The purple tree is dead. Forever?

Since my co-blogger girlfriend/"soulmate"/"best friend"/etc. of 3 years (Kitt. aka Kitteh) vanished from existence sometime last year, I lost my mind. I'm stuck at a psychiatric institute/mental institute since I became alcoholized and tried to commit suicide on several occasions. Therefore I have not posted, and therefore I probably won't ever again.

Bad Advice

Bad Advice is an upcoming old school hardcore punk band from Richmond, VA. Features members of Government Warning and Direct Control. Doesn't look like there will be any more releases from this band though. It's a damn shame.

I was informed that there WILL be another release. It should be out this or next month, apparently. Keep your eyes open at vinylconflict.com

Lotus Fucker

Lotus Fucker is a chaotic noise punk/hardcore punk band from Washington, DC. Really fucking harsh and chaoitic with high pitched barbed wire vocals. I heard they have insane live shows. They've been active since 2008.

Rational Animals

Rational Animals is a hardcore punk band from Rochester, NY. They play catchy and brilliant 80's hardcore since they formed in 2006. They have since released 2 EP's which I haven't been able to stop playing and then this year they put out their debut LP and the band has progressed into a noise-rock direction and I can't complain at all. My 2nd favourite hardcore band right now after The Men. Buy their shit while you can.
