Civic Progress - Live at KDHX & Disposable EP

Civic Progress is a punk band from St. Louis, Missouri. They play in vein of current punk bands Government Warning and Double Negative. The Disposable EP is their newest EP and the live set is a live recording from their 1-22-07 set on KDHX. If you have the mp3s from the KDHX set and you didn't download from here, re-download this one. The tags were all fucked up on the original files. The KDHX has great audio for a live set, btw.

Mammoth Grinder - ...Goes To College (Demo Tape)

Mammoth Grinder is a downtuned, sludgy hardcore band from Austin, Texas. Think like a heavier and better Coliseum. This is their demo put out by Ghosthunt. Contains four tracks and only one was re-recorded and put on the "Rage and Ruin" LP.

H100s - Discography

H100s were a mid nineties hardcore punk band from Cleveland, Ohio similar to Poison Idea and the Darvocets. Members went on to Nine Shocks Terror, Gordon Solie Mother Fuckers, and Cheap Tragedies. I deleted the old H100s post and decided to up all three EPs (Dismantle, Texas Death Match, and Destroy Cleveland).

Warpriest - Archaic Revival

Warpriest is a sludge and crust influenced hardcore band from Baltimore, Maryland. Think along the lines of Tragedy and His Hero is Gone, but a lot better. This their LP on Streetcleaner records. I believe it is out of print. Also, I believe they have broken up, but am not too entirely sure.

Rapt

Thrashy french hardcore in vein of something like Lärm or Siege. I Don't know too much about them, but here's their split with Final Blast and 2 of their demos. Scour Soulseek if you want more.

Mind Eraser - The Prodigal Son Brings Death

New Mind Eraser EP on Young Blood Records. YB webstore is down for now but you can buy this from RevHQ and other places I'm guessing; for a non limited version. Sounds pretty hard. Still waiting for my copy in the mail, until then will I announce my shitty opinion.

In Disgust // Godstomper

Originally recorded live @ KJFC on December 17, 2007 and finally put out on a crummy piece of plastic by San Jose's own Unholy Thrash records and kept to a mere 350 copies. In Disgust are at their best here, while Godstomper spew out their bass and drum (synths too, for some reason) attack.

Gasp

Gasp are an often overlooked powerviolence band that came of age with the likes of Spazz, Man is The Bastard, No Comment and others during the 90's powerviolence scene. Their sound was a combination of sludge, dissonant feedback, tape manipulation, and delayed guitars. Creating a marvelous soundscape that noone has ever been pull off. Here is what Chris Dodge (bassist for Spazz, Despise You and owner of the now defunct label, Slap a Ham records) had to say about Gasp in a great article about the 90's powerviolence scene:

[Drome Triler was] another unappreciated album when it came out. It seems like people are just now showing an interest posthumously. Their early stuff was more straightforward grind, and they eventually progressed into whacked-out psychedelic noise. They broke up soon after the LP was released. Cynthia, who was the original Gasp bass player, is doing vocals for Despise You now.

Drome Triller of Puzzle Zoo People LP

Harpoon Guns

Fast garage-y hardcore from Southern California. This rules! Shit's Rockin. They have three 7"s and an LP. I don't know too much about these guys but its well worth checking out. If you know any more about these dudes post a comment. Check out their myspace, some info there.

Mentally Challenged / Men's Interest

Fairly new band from the Boston area featuring the lead guitarist from Mind Eraser (They sound nothing like Mind Eraser). This is pretty rad. It's noisy, dark, gloomy, blah blah blah~ Hardcore punk. It's pretty similar to Sex/Vid and Cold Sweat, while drawing main influences from 80s hc like Void. It's not your typical run of the mill hc, that's for sure. They've had a few tiny releases so far on Deerhealer, Painkiller, and some self released shit. I believe they have a few tapes, 7"s at the painkiller store, and they have a CD titled "Year One" which has all of their songs they've put out so far (which is what I'm going to upload). Grab all of their shit before it becomes ebay gold. The picture is from their demo tape.

Mentally Challenged - Year One




Another new band from the Boston area is Men's Interest. They've only released a demo tape on Painkiller, which is sold out. Men's Interest are hard and heavy while being distorted and chaotic at the same time. Joe Denunzio vocalization is here along with powerful Rorschach and My War era Black Flag influence. Their demo that I'm going to upload is ripped as only one track and the recording isn't that great (sorry!) Credit to whoever ripped it. This is great, I'm really looking forward to hearing more from these dudes.

Men's Interest - Demo '08

Inmates - Now We Talkin Hardcore! 7"

New 7" released earlier in 2008 by these Cleveland ragers. Has a little better production than the previous Assholes Unanimous 12", but in my opinion these songs are even better. Check the previous Inmates post for a little more info on the band and the aforementioned Assholes Unanimous Presents... album. Released on a foreign label, but I believe it is still available from reputable distros (try No Way or Grave Mistake) in the States. 

I'll try and get a better scan up of the cover art and perhaps the insert later.

Vagina Boys

Relatively unknown garage punk band from San Francisco who put out one 7" on the Swedish label KenRock in 2007 before disbanding. Pretty fun, and the lyrics are as lude and ridiculous as the name would imply. Features Mr. California on vocals and ex-members of the Grabbies, Bunny, and Plastination, if that means anything to you.

Scapegoat

Yes, there are way too many bands named Scapegoat(s). Yes, you should still listen to yet another. Really kick ass power violence influenced by some of the greats (most noticeably, Crossed Out). This Scapegoat is from Boston and put out a 7 incher on Painkiller , which is still available and on it's third press. 10 songs clocking in at 7 minutes. Rager!
