Victory At Sea "Carousel"

Here's a fun fact regarding this band but really doesn't have much to do with this band: I met Rye via the totally sweet makeoutclub website nearly a decade ago over our common love for this band. Internet indie rock geeks unite? Shut up.

I used to work with their bass player Mel. He was awesome.

This may be the most depressing record I own next to GY!BE records. This was originally put out on the Dischord imprint label Slowdime, but re-pressed by Kimchee Records shortly after Slowdime had folded. Listen to "The Blizzard of '78". My favorite track on the album. This is recommended listening for somber rainy/snowy days for sure. I used to ride the trains in Boston during snow storms listening to this record. Way awesome.

P.S. This was put on megaupload instead of mediafire because I'm not giving mediafire one red cent of my money and it was too big to host there on their free plan.

Scarlet - Breaking The Dead Stare ep

For some reason, I dont think this is the right cover for this EP. Maybe that one os from the re-issue? Who knows.

This EP is the band's first release. Released on Tribunal Records in 2000. This EP is fucking sick. Metal, Metal, and more fucking Metal. If you have not heard this EP, but have heard the rest of the bands material, you will be surprised on how different this EP is from the rest.

It's nothing groundbreaking. it not your typical metal-core chugga chugga bullshit. The dudes vocals are fucking sick. Evil Evil Evil.

KUMITE - demo

i found this demo from the band KUMITE. They were a band from Gainesville, Florida. I don't have the cover for this cd, i remember them giving me the demo when they played Cleveland Fest. They game up to play the show with Gunmoll and Army of Ponch. I remember these dudes being fucking nice as hell. And i can't remember for the life of me what other bands they were in, but i know they played in other G'Ville, bands.

give it a whirl and enjoy. if you know any more info, please post it.

Blue Skies Burning - Last Leg of My First Race

I don't like writing reviews. This band fucking ruled. Blue Skies Burning was from Toledo, Ohio. They played music of the "screamo" variety. My friend Mike G did the artwork for this album. Our old band played shows with them. They fucking rule. Did I mention that they rule?

Saves The Day "Through Being Cool Sessions"

I'm not sure if I'm the only poster on this blog who likes this band, but hopefully someone reading likes them! Basically this is the band goofing around in the studio, playing songs from Can't Slow Down, and Through Being Cool. It's a really fun listen, and is really cool, because it almost has kind of a vibe like you're hanging out, listening to the band practice. I got this off of a fan site a few years back. It's a regular listen for me. Hopefully people enjoy this!

Wrangler Brutes - Zulu

This one is for Rye, because I know he likes Born Against as much as I do.

"Boasting members from Born Against, Nazti Skins, and Men’s Recovery Project, Wrangler Brutes wax nostalgic for the west coast thrash/punk of Suicidal Tendencies and The Vandals, all while incorporating some common influences – Aggression and Hell Awaits era Slayer - with some uncommon ones – most notably the angular guitar style of the Magic Band’s Zoot Horn Rollo.
West Coast thrash is a genre defined by its breakneck drumming, throat punishing vocals, and sprinting guitar lines. Wrangler Brutes behave accordingly, adding bits of humor here and there with vocal cameos from ex-Circle Jerk Keith Morris, and Circus Lupus howler Chris Thomson. These moments do little to empower the music, distracting instead from the inventive guitar work - Stewart Voegtlin"

Zeke/Disfear split 7"

This is a split between two bands that don't really fit together on a split.... or maybe they do. It was part of the Relapse singles series and I think it has been repressed a few times.
The first side is by Zeke, who are one of my favorite bands. Satan, drug infused, fuzzy rock and roll from Tacoma, Washington. Toned out rock... dirty and fast like it is supposed to be done.
The second side is from Disfear. Tomas Lindberg.... what more do I need to say? These songs are a little more rock compared to their usual D-beat style, but very good nonetheless.

Get It.

Deflesuary - Promo 2008

This is a little outfit from Lancaster, PA. What do I know about Lancaster, PA? I know that it is home to my hillbilly heritage, the Pennsylvania Dutch. It is also home to a lot of fucking Amish. This release is not by the Amish, but by 4 dudes who can turn out the death/grind/metal in a great way.
While this is only 3 songs, it is fucking brootal. Old school death gutteral awesomeness.
This also includes a cover of Integrity's "Abraxas Annihilation" which is a total plus in my book.

