A Break From The Blog

2011-03-08T20:33:00.000-08:00

Taking a break from posting on this blog folks. Not shutting it down but don't expect to see any new posts within the next month or two. I've been working hard on a YouTube channel for the last month and plan to continue filling that up. I'll be updating the YouTube channel every few days so feel free to subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/user/InThrashWeCrust

Mammoth Grinder / Hatred Surge split (2011)

2011-02-09T17:12:00.000-08:00

Genre: Crust / Sludge / Powerviolence

I haven't heard many 2011 releases yet so I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions but this has got to be candidate for the best release of the year. One of the heaviest combos I've ever heard. Mammoth Grinder brings a stompier and sludgier approach to this release than their style on Extinction Of Humanity, with much better vocal work. They rerecorded a new version of Societal Collapse from EoH that absolutely shreds along with the other two MG tracks on the split. Hatred Surge is not really my thing but I liked their side as well. Well produced, well played, and extremely heavy powerviolence. All fans of Instinct Of Survival, Nuclear Death Terror, Siege, and Golers NEED to listen to this split.

Mammoth Grinder / Hatred Surge split (2011)

Libyans

2011-01-23T17:16:00.000-08:00

Genre: Punk / Hardcore

Libyans is an energetic female fronted punk band from Boston. Similar in style to Government Warning, Direct Control, and other Richmond, VA hardcore bands. The shining point of this band is definitely Elizabeth's vocals and catchy choruses that stick in your head long after the albums are over. For fans of Richmond, VA style hardcore and White Lung.

Libyans - A Common Place (2010)

Libyans - Welcome To The Neighborhood (2008)

Libyans - Self Titled 7'' (2008)

Thanks to http://icoulddietomorrow.blogspot.com/ for links.

Brain Killer

2011-01-23T16:59:00.000-08:00

Genre: Crust

Its been a while since I've posted any crust so here's some filler. They're not the best crusties on the block but it's some decent stuff to hold you folks over until I find some good 2011 treats. Brain Killer hails from Massachusetts playing a noisy style of crust that sounds kind of like a gross combination of nailbombs exploding and a bad recording of the Obscene Extreme Festival. Decent for fans of Driller Killer, Pisschrist, Anti Cimex, Wrathcobra, and Extinction Of Mankind.

Brain Killer - Demo + Self Titled 7'' (2008)

Cult Ritual - LP1 (2009)

2011-01-17T16:47:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore

Interesting one here. Cult Ritual broke up last year and left us with this beautiful piece of hardcore. Not much else to say since I can't much info on this band and I just found them recently. The album is fairly short, maybe 25 minutes to half an hour, some songs are unusually long while others don't even break a minute. Good shit for fans of Slices, Confines, Pissed Jeans, Ceremony, Empty Vessel, Socialcide, and Poison Idea.

Cult Ritual - LP1 (2009)

Slices

2011-01-15T19:37:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore / Noise Punk

Oh man, what a find. Slices is a noisy hardcore band from Pittsburgh that should, if you frequent this blog, make you smile ear to ear. They've got two 7's (both with the same title) and a full length that are sure to give you the best migraine headache you've ever had. A must for fans of Pissed Jeans, Pisschrist, Natural Law, Empty Vessel, Life Trap, and Drunkdriver.

Slices - Self Titled 7'' (2009)

FEAR

2011-01-15T13:02:00.000-08:00

Genre: Punk

Fear is an American punk band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1977, and is still active today. Credited for helping to shape the sound and style of American hardcore punk. the band started out as part of the early California punk rock scene, and gained national prominence after an infamous 1981 performance on Saturday Night Live. Possibly on of the most offensive bands of their time.

Fear - The Record (1982)

Fear - Have Another Beer With Fear (1995)

Acid Reflux

2010-12-22T13:17:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore / Punk

Acid Reflux is an energetic band from Albany, New York playing fast, old school, and top notch hardcore in the same vein as Nightstick Justice, Socialcide, Wasted Time, and Direct Control. They currently have three EP's all kicking the same amount as the one before it. Check em out.

