Singer/songwriter Derek Archambault is no stranger to the spotlight; he has spent the last four years on tour with progressive hardcore/punk band Defeater and has had a solo project called Alcoa going for even longer. "Drowned" is a two-song teaser for "Bone & Marrow," the forthcoming debut full-length by Alcoa. Expect country-tinged pop sensibilities on "Bone & Marrow," full of songs about life, love and regret, and sit tight with these two tracks in the meantime. 7" includes digital download.
"So, You Are A Magician?" is the latest offering from Philadelphia, PA's Blacklisted. Representing the first new recordings from the band in over two years, the three songs on this EP vary in style and influence from early Bad Brains to Exploited to Nirvana to Life Of Agony. Containing a more stripped-down sound and less instrumentation than their last LP, "No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me," "So, You Are A Magician?" is sure to please any current Blacklisted fan and probably win some new ones. 7" includes digital download.
Born Annoying is a hardcore/punk band from the Jersey Shore formed in 2011. They play music that can be perfectly set to black and white footage of heavy machines crashing together, clips of test flights of missiles/jets/rockets ending in catastrophic failure, videos of young kids being disobedient, chargers pulling in under the lip at Backdoor, long-hairs slam dancing, bikes being ghost ridden into brick walls and people skateboarding fast through traffic. For fans of Cro-Mags, Bl'ast! and Floorpunch. 7" includes digital download.
THE BORN UGLYS is a new band from Greg Valencia, guitarist and sometimes vocalist in GRIMPLE, ELDOPA1332 and WATCH THEM DIE and returns to the melodic roots of early 90's New Mexico Hardcore like early GRIMPLE, the earliest, melodic LOGICAL NONSENSE recordings or the punkier moments of the classic early 90's Lookout catalog like FILTH, CRIMPSHRINE or BLATZ. Jason Nipples From CROSS STITCHED EYES, THE ENEMYS , ALARIC Joins on Drums and Dutch From Prank's wildest new Mexico Export, WORD SALAD joins on bass, so there's still an abrasive blasting hardcore edge and a searing solo or three. 4 Tracks, including a cover of an unreleased LOGICAL NONSENSE track.
Phase Two of The Dicks began in San Francisco, 1983, when Gary Floyd relocated to a new city and reformed the groundbreaking band with a new lineup. Eschewing the traditional hardcore formula, Floyd along with drummer Lynn Perko, guitarist Tim Carroll and bassist Sebastian Fuchs evolved a more mature punk sound while still retaining their political edge. This incarnation recorded the Peace? 7-inch and These People album. They disbanded in 1986 and Floyd and Perko went on to form Sister Double Happiness.
The three-track Peace? 7-inch was the first release from the reconstituted Dicks and revealed the unit to be as intimidating as ever. Alternative Tentacles is proud to present this essential document of 1980s punk, remastered with love by Jello Biafra.
Rising Memphis stars with members from many various outfits, Ex-Cult (formerly Sex Cult) crams catchy punk rock through the “we can do anything” mindset of pioneers like the Urinals, Australia’s X or Wire.
Pitkästä aikaa uutta kamaa näiltä ja kyllähän se homma on hallussa edelleen.. A-puoli on hitaampi ja raskaampi, B-puolella ajetaan kovempaa, molemmat toimii!
"Time & Distance" includes two songs recorded previous to "Carry The Torch," ther debut record on Words Of War Records, and two songs recorded after, all unreleased prior to this 7". All of the tracks are played in a melodic tone, with speed, passion and enthusiasm, similar to Comeback Kid and Set Your Goals."
Hoax prove again on their third 7" why they are one of the last bastions of true hardcore spite and genuine danger. Mosh-heavy songs of empowerment and anger are forged using a degraded distillation of vintage Alan Blake-style riffing backed with driving, militaristic drums, and the feral anomie typically reserved for a vocalist like Mike IX Williams. Discipline comes from within. Comes in a matchbook style fold-out sleeve with 12 panel poster insert.
Few hardcore scenes have seen such a surge in young, fresh talent in recent years like the Pacific Northwest. Among the new crop of bands from the region is Seattle, WA's Ill Intent, offering up heavy, groove-laden hardcore that references the classic NYHC style while still being uniquely their own sound. Following their signing with 6131 Records in early 2012, the band entered the studio with Taylor Young (Xibalba, Rotting Out, Nails) to record their debut EP, "No Masters," a hard-hitting set of six crushing hardcore tunes not to be overlooked. 7" includes digital download.
Kolmannen levyn nimibiisin seurana tällä seiskalla on muualla julkaisematon Lost Chapter, joka on enemmän Desolation Street-levyn biisien tyylinen punk-iskelmä!
A-puolella Neon Lights-ralli Language Of The Lost-albumilta, ja kysessähän on bändin tähänastisen uran ehkä hitein biisi!! Tummia tunnelmia ja tarttuvaa melodiaa. B-poskella vain tällä seiskalla julkaistavat sähäkkä Elephant In The Room ja synkkä Caving In.
Formed by members of Pisschrist, Australia's Kromosom take cues from classic Japanese and Scandinavian noise/hardcore/d beat bands to make four blasts of raw punk on this 7".
Hienoa synkkää, ahdistunutta mutta melodista goottisärmäistä punkkia tältä uudelta helsinkiläisbändiltä.. tyylilajin parhaat perinteet kuuluvat mutta oma meininki hallussa, etenkin sanoituksissa kiteytyy ihmisen ahdistus täydellisellä tavalla! Musta Paraati/Cure/ym fanit HUOM!!
Kyllä jännitti ennen tämän EPn ensikuuntelua mutta turhaan, onhan tää kova! Erilaista kuin vanhat levyt tietysti, covereitahan nämä ovat. Mutta eipä siinä, Lama vuosimallia 2013 hoitaa hommat tyylillä!
