Antisocial Death March.



I'm posting this at the request of the man/myth/legend/alcoholic Rich Horror, because the band is apparently almost completely sold out of copies

"Drunk Edge Thrashcore" (that means a concoction of hardcore, street punk, thrash, crust, and lots and lots of booze in layman's terms) out of Somerville, MA featuring current and ex members of It Will End In Pure Horror, Cold Northern Vengeance, Cursed For Eternity, Noosebomb, and Composted... SHUT UP AND DRINK

Cyclical Consumption.



here is a 7-song cassette of the powerviolence band Coerced out of Allston, MA... Tom from the band Damages played drums on this recording... this comes highly recommended since I've been jamming out on it almost nonstop for the past week and a half or so... great stuff

Interesting grind from northern Virginia featuring Rich of Enemy Soil

crazy Australian hardcore/powerviolence... there must be something in the water down under... between these guys, Captain Cleanoff, Extortion, and Agents of Abhorrence, there's a ton of fast, angry music coming from that country

There Were Wires.



There Were Wires was a somewhat short-lived, but extremely influential band that formed in Martha's Vineyard, MA, but eventually moved to Boston proper before they split up... at times chaotic, at other times sludgy, sometimes even ambient, TWW had a good amount of creativity for the time (late 90s - early 00s)... members went on to the bands Doomriders and Disappearer... this is there self-titled full length, which includes a live set they did on Emerson College's now-deceased Nasty Habits radio show

Indifference.



straight edge hardcore/powerviolence from Chicago, here is their 7" that came out on Underestimated Records back in March... awesome stuff

the new 108

is it just me, or are they angrier in their older age? especially the first track on this... when i first turned this on, the speed and anger was shocking

oh well, listen for yourself

Dry Heave.



a new Boston hardcore band not unlike the style that Pulling Teeth plays... breakdowns, thrashy parts, and angry lyrics... what more do you want?