Acid Reflux - Self Titled EP (2006)

Acid Reflux - Secret Power EP (2007)

Acid Reflux - Moves EP (2010)

Mammoth Grinder - Extinction Of Humanity (2009)

2010-12-19T22:22:00.000-08:00

Genre: Crust / Death Metal

Been a while since I've posted anything really heavy, so here it is. Mammoth Grinder is an ultra heavy wall of sound from Austin, Texas playing extremely dark crust / metal in the same vein as Instinct Of Survival and Nuclear Death Terror. Probably the closest thing to death metal you'll ever catch me posting. Just found these guys a few nights ago, I saw the amazing album artwork poking around online and had to check it out. Good choice, definitely a good listen for fans of Instinct Of Survival, Nuclear Death Terror, or even Obituary.

Mammoth Grinder - Extinction Of Mankind (2009)

Token Entry

2010-12-12T14:39:00.000-08:00

Genre: Old School Hardcore

Just got recommended these folks on allmetalforums, nothing like a bit of old school hardcore. Token Entry formed in Queens, NY back in 1980 and released two killer full lengths in the last half of the decade. The thrash influence is very evident throughout their discography, more so on Jaybird than From Beneath The Streets. Later, Dr. Know, previous guitarist of Bad Brains, would join up and produce The Weight Of The World, which had a fair bit more funk influence than Token Entry's earlier releases, but that album has no place on this blog. Great band for fans of Raw Power, Bad Brains, Criminal Damage, Minor Threat, Suicidal Tendencies, and Nuclear Assault.

Token Entry - From Beneath The Streets (1987)

Token Entry - Jaybird (1988)

Empty Vessel - Empty Vessel 7'' (2010)

2010-12-12T13:17:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore / Punk

Empty Vessel are a creative three piece band from Portland, OR that draw influence from nearly all styles of hardcore. This is quite a debut, in fact I haven't heard a debut this good in a long time. The tracks rarely break the 1 minute mark here. Great production. This release is easily competing for my favorite release of 2010. All fans of Direct Control, Government Warning, Minutemen, Black Flag, Poison Idea, A Global Threat, Criminal Damage, Confines, Citizen's Patrol, Autistic Youth, My Dog's A Cat, Raw Power, Severed Head Of State, Social Circkle, Socialcide, and Unruled NEED to listen to this.

Empty Vessel - Empty Vessel 7'' (2010)

Sex Vid

2010-12-09T22:29:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore

Does the vocalist sound as drunk as he looks? Pretty damn close. Sex Vid is a hardcore band from Washington state with members residing in Seattle and Olympia. Nothing too special here, just straight up mid tempo hardcore with some noticeable thrash influence. Good dirty production and shitty tattoos. Good for fans of Natural Law and Manipulation.

Sex Vid - Communal Living (2008)

Sex Vid - Tania 7'' (2007)

Criminal Damage

2010-12-07T20:02:00.000-08:00

Genre: Street Punk

Old school punk done right with a certain charm to it. Fairly clichéd punk lyrics but it doesn't take away from the tunes. A little Motorhead influence showing up occasionally throughout both of their full lengths but Criminal Damage tends to be pretty friendly tunage. Good easy listening old school brand punk. Drummer of His Hero Is Gone / Tragedy plays guitar and fronts this band. Good for fans of A Global Threat, Insomnio, Discharge, and Motorhead.

Criminal Damage - No Solution (2007)

Criminal Damage - Self Titled LP (2006)

Violent Arrest

2010-12-06T21:17:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore / Punk

Straight up hardcore punk in the vein of "Beat The Bastards" era Exploited from England. Featuring ex-members of Ripcord, Heresy, Can't Decide, Excrement Of War, Screamer, Bombblastmen, and even The Varukers. Somewhat of a hardcore punk super group yet somehow fairly unheard of. Two full lengths, one from 06 and one from this year. Stylistically they are almost identical, the production is a bit more polished on Minute Manifestos, a bit too polished.