Absu - Tara

The Short: Blackened Thrash out of Texas

The Long: this is the sound of demons loading up on trucker speed and raging all night in a hotel room on the surface of a comet hurtling around the sun at 350,000 miles per hour. holy fucking hell this album is fast. both the guitar shredding and the drums are in a neck-and-neck race to see who can break the sanity barrier, however i have to award Sir Proscriptor for driving me to curl up in the fetal position on my couch due to too much exposure to sheer double-bass punishment of the most fiendish degree. you might think that an album built around such a confounding amount of speed and complexity would get "same-y" or exhausting, but i think what sets 'Tara' apart (and into Instant Classic territory) is that the attention paid to each riff, each vocal phrasing, and each blistering fill results in recognizable song structures and not just moments in which your brain can grasp onto a 4/4 time signature before the band speeds off into Nonsense Town again. there's even a much-appreciated acoustic guitar respite on track 11, giving your soul a chance to stop bleeding for 90 seconds before being thrown back into Satan's Cuisanart once again.

these otherworldly beings will be playing Maryland Deathfest in May and also have a new album coming out in a few months. good stuff to know, however i prefer to not think of Absu as just a band and rather a time in which hell's minions decided to try out "what the humans call heavy metal", resulting in 13 songs of such a deific supremacy that mere mortals can only shudder in their wake.

Tiltwheel "Sister Series" 7"

Ok, so I'm just going to outright say that Tiltwheel has rapidly become one of my favorite bands ever. Probably one of my favorite pop punk/power pop? bands ever.

This 7" is part of a series of 7"s called the "Sister Series". The idea is to do sort of a split idea, but on two separate 7"s (in this case, the other 7" is done by Toys That Kill), and even have each band cover one of the other band's songs on their 7". It's pretty rad.

First song is one of the most positive and awesome songs about friendship ever. I love it.

I shouldn't even have to tell you that you should buy this. Fucking go buy it. it's mad cheap and it's available from the following places as well as the Toys That Kill portion! Buy the fucker from these places:

Accident Prone
Little Type (this is where i ordered it!)

Dinky Licker.

Bluetip "Join Us"

I fucking love Bluetip. Ex-Swiz? Fuck yeah. Too bad like all the greats, these guys called it a day.

It's got that trademark 90's Dischord sound. At least to me. Great songs with no bullshit and no filler. Is it bad that I listen to more shit from the 90's than I do this decade?

I gotta get ahold of that EP they put out on Slowdime.

If you like this, get it from Dischord.

Dead Lift.

Bitter Tongues "Clovis"

You know how most bands say "we're influenced by/sound like Quicksand, man!" and then you listen to them and find out it's total bullshit? That's not how it goes with this. These dudes sound legit like Quicksand. A more pissed off Quicksand. Which is awesome.

Fuck the label it was put out on, though. I'll probably get sued for posting this even though the label and band both aren't even operating anymore. Maybe I'll get sued less cause they're my buds and I want to spread good jams that a shit label sat on and did nothing for? It's better than no promotion. My old band was supposed to do a split with these dudes but it never came to be since both bands seemingly just ate shit and broke up.

If you dig it, message the band on their myspace and see if they have copies. I urge you to give the band your money, and not the profiteering shits that clutter the independent music community.

Elephant Man - Self Titled EP

I don't know much about this band. I don't know the history, the members, the cool limited edition color vinyl, the broads they've banged..... nothing.

I heard them on a comp off 625 Thrash awhile ago and they were just one of those bands that stood out to me.

Blistering hardcore with slower riff heavy parts. Vocals that will make your balls drop. Do your homework.

Nice Black Flag cover too.

Extreme Noise Terror - Law of Retaliation

new album from the UK grind outfit. definitely seems like more of a stripped-down throwback sound compared to "Being and Nothing", which is what originally got me into these guys in the first place. they definitely decided to go with more sampled intros this time around, which i'm always a fan of. the intro to "Low Life" especially brings a smile to my face.

i'm running out of descriptive things to say, pretty disappointing for my first post. if you like fucking grind, you probably already know about ENT, and probably already snagged this. keep it brutal.

Freewill "Almost Again"

I don't know a whole lot about Freewill as a band. I found out about them a year or so ago on the Dag Nasty website, Daghouse.com. I know they're from Southern California, and gigged around the SoCal area from 1988, up until their breakup. I would tell you when that was, but any info on this band is hard to come by, it seems. The band is basically an even more melodic, West Coast version of Dag Nasty. I don't know how Dischord missed out on putting this out, to be honest.