Started in the summer of 2011, Malfunction was founded by four friends who wanted to play music to revive the Buffalo, NY hardcore scene. After releasing the "Locals Only" demo, they felt that they still had a lot to prove and weren't content with where they were as a band. With the release of their new 7", "Finding My Peace," on Reaper Records, Malfunction will work to prove that they deserve to be mentioned as one of the best up-and-coming bands around.
Hailing from Fukuoka, Japan! Nemsis is a young band taking cues from UK hardcore punk but played with the speed and intensity of early WARHEAD/NIGHTMARE, with an underlying Kyushu twist that brings homemates KURO to mind. Aggressive vocals, gang choruses, noisy guitars and intense drumming: unmistakably Japanese, this band carries on in the tradition of the Selfish/Blood Sucker/Discrete Records roster. 4 tracks that go for the throat. Pure and raw energy.
This one's got all the hits - the way they are supposed to sound. Pick your favorite Matt Freeman barnburner and see for yourself - you won't play another version ever again. Arguably the "biggest" record of their 20-year stint so far, this record deserves to be played in any punk DJ set... no matter how many times you've heard it, that bassline on "Maxwell Murder," the urge "Listed MIA" gives you to run around in a circle and the timelessness of "Avenues & Alleyways" are all proof of this record being a gift to the world. 7" pack is bound together with a collectible, printed, faux leather obi-strip and is limited to 1,000 copies.
To commemorate 20 years since Rancid's inception in 1992, this box set contains 92 sides of music: 46 remastered 45 RPM 7"s housed in this (faux) leather box set with all new sleeve designs. With a band as good as this, with as many amazing albums as they have, this truly is the essentials; fully documenting 20 years of Rancid in audiophile quality and top-of-the-line digs. Limited edition of 1,000 sets.
"Let's Go" has never sounded so huge. Already available on virtually every other format and sold out on most, this recording will pass all tests - it's as audiophile as it gets. The intentional grittiness of this record is the essence of why Rancid is Rancid, and why some things never change - and shouldn't. 7" pack is bound together with a collectible, printed, faux leather obi-strip and is limited to 1,000 copies.
After three years traveling the world endlessly, the musical diversity that Rancid illustrates in this masterpiece speaks for itself. While it might bring back nostalgic Warped Tour memories for some, for others (including a lot of musicians) "Life Won't Wait" took an eager and anxious group of diehards off-guard and pleasantly surprised them by really drawing from their roots and spilling out this coup of an album in a big way. Adorned in six new sleeves, and remastered for vinyl by Pirates Press, this version - like this album - is something special. 7" pack is bound together with a collectible, printed, faux leather obi-strip and is limited to 1,000 copies.
In 1983, the DC punk scene had grown and changed, and with that had come a loss of focus for many people. The violence and nihilism that had become identified with punk rock, largely by the media, had begun to take hold in DC and many of the older punks suddenly found themselves repelled and discouraged by their hometown scene. It was a time of redefinition, and Rites of Spring more than led the charge. They not only challenged the macho posturing that had become so prevalent within the punk scene at that point, but more importantly they defied musical and stylistic rule. The people that followed the band made it a point to never miss a gig, as ROS seemed to approach every show as if it was their last. The results could be explosive, often resulting in the destruction of their equipment, and this may well be one reason that they ended up playing only 15 shows. It was the boldness of this band that really contributed to the swell of energy, often referred to as "Revolution Summer", that swept over the DC scene in 1985. Rites of Spring released one full-length, End on End, and a 7", both on Dischord Records. Brendan and Guy later went on to play in Fugazi and Michael is currently recording under the name Mighty Flashlight.
The Shrieks is a wild and wicked all-female psychobilly band from Helsinki, Finland. Their songs are about about monsters, blood and gore, with a quirky feminine twist. On stage these gals are like a force of nature; a mighty whirlwind of fishnet stockings and pencil skirts, a turqoise double bass, screams, shouts, and sweat. The band's debut EP Blood And Lunacy delivers the same frantic passion to your living room.
Providence, RI's post-hardcore/noisecore/whatever-core's finest, Soul Control, is back with a five-song EP that will once again push the boundaries of the term "hardcore." For fans of Torche, Unsane and Helmet. 7" includes digital download.
This one-time pressing EP stands as a 20-year anniversary release for Indecision Records. Recorded in 1991, Strife's original demo tape features the band's first time as a five-piece, one that included New Age Records owner Mike Hartsfield on second guitar. This ensemble didn't last more than a few months and this tape and an EP on New Age are the only recordings from this lineup.
Hienoa synkkää punkrokkia Helsingistä.. Avengers, No Hope For The Kids ym diggarit huom! Eihän nää mitään junnuja oo, tuttuja mm. Unkindista, Death With A Daggerista ym.

Toka seiska tarjoaa juuri sitä mitä pitikin eli haikean iskelmällistä, silti särmikästä popmusiikkia!! A-puoli uudelleen äänitettynä myös Ei Enää-vinyylillä, B-puolen Secret Agent Man-suomennos ei.

Vinyl reissue/remaster of Trauma's hard-to-find and excellent demo! Scathingly fast hardcore that makes allusion to 80s Northern European classics (a la Crude SS and Mob 47) while still keeping a foot firmly planted in the good 'ol USofA. Trauma's line-up consists of a cast of savvy veterans (members of Tragedy, Final Warning, Longknife, Deathreat…etc…etc) and their collective experience is undeniable when heard pummeling through this batch of songs.
Two brand new tracks from Chicago, IL's reigning champions of hardcore/powerviolence. B-side is exclusive to this single. For fans of Despise You, Infest, and Magrudergrind. 7" includes digital download.
