Timber

Coming from the DC/Maryland area, is a band called Timber. These guys play really interesting and fun music. Driving rhythems, raw youthful vocals, and melodic guitar work that will chill your bones. Think of the prime 90s post-hardcore bands like The Nation of Ulysses, Drive Like Jehu, and Kerosene 454 for a good picture of how Timber sound. These dudes play hard, and this stuff's pretty powerful. They just released a 7" and you can send 4ppd to ambrose.nzams@gmail.com to buy it.

Hatred Surge - Servant b/w Bestial

Hatred Surge is a one man grindcore/hardcore project from Texas. This is Alex Hughes project, who was a former member of now defunct grindcore band, Insect Warfare. If you haven't heard this band, I wouldn't suggest starting on this release because this isn't his typical style (big use of electronics on this). This 7" sold out very fast (most selling at the release show). This is currently the only blog with this upped, so get on it!

Rot In Hell (RE-UPPED)

Rot in Hell is a newer band from the UK. They play metallic hardcore strongly influenced by early Ringworm and Integrity. The files in this are the demo from 2007, the split with Brain Dead, and one track from the Hordes split. The track from the Brain Dead and Hordes split isn't great quality and there is a track or two missing from the Hordes split. They are now signed to Deathwish Inc. and plan on releasing an LP soon on DW and watch out for a collection of their stuff to be released on a389 records.

Harm's Way

Harm’s Way is currently the hardest fucking hardcore band today. Seriously guys..these are the devil worshiping jams you listen to while pissing on the bible. Perfect music for robbing a bank, beating up your boss, long car ride MOSH, or if you just want to rage. These dudes were/are in members of Plan of Attack, Few And The Proud, Weekend Nachos and Chronic Seizure and play a heinous barrage of thrashing hardcore with plenty of dirge and sludge mixed in. Mixing Carcass, EyeHateGod, Infest, and Napalm Death, would give you a pretty damn good idea of how HARD Harm's Way is. New LP SOON.

Grief - And Man Becomes the Hunted

This is the final record by 90's Doom/Sludge gods Grief. This is probably my favorite album by these guys. Full of heavy, jagged riffs, huge sludge bombs. Total Sabbath/Vitus worship with grinding vocals. Every time I listen to the song "If The World Was Flat" I want to punch a hole in the wall. One of the most interesting doom bands I have ever heard. the_finest.

Necros - IQ32 EP

Here's IQ32 by 80's Ohio hardcore band Necros. Amazing fast, furious, powerful hardcore punk. One of the earliest, finest, and my personal favorite 80's midwest hardcore band. In the Necros short lifespan, they spent most of their time opening for bands such as, Black Flag and DOA, and playing shows with other midwestern bands like Negative Approach, The Meatmen, and Bored Youth. This EP was released by Touch and Go Records and Dischord Records. "I.Q.32 I.Q.32 I.Q.32 Midwest fuck you!"

Weekend Nachos - It's A Wonderful Life

Weekend Nachos is a hardcore (NOT POWERVIOLENCE) band from Illinois. Fast, pissed, and heavy in vain of Think I Care and Infest. This is probably one of my favorite bands! The recordings are a tad bit lo-fi, but still good. Their new stuff has gotten a lot better (check out Punish and Destroy on Cowabunga and the tracks off the This Comp Kills Fascists CD on Relapse). On tour now, go fucking watch them! Check myspace for tour details.

This is Cursed's sophomore album on Goodfellow records. Members were in bands Left for Dead, The Swarm, Ruination, Ire, and Haymaker. Played hardcore similar to Trap Them, Converge, and Integrity. They are now, unfortunately, broke up due to their shit being stolen on their European tour. They have two other LPs that are still in print (I, repressed on Thrash Art, and III: Architects of Troubled Sleep on Goodfellow). III was actually released maybe two months before they broke up.

Citizens Arrest - Demo '89

Citizens Arrest was a hardcore punk band from New York that existed from 1988-1990. Influences by bands like Siege, Negative FX, and SoA, Citizens Arrest played numerous times despite being around for only a couple years. Their music was a mix of hardcore bordering on thrash complimented by gruff vocals that made them sound like they were a Japanese band like S.O.B. or Gauze. Considered one of the seminal bands of the late 80’s N.Y. hardcore scene, many wonder what might have been if internal band conflicts wouldn’t have torn the band apart so early. This Demo features an awesome cover of Red C's "Pressure's On".

Acrid

Acrid was a Canadian hardcore band that existed durring the mid-to-late 1990s. They delivered extremely distorted, sludgy, sick, grinding metal. No sing-alongs, no breakdowns, no poppy interludes, just scathing, scary metal, and vocals delivered straight from hell. high, low, distorted, strangled as fuck, glass in the larynx vocals of Neil Rodman. Members of Acrid went on to play in acts like Grade and the Swarm.
