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.

The Men

2011-09-12T17:59:00.003+02:00

The Men are a nasty noise punk/hardcore punk band from Brooklyn, NY. I'm in love with this band. Catchiest and coolest bass-driven hardcore songs with a noisy and dirty garage punk layer. Very original and on their later records they tend to experiment a lot with shoegaze and noise. Leave Home is, hands down, the record of the year. Dig in.

Noise Punk/Hardcore band from New York City, NY. Dirtiest, catchiest hardcore ever. On their demo they kind of sound like Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld or Pigeon Religion/Jesus Lizard if you may. Weird shit. The EP is a lot tighter and the vocals are gnarly as fuck. The song "Use Your Imagination" is some of the best fucking hardcore I have ever heard. Perfection.

Pulling Teeth - Funerary (+ rest of discography)

2011-05-01T15:04:00.012+02:00

Pulling Teeth is a metallic hardcore band from Baltimore, Maryland. Those of you who don't know this band yet should truly be ashamed. You've been missing out badly. They are definately one of the best among the more well known hardcore bands to come out of the 00's. Reminds me a lot of Left For Dead with more metal to it.

This band keep progressing and I barely recognized them on the Delusions/Illusions album. On Funerary they keep progressing and I'd say they mix their earlier in the face sound with the newer melodic, atmospheric Sabbath sound. There are even a few songs with clean vocals which I have a bit of a hard time getting into. Otherwise this is great and I love the song Grudgeholder, especially, which was also featured on the split with Shin To Shin.

Here's their BRAND NEW album "Funerary" and everything else they released so far.

And all I can say is that if I hear their music I want to go on the streets and stab people randomly and break infants necks.

I have no idea wether they are still around or not, but I doubt it. I'm pretty sure that this is everything they recorded, except for their first demo which I haven't been able to get a hold of.

So 2010 was a slow and rough year for this blog. My co-poster Kitt was absent and I didn't feel like posting anything throughout the whole year. Anyway, this year will be different. I have a bunch of bands that I want to post for you and I will post AT LEAST one band per month. That's a promise. Seems like a little, but it's a lot compared to last year. Quality > quantity. Oh, and
Kitt is back too.

Hai, Kitteh. YOU ARE BACK.

Hoax is a new band from Western Massachussetts who doesn't really bring anything new to the table. Nothing original here, but it still sounds amazing. This is real dirty mid-tempo hardcore filled of angst and drugs. They consist of members from brilliant bands such as Aerosols and SQRM. They only have one release so far, which is their demo recorded by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios who previously recorded bands like Das Oath, Orchid, Aerosols, Mind Eraser, Ampere, Jeromes Dream, Wasteland and MANY many more.

Low Places

2010-11-25T13:28:00.005+01:00

Many bands email me about posting their shit on my blog and not much actually gets posted. This band, however, is the best band I have heard in a long, long time. Low Places are a band hailing from Los Angeles, CA playing sludgy and thrashy in-the-face hardcore that will awaken the inner tomahawk mosher in you. They pretty much sound like a punkier version of Badmouth. Although the song "Sleeping In" sounds exactly like something off of Trash Talk's Self Titled LP. Don't let this scare you, though. I know it's not cool to like TT anymore. Give these guys a chance. They deserve your attention.

Thanks to Vince (Low Places), Christopher Rendon (photo ) and Kitteh (Make Friends With Time). You can buy the 7" through Recession Records at the end of the year.

2010-10-26T16:14:00.002+02:00

The Ominous Order of Filthy Mongrels is a band of 5 dudes from Toms River, NJ, USA. They play some heavy, but catchy, ass hardcore. They bring an exciting crusty and metallic sound to the table. Bringing to mind bands like Cursed and Pulling Teeth, but I think that fans of Moutheater and Burning Love would enjoy this.
This band is signed on the label Chainsaw Safety Records, who are known for releasing records from bands such as Black Army Jacket, Pulling Teeth, Voorhees, Seraphim, Sick Of Talk, Gray Ghost and much more. Cool stuff. "Filthy Mongrels" is also giving out free copies of their Demo at their shows so go check it out.

McCruelty: I'm Hatin' It--Learn More.

