The SOSF Worldwide Split - Volume 3

SOSF bands never let down when it comes to that ignorant and reckless hardcore this scene needs so much. The general idea behind this album is getting 3 SOSF bands on one CD, each band representing different country where SOSF cartel has established its base: US, Germany and Japan. The first band is Cold Reign out of Indiana with short intro and 3 hard as nails hardcore tracks that all are bangers. The Noose is the catchiest tune on the album, driven by tight groove and double bass action, topped with hard as nails vocal. The band has that heavy sound Midwest is known for, bringing the best elements of 90’ and 00’ tough guy hardcore. No bullshit, just some straight up dynamic and intense tracks.

Sike - Demo 2012

Giving props to the East European hardcore, here's Sike from Kiev, Ukraine. The band is about straight edge and plays straight up old school hardcore with NYHC leanings. The songs are damn catchy. It has members of some local bands, namely Clearsight, Bluesbreaker and Honesty, so the guys know how to handle their instruments. The recording quality of the demo is good - not too clean, not too raw. All in all, very cool record and I hope to hear more from them in the future! Download it!
