Just got this 7″ in the mail from Boston band Libyans, and for us folks still seeking and buying punk rock records, this is a welcome surprise. The two ferocious tunes here remind me of everything I was listening to in the 90s, plus all the earlier bands that influenced them. It is also packaged beautifully in [...]
I’ll be totally up-front and say that I haven’t heard this yet, but considering these bands include members of The Melvins, Murder City Devils, Big Business, and Karp, I’m pretty much sold. Plus there’s the part where they describe it as “hardcore inspired noise rock, or noise rock inspired hardcore” which only further convinces me [...]
I am pretty sure Thou have a metric shit ton of splits coming out soon, so this should just be the first of quite a few. Maybe even several, I hope. This one is a split with Mohoram Atta, who are sounding pretty good to me. Limited to 1000, released jointly by Halo of Flies [...]

In these days of calm, peaceful pre-summer bliss, we all need a little insanity in our lives sometimes. Lucky for us, there’s a new record by Dekalb’s Sick/Tired to spin the shit out of. This stuff will peel your face off, unbelievably intense grind/powerviolence with passion. Beautifully housed in some good old-fashioned metal artwork, this [...]
Crusty riffs and punk-driven hardcore/metal from the dark heart of Cleveland, Ohio. Available for pre-order right now from Halo Of Flies Records for the punk rock price of $12. Southern Lord will be releasing the CD version, but we don’t really care about that version do we? The LP jacket features the inimitable penmanship of [...]
Now that they are finally sending out pre-orders for their Shame anthology, Trash Talk have decided to launch even more pre-orders, this time for their new album Eyes & Nines. Comes on your choice of clear, white or marbled vinyl for $12 – or for the collectors: get all three plus black vinyl for $42. [...]

Deathwish Inc. just put up preorders for two heavy new releases. First up is “The Blackest Curse”, the new album from almost 20 year hardcore veterans, Integrity. The second is “The Sheltering Night”, the newest from Starkweather. Both are single LPs with three different vinyl colors for $12 each. At this point, I don’t think [...]
In addition to the THOU tape listed above, Robotic Empire also just released this awesome new collection of early tunes from Florida’s Capsule. This shit is manic, all over the place mayhem (RE refers to them as “ADD maniacs”), but it’s also great. Kind of like me (har dee fucking har). Anyway, they’ve got three [...]
Refused’s masterpiece album “The Shape Of Punk To Come” has one of the most notoriously shitty vinyl pressings ever. 54 half-assedly-mastered minutes crammed onto one vinyl disc. This was always a shame, since it is also one of the best punk/hardcore/post-everything records of all time. Lucky for all of us, Epitaph has taken it upon [...]
Deathwish finally posts the pre-order for the repress of Jane Doe on April 1st and yet, somehow, it is not an April Fool’s Day joke. This is the real deal. And if it isn’t, then they just April-fooled me out of damn near $50 (cost of 2xLP + t-shirt + shipping). Needless to say, Jane [...]
