Terror - Keepers Of The Faith (Full Length Documentary)
Terror documentary “Keepers of the Faith” which the band has posted in its entirety for free streaming. Good stuff, not only for die-hard Terror fans. I believe the band does not need any introduction, but it's good if kids can see and appreciate how much effort they put in to make it work. One of - if not the - most prominent bands in hardcore right now which has not compromised its credibility and integrity. There's a lot of passion and dedication in what these guys do and it definitely shows in this video. KOTF!
Entrapment - The Pros And Cons Of Breathing EP
Entrapment is new band formed in The Barracks (Wilmington, MA). The sound quality of the demo is rather raw, but if that not something that would put you off there is definitely something promising going on here. The band delivers solid metal driven hardcore accompanied with burly vocals. They throw in a good amount of tempo changes so it doesn't get boring that fast. I would definitely like to hear some properly recorded shit from them. Until then, give young bloods a chance! And check out their facebook page as the band plans to play some small tours this summer! Download it!

Revelation Records signs The Rival Mob
Revelation Records welcomes The Rival Mob to the roster. Look for a release from this great Boston hardcore band in the coming year. If you're unfamiliar the band: The Rival Mob was born in a bitter wasteland known as Massachusetts in the year of 2007 AD, where five men were brought together by a common goal: to play hardcore punk in a manner most hard, cold, and real. Having had a bit of experience here and there playing in bands such as Mind Eraser, Free Spirit, Mental, Rightous Jams, Thow Wrong Side, XFilesX, The Prowl, Bottom Line, New Lows, Lovely Ladsand R'N'R , it wasn't long until Boston's infamous practice space and recording spa the Pain Cave was ringing with riffs. Inspired by late 80s hardcore a la BREAKDOWN, REST IN PIECES, YOUTH OF TODAY, and CRIPPLED YOUTH, the boys recorded their first demo (an '87 BREAKDOWN worshipping slab of meat) and started playing shows and making a name for themselves within the wonderful hardcore punk community. Not long afterwards they were approached by Boston hardcore hero and entrepreneur Greg Willmott and a deal was inked for a release on the notorious Lockin' Out label.
In late 2008 the "Raw Life" EP dropped like an atom bomb and the word was out: THE MOB ruled all. Gigs and tee shirts began to flow like wine as THE MOB continuously attacked the Northeast, Canada, and beyond. Unwavering in their style, the "Hardcore for Hardcore" EP was released in 2010 on Six Feet Under records to smashing success.
Aged like a fine wine and seasoned like a fine meal, THE RIVAL MOB return yet again for their first full-length LP on Revelation Records entitled "Mob Justice." "Mob Justice" will take the raw meat and potatoes Rival Mob formula and pump it full of caveman steroids. Not for either the faint of heart or the faint of pit - so don't say you weren't warned.