"cool that you put this up here. the problem is, however, that PETA supports welfarist measures. with a campaign like this, they send the message that it is acceptable for us to enslave or kill chickens as long as they die a "less brutal" death.

but how can we justify any murder? it's not the way we torture and kill, it's the fact that we do that is to be considered unethical. every animal, no matter how small, can feel pain and fear, can suffer and want to live in freedom. all of us have the same interest in life, no matter wheter we're pigs, chickens, cows, dogs, fish, cats or humans. that makes us equal. discriminating an animal (and as a result of this, exploiting him or her) for being not human is no different from racism, sexism or classism. this form of discrimination is called speciesism and from childhood on, they forcefeed us to think like this.

we have to break free from the traditional thinking that it is acceptable to exploit others for whatever reason. animals are not to be used as resources or slaves, and we can have an immediate effect in this by choosing not to partake, by going vegan.

until all are free!"

The Rip Offs

2010-07-07T15:38:00.004+02:00

The Rip Offs was a Garage Punk/Punk Rock quartet. Sprung out of San Fransisco which seemed to have been the desert of Punk Rock at the time (1993), they wanted to do something new and out of place. They decided to play gnarly, loud punk rock while wearing nylons over their heads during live performances. Members of Supercharger, Fingers and The Mr. T Experience.They broke up in 1995. Good stuff.

Lyrical themes touch on the decay and hopelessness of ideals mirrored by a rough and explosive production quality to present the bleakest and most intense presentation possible.

This new self titled 7" is their best release so far in my opinion and it's definatly the best 2010 release I've heard so far this year.
It was up on youth attack last night and sold out in what? 1 hour? It will be up for repress in some time, I guess. KEEP AN EYE OUT.

So last week or so I got mailed by Moe from Which Side Records and she offered me a copy of these guys (kind of..) new demo in trade of a review. How could I say no? I now have a merry collection of 2 cassette tapes.

I had heard of this band before I was confronted by Moe but I'd never give them a fair chance. On beforehand I saw that they had gotten a lot of positive feedback on the last.fm shoutbox of theirs and it seems like this band is going to get recognized.

Zero Progress is a 4-piece band from Danville/San Fransisco, CA and they seem awesome straight forward and down to earth dudes. Their sound reminds me a lot of the faster bands hardcore from the mid 80's.

Six members in total. The sounds recorded this day were deranged, devastating and truly scary. New arrangements of three IRON LUNG songs, three WALLS songs and two PHT noise pieces. On top of that, they wrote two brand new songs and threw in a cover just to spice things up. Twenty nine minutes worth of total noise and depression sound. Absolutely crushing.

So it seems that most of the good hardcore and punk bands in Sweden come from Norrland (northern parts). This is an awesome oldschool hardcore punk band from Umeå, Sweden. Even though they look and sound like they are an 80's band, they are not. They have existed from the early 00's and they still do to this day. They are about to release their second LP soon. Features members from E.T.A. and The Vicious.

Nazti Skinz

2009-10-08T17:50:00.001+02:00

Nazti Skinz’ brilliant concept consisted of four talented and well known personalities who only wanted to play five shows, write six songs, and release 500 copies of a crummy looking record. This, they thought, would safely undercut the probability of ultimately sucking as most bands do. As a result, they cashed all their chips in here and recorded the most brilliant single nobody’s ever heard.

Middle Class

2009-08-31T20:14:00.004+02:00

Middle Class from Santa Ana, California, were one of the first “hardcore” bands in history. (Debate continues to this day as to whether Middle Class were the first hardcore band or if Black Flag or Bad Brains were.) Their sound evolved from being a blistering, shouted, arty version of punk which would be extremely influential to the hardcore sound that would emerge in the years following their first release.

If you hear this band you would say 'Joy Divison has gone hardcore'.

Gang Green was a 80's hardcore band existing from 1982 'til 1990 and after that they did a few reunions not worth mentioning, really. After their first break up in their first year, vocalist Christ Doherty joined Jerry's Kids on their record "Is This My World?" but Gang Green got back together in '85. Gang Green were one of the fastest bands of their time and that's just how I like my hardcore. This album is probobly my favourite 80's hardcore record and just listen to 'Kill A Commie' and you know what I mean.

Last Lights

R.I.P. Dominic Mallary, 1984-2008

Last Lights was a band from Worchester, Massachussetts. They played fast and very aggressive hardcore. They were one of the most talented hardcore band to have graced this world. At the end of 2007 they released their first album, a demo, wich has been my most played record so far in my life. I was stoked out of my mind on this band and when they finally released a 7" in 2008 i kept on playing and playing, knowing that this was one of the best bands ever and they were just getting started. In December 8th, 2008, lead singer Dominic Mallary suffered from a brain aneurysm due to complications from the show the night before and tragically passed away.
I feel guilty for uploading this but someone told me that this is what Dom would've wanted. To spread the music. Please buy the discography CD including the songs from the 7" and also 3 songs off a split 7" with Bad Habit and if you buy it you get an instrumental track as well. Please buy it.