Violent Arrest - Violent Arrest LP (2006)

Violent Arrest - Minute Manifestos (2010)

Direct Control - Bucktown Hardcore (2010)

2010-12-05T20:28:00.001-08:00

Genre: Hardcore / Punk

Tankcrimes has decided to release a collection of Direct Control demos all on one LP. Nothing new here if you have heard both You're Controlled and Nuclear Tomorrow, just interesting early recordings of the songs. Great for fans of Wasted Time, Government Warning, Southside Stranglers, and every other mind busting Richmond, VA hardcore band.

Direct Control - Bucktown Hardcore (2010)

Natural Law

2010-12-05T17:35:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore

No doubt my favorite hardcore of 2010. This band will rip your ear drums apart, calling them intense would be an understatement. Sounds like a sick combination of Nightstick Justice and Socialcide pushed to the extremes. The production on both releases is great. Very dirty and very heavy.

Natural Law - Slump 7 (2010)

Natural Law - Spring Trash [Casette] (2010)

Socialcide

2010-12-05T17:25:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore

Extremely frantic hardcore from of course, Virginia. Think Natural Law meets Direct Control. GO! STOP! GO! STOP! GO! STOP! STOP! GO! FUCK!

Socialcide - Sick Of The Pressure EP (2007)

Socialcide - Unapproachable (2008)

Southside Stranglers

2010-12-05T17:10:00.000-08:00

Genre: Garage Punk / Hardcore

Richmond, VA has to be the best source of hardcore punk I've ever seen. The list goes on: Government Warning, Wasted Time, Direct Control, Municipal Waste, and now Southside Stranglers. Take Kenny of GW, Brandon of GW and Direct Control, and some other drunk dudes and you've got Southside Stranglers. What do they sound like? Imagine Elvis Presley on every drug imaginable trying to front Poison Idea. "Too Much TV" is a heavy competitor for my favorite release of this year so far, check it out for sure.

Southside Stranglers - Too Much TV 7'' (2010)

Southside Stranglers - Strangle You 7'' (2010)

Vile Gash - Vile Gash 7'' (2010)

2010-12-05T16:57:00.000-08:00

Genre: Hardcore / Crust

War Ripper meets Nightstick Justice. Ferocious dark hardcore from Columbus, OH. Very dirty production in the same vein as War Ripper's old Hell Storm EP. Songs rarely break the 1 minute mark excluding the plodding outro.

Vile Gash - Vile Gash 7'' (2010)

Zero Progress - Derailed 7'' (2010)

2010-12-05T16:47:00.001-08:00

Genre: Hardcore / Crossover

Very aggressive hardcore from Danville, CA. Nothing new here, just the same old GO! STOP! GO! STOP! hardcore in the vein of Black Flag, Nightstick Justice, Acid Reflux, DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, and Double Negative. Nothing bad to say about this release, check it out, it's good shit.

Zero Progress - Derailed 7'' (2010)

White Lung

2010-12-05T16:39:00.000-08:00

Genre: Punk

White Lung is a four piece punk band from Vancouver, BC playing a fairly unique brand of punk. It would be quite difficult for me to compare them to anything else I've posted on the blog as this is probably the lightest band I've posted. If any of you bothered to check out the last Insomnio album "No Escape" you may have a slight idea of what to expect here. White Lung is like the female version of Insomnio but with a much more unique sound. The guitars and vocals are definitely the stand-outs on White Lung's releases. The guitars tend to take on a sort of surf punk sound much like what the Dead Kennedy's and The Clash did decades ago. Most of you will probably hate this band and wonder what the fuck is happening to my music taste but I thought I would post it for the sake of having something different up.

White Lung - It's The Evil LP (2010)

White Lung - Magazines 7'' (2008)

Insomnio - No Escape (2007)

2010-11-24T22:32:00.000-08:00

Genre: Punk

Compared to what I normally post, this album is a step in a slightly different direction. Normally I don't get much out of punk lacking noisy hardcore influence but this band is different, they really stick out from the rest. The vocals are what really caught my attention, not totally sure why, they just have a certain charm to them. The drumming is also superb, really keeps the band going. Spanish punkers Insomnio won't leave fans of Government Warning and A Global Threat disappointed. Extremely catchy and comforting punk.