Originally, this was supposed to be released on Wishingwell Records as an LP. For whatever reason, while plates, and I believe even test pressings were made, the record never saw the light of day. Somewhere along the line, German label Lost & Found records acquired and bootlegged the album on CD. With Lost & Found being based in Germany, they don't have the best distro, so even on CD this is still a difficult find.

A great release for any melodic hardcore fan, especially fans of Dag Nasty who will probably love this. "Disappear Here" is the standout track on here, without a doubt.

Anodyne/Keelhaul Split 7"

This 7" was put out in around 2002. If you don't know these bands by now, shame on you.

Keelhaul is Cleveland fucking legend, man. Most of you who read this are from Ohio. Get into it. This song has guest vocals from Joe from Craw, another great band.

Anodyne was a band that started out in Boston, and ended up in New York, with a vast catalogue of releases on labels such as Level Plane, Escape Artist, Alone Records, and a slew of others. Abrasive "noise core?" I guess people called it. It's all metal to me. They do a Throbbing Gristle Cover on this.

This is still available from the label who put it out. It's only 3 fucking dollars. If you liked it and want to make a better rip of it than I did, GO FUCKING BUY IT.

Rye Wolves - Oceans of Delicate Rain

RYE WOLVES hail from the murky depths of the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA. 'Oceans of Delicate Rain' is their first full length recording and showcases the band's extraordinary talents at songwriting and musicianship across all that is heavy. From canyons of psyched out doom into stratospheric bottom heavy spacerock, RYE WOLVES traverse a globe swathed in oceans of discordant metal and mountains of math rock.
Being only three strong, RYE WOLVES is truly a group effort with all members equally contributing to the crushing audio barrage. RYE WOLVES are one of those rare bands who manage to both challenge and entertain the listener by turns. From the ferocious opener 'Frank Miller' to the subtle menace of 'Blood Moon' and on to the epic 11 minute plus 'No Matter' that closes the album, RYE WOLVES bring a mixed palette of the ultra heavy with complex and demanding sounds and time signatures, and a living breathing vitality of essence.
With mastering duties provided by audio genius James Plotkin, 'Oceans of Delicate Rain' shreds speakers and buries nations under its epic, monumental sound.

This has been on repeat for me all day. One of the top releases for 2008. Think Pelican if they made better, heavier music and had really fucking awesome vocals (case in point, track 3: Precipice).

House On Fire "Demo EP"

House On Fire were a really great punk band from Gainesville, Florida. The band featured members of Discount, Panthro U.K. United 13, The Draft, Army of Ponch, and Unitas. Basically, the lineup was a No Idea Records fan's wet dream. I got this demo from the guy who was doing The Draft's Merch when I saw them. It's 6 tracks of super solid hardcore punk rock. Oh also, the singer of this band, Alex Ulloa, formed Black Cougar Shock Unit not longer after House On Fire's breakup. Reccomended for fans of stuff that doesn't suck.

Heard some of the newer tunes on their myspace, but I like these way more. Here you go. As always, if you like it, buy it.

Palehorse "Habitual Linestepper" EP

All Bass/Drums/Vocals from this UK based band. Love this stuff. Their LP they put out prior to this is amazing as well.

Emperor "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk"

I'm not some black metal connoisseur or anything, nor do I care to be, but I can safely say that this is my favorite Emperor record. So listen to it or don't.

I remember being in high school and seeing all the fucking loser twerp dickheads wearing Emperor shirts so I put off listening to this band for the longest time. It seemed that people who liked Emperor at the time also liked Insane Clown Posse, so at the time I was turned off from it. Later on I just realized that everyone has musical tastes that make me want to shit fire on someone's face.

BOY SETS FIRE - This Crying, This Screaming, My Voice is Being Born (Magic Bullet 1997)

This six song ep is Boy Sets Fire's first debut and the first release on Magic Bullet Records.

While only six songs long, the album packs emotion, power, politics, and aggression into each second. Song topics include education, political parties, corruption in politics, and more

No matter what the approach, the songs are endearing and for 1997 they marked a radical change in how many approached the hardcore sound, picking up where many bands like Endpoint and Split Lip left off and taking things to the next level.

UK based Neurosis/Isis/Cult of Luna styled stuff. This is their 2nd EP, which features my favorite Bossk song.

These guys recently called it quits but have all of their collected releases (2 EP's and a dvd I believe...) as part of a 3 disc box set. so if you dig this, I strongly urge you go pick that up.

