous cassette debut.
OUT FOR BLOOD Issue #1 Zine
Richmond's new hardcore rag OUT FOR BLOOD is here - includes interviews with John Evicci (Out Cold / Oblivionation) and Jon Westbrook (Knife Fight), plus the appropriate amount of reviews, shittalking, and exclusive photos to make for a quality HC zine. Has a similar feel to Counterfeit Garbage, with writing and layout duties split between two proficient cretins. Not for poseurs or pseudointellectuals - a real meat and potatoes HC rag.
FASHIONABLE ACTIVISM Zine Issue #3
Issue #3 features interviews with Laura Pallmall, Elijah Funk, and Black Panties plus loads of full bleed gig photos among other things. It’s 32 pages and printed on a risograph machine with red ink which looks killer!
