CEREMONY - Violence Violence

I'm taking a late pass on this band. I dont know why i havent listened to this band earlier. I always heard kids on messageboards talk about them. but i usually tend to shrug off most of the "newer hardcore" bands.

Hailing from the Bay area, this is one pissed off band. And I LOVE IT!
If Black Flag and Integrity had a bastard love child i think it would be CEREMONY.
Crank this album up and break some dishes, furniture, or throw light bulbs against the wall.

Death Wish Kids - Discography

this contains the 7" and their demo.


The Death Wish Kids spanned from 1994-1996 Releasing only one 7’’ entitled There’s Nothing in School They Can’t Teach you on the Street, then later releasing a demo 7’‘. Their amazing power and ferocity were off the map, truly one of the most aggressive bands of all time.

Members went on to Area 51, Pretty Girls Make Graves, and Golden Ticket.

The Evil Queens - Lovesong Werewolves

With three previous albums under their belts, a distinct lack of fluffy ballads, and full-blown bar band bombast, The Evil Queens’ latest, Lovesong Werewolves is chock full of pulsing, chugging guitars that three-chord their way through lo-fi landscapes. Steadfast drumming rolls behind lead singer Jacob Sundermeyer’s impassioned alternations between lyrical droning and impassioned screaming. More substance over style, The Evil Queens may find their brand of guitar-heavy, cerebral groove rock that finds its niche with a whiskey-swigging, hipster intellectual crowd.
This is some awesome rock and roll from Columbus, Ohio. Give it a listen.

Death From Above 1979 - Heads Up EP

i really miss this band. i'm a big fan of bass/drum duos - nowadays there's many bands in that vein but DFA got in on the ground floor in my opinion. this was their first EP, definitely leaning way more towards the rock side of things as compared to their more well-known full-length which got a little too "dancey" at times. some of the tracks on it wound up on a few car commercials i think... you could kind of see where they were going since after that they broke up and one of the dudes went on to form MSTRKRFT. kind of a shame considering the guy made his bass sound like a howitzer of ass-shaking grooves.

put this shit on at your next party and prepare for high-fives.

ABNEGATION & CHAPTER split

LAKE EFFECT HARDCORE!

Abnegation was a hard-, metal-, death-, grind-core band from Erie, Pennsylania that played thoughout the 90's. The band began as a vision of Jason 'Iggy' Imig & Paul Nowoczynski as a vehicle to showcase their hard-line vegan straight-edge politics. Passionate & explosive live & on their recordings, Abnegation devastated fans all over the United States & the rest of world. Their lyrics & music, delivered with anger, urgency & a brutal kind of desperation, became an alter for expressing their strong opinions on issues such as animal rights, abortion, veganism, environmentalism, & drug abuse. Their intensity & energy were an intoxicating spectacle to see & hear.

3 songs from Cleveland Fest 1996


for the life of me, i cannot remember any info on chapter.

"Totally Fucking The 80's"

I've been listening to a bunch of old compilation cd's lately, so I'll probably be posting a few. Totally Fucking The 80's is yet another one of those comps with mid to late 90's punk and ska bands covering 80's songs. This one rules particularly hard, however. You've got Hot Water Music covering John Mellancamp, Nobodys covering The J. Geils Band, Discount covering R.E.M. and plenty others. That Nobodys cover absolutely rules.

Silent Majority "Life Of A Spectator"

Out of all of the bands to come out of Long Island, New York, Silent Majority are one of my absolute favorites. Without these guys, Crime In Stereo, who are easily my favorite band still active probably wouldn't exist. Melodic hardcore with an intensely emotional side, (for proof just check out the lyrics to "Spoken Words") I feel like the band pretty much did melodic hardcore better than anyone else at the time.

Singer Tommy Corrigan went on to front another band following Silent Majority, Blood Red, and currently sings for the band Capital.

Also, for anyone interested, my friend Chris has recently put up live video footage of both Blood Red and Silent Majority on his blog, longislandhardcoreshows.wordpress.com. Capital footage will be up by month's end!

that Sunlight Studio sound...

there's just something completely unique and identifiable when it comes to swedish death metal.

the bass sound on this album is without peer... thick and rich enough to be poured on pancakes while still jarring and buzzing enough to where your guts'll feel like Zeus himself is stomping your neighborhood into non-existence.

try 'Tide of Blood' on for size and make a bet with yourself to not raise the invisible chalice by the end of the first solo. it's a bet you're gonna lose.