RFTC, the followup to their major-label debut Scream, Dracula, Scream. After all, diversity isn't Rocket from the Crypt's bag -- they just love rock & roll, baby, and all of the sleaze, leather, booze, bikes and babes that come with it. Before, they kept raw by producing their own records, but here they hired an outside producer in Kevin Shirley, who previously worked with Journey. There's not a trace of Journey on RFTC, but Shirley has given the band a bigger, glossier sound that may distress longtime followers, who were into the whole MC5/Stooges/Stones biker vibe of the earlier albums.

Goatsnake - Trampled Under Hoof

Although this is an EP, only three of the disc’s five tracks are new. From the sludge that hits you on the first note of “Portraits of Pain,” it is clear that Goatsnake is moving away from simple stoner rock and into something much heavier. Anderson’s guitar is tuned down into the realm of muck and mire. As with previous releases, Pete Stahl’s vocals are perfect for this type of music - completely intelligible, but solid. “Black Cat Bone” picks up the pace a bit before progressing into the nine-minute epic “Juniors Jam.” The faint strains of a harmonica coupled with animal sounds near the end of the song serves as a nice break before the two covers on the EP.

Neither of the cover songs are new - they are just a bit harder to come by in the Goatsnake catalogue. Both were recorded with the band’s original lineup still intact. Up first is a cover of Saint Vitus’ “Burial at Sea” which also appeared on the group’s split with Burning Witch from 2000. The tastiest offering on Trampled Under Hoof is easily “Hot Rod” - a cover of a Black Oak Arkansas song from 1973’s Raunch & Roll Live. This gem is probably unknown by younger fans, but Goatsnake created an absolutely stellar rendition for their final track.

The Replacements "Tim" Re-Issue

Here's my first post. No introductions to this band should ever be needed.

This is, however, one of those new fangled re-issue discs that has a bunch of "previously unreleased stuff" (though a bigger MATS fan tells me none of this is really anything new). There's an acoustic outtake of "Can't Hardly Wait" with different lyrics that absolutely floors me every single time I hear it. Enjoy!

dl. right now.

Hot Snakes - Thunder Down Under

The formula for the Hot Snakes’ Thunder Down Under is pretty simple: Take all the band’s best songs, shift them into overdrive, and play them as tightly as possible for a live session on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

In the relatively short lifespan of the Hot Snakes, John Reis of Rocket from the Crypt and Drive Like Jehu’s Eric Froberg were one of the most potent duos in music. The two were the driving force behind the band’s immaculate style of hardcore garage punk, and their collective genius shines through on the live radio performance. From “Braintrust” to “Hi-Lites” to “Retrofit,” the band relentlessly pounds through their high-intensity songs nearly flawlessly.

Froberg walks a seamless line between snotty melodic yelling, and unchained emotion. The band hits their peak with the mesmerizing “Plenty for All,” with dreamy guitar playing juxtaposed against pounding drums and Froberg’s shouts of “Southern California, let's go! There's room for us all.” Thunder Down Under also offers up two songs not on their full-lengths, “U.S. Mint” and the impromptu off-key “Rock N’ Roll Will Never Die,” the one track that doesn’t perfectly hit home.

The only problem with Thunder Down Under is that it was released posthumously, and the music community is no longer graced with the Hot Snakes’ presence. Even so, Thunder Down Under is a fitting end to a band who deserves every bit of success and acclaim they received, and should have gotten more. As long as this disc is available, we can be certain that it’s true: “rock 'n’ roll will never die."

Early Man - Closing In

Just a couple of dudes from Columbus, Ohio thrashing their way through vintage metal. Nods to Iron Maiden, voice like Ozzy. Nothing over the top, but a fun listen.

Fifth Hour Hero - Not Revenge...Just a Vicious Crush (No Idea Records)

Prior to this release, Fifth Hour Hero's music reeked of potential like a motorcycle that'd been shipped in parts. The individual pieces were flashy enough when unassembled, but the whole wasn't ready to take off and roar on its own. Well, on Not Revenge... Just a Vicious Crush, it appears the Canadian quartet have done some assembly work: They've welded the bright-eyed abandon of Discount to the romantic melancholia of 24 Hour Revenge Therapy-era Jawbreaker, and powered it all with the stratospheric, we-die-together euphoria of Hot Water Music circa No Division. The result is a seamless combination of male/female melodies, and a wide-open musical throttle that roars on its own fuel from the first note and doesn't stop.