Phoenix Bodies - Raise the Bullshit Flag

Captain Guyliner here, back again to keep you up on all the freshest trends...

so it's 2009, the holidays are behind us, everyone's awash in the glowing positivity that comes with the new year... but let's not forget the simple truth: shit sucks. no matter how good it gets, there's always something waiting in the hedges to give you a swift kick in the groceries and send you home wishing painful slow death upon your enemies.

what i'm doing by introducing you to Phoenix Bodies is basically enabling you to beat the bullshit to the punch. so the next time your boss clips you with a surprise weekend shift, or some sporto with a popped collar calls you a dirty word, you can put on your headphones, close your eyes, fire up this motherfucker, and picture yourself firing a gatling gun into traffic, Jesse Ventura style.

you'll feel better... i promise.

Off With Their Heads

Although I'm not particularly fond of the band name, this is a great release.

If we're not counting the singles/rarities/whatever collection All Things Move Toward Their End, From The Bottom is the first true full-length from OWTH and it's a strong and focused collection of gruff, melodic, Midwestern punk that one would come to expect from this band. Much of OWTH's sound is reliant on catchy melodies, huge choruses (though I use the term loosely) that were seemingly written specifically for a bunch of beer-and-sweat-soaked, bearded dudes to scream along to, and Ryan Young's gravelly vocals. It's pretty incredible how a band this gruff can lay down songs with guitar parts and vocal harmonies that stick in one's head for days, a fact made more amazing by how seamlessly these parts fit into the entire scope of a song. The lead guitar parts in both "Wrong" and "Until The Day...", as well as the bounciness of "1612 Havenhurst" and "For The Four" are Pop-Punk 101 for example, but there's nothing here that sounds contrived, fake or thank god, mainstream.

There are some unique moments on From The Bottom that find the band branching out to the nether regions of their sound. "Go On Git Now" is a mid-tempo tune built around a minimal refrain that features clean singing over a guitar part that twinkles without sounding too crisp. The crunch behind "Fuck This, I'm Out" is almost Weezer-esque (when they were good) and the drum-heavy intro of closer "I Hope You Know" does a nice job of building anticipation for when the song really kicks into gear, and the payoff once it does is satisfying.

Young's lyrical path of self-loathing and hopelessness continues here, such as in "I Am You" (originally found on the band's split with Practice, re-recorded here) where Young sings, 'I'll tell you why I hate my fucking life and I'll tell you why I can't seem to get it right / I'll tell you why I entertain the thought of dying all the time." and "1612 Havenhurst" (originally found on the band's split with Blotto, also re-recorded here) showcases similar feelings: "Just when I think it might not be so bad, it always kicks back and tells me where I stand." And the main line in "Until The Day..." that's sure to elicit many sloppy sing-alongs in the future is "Until the day I die I fucking swear I'm gonna make your life as miserable as mine."

However, much of the second half of From The Bottom show Young's less sardonic, more apologetic and regretful side. In "Self Check Out" he sings "It's killing me, because I think you're there for me / When I realize you're not, it's back to despair," and the lyrics in "Ten Years Trouble" Young portrays himself as being particularly vulnerable: "Please don't slam the door. I never meant to hurt you / I've gotten in a lot of trouble in the last ten years / I'm always in pain and almost always in tears."

One of this biggest gripes about this record I've read from fans is how 'clean' it sounds. And while From The Bottom undoubtedly has a far superior-sounding recording compared to anything else in the band's catalogue, I wouldn't necessarily refer to it as clean or slick.

If OWTH aren't cut out for working, I can't say it's a bad thing when the by-product of that is something as awesome as this record. Highly recommended.

Los Crudos - Discography

I had the pleasure of seeing this band for the first time sometime in 1993 at some festival in Dayton, Ohio. I originally went to see Fifteen and Propagandhi and ended up seeing this band. They fucking slayed me. I don't think i was ever the same after watching this bands set. The raw emotion from the music and lyrics (even though they were sung in Spanish), sent chills down my spine.

I later saw them at Speak In Tongues here in Cleveland, Ohio at another small fest. and eventually caught them for the last time at More Than Music Fest in Columbus, Ohio in 1995. This is one band that gets me pumped up no matter what.

SLINT - Spiderland

This is probably my favorite "Indie Rock" record of all time. Spiderland is Slint's 2nd release and first release on TOUCH AND GO RECORDS. You'd be a fool for not owning this on vinyl.

The music of Spiderland is noted for its angular guitar rhythms, dramatically alternating dynamic shifts, and irregular time signatures. McMahan's singing style interchanges between mumbling spoken word and strained shouting. The lyrics of Spiderland are often written in a narrative style. Influences on the record included Gang of Four, Black Sabbath, and Sonic Youth.

track listing:

1. "Breadcrumb Trail" – 5:55
2. "Nosferatu Man" – 5:35
3. "Don, Aman" – 6:28
4. "Washer" – 8:50
5. "For Dinner..." – 5:05
6. "Good Morning, Captain" – 7:38
