Live Footage: Iron Boots at United Blood 2013
Judging by the comments, pics and live videoes that pop up around Internet, United Blood 2013 was a blast. EpicMoments have uploaded some footage from the fest, you can check it out here. Check out Iron Boots performance above, one of my favorite bands.
Video: Truth In Needles - Keep Me Down
Truth In Needles never gives up when it comes to bringing that raw NYHC sound. They stuff remind me a lot of classic 90' East Coast stuff, probably if they were active back then they would end up on Back To Basics or Too Damn Hype. Here's the latest video from the band, another one from the Turning Gray Black album. DIY!
Download: New World - Demo 2013
Heavy, but slick hardcore from this Southern California band. Don't know much about the New World, but it seems to be band's debut release. What you get is intro plus five tracks of intense hardcore that have a right balance between heavy grooves and faster parts. Traditional hardcore vocals are solid and work fine with the music. Southern Rush is my fav track, mostly due to powerful heavy groove and overall energy it has. Overall, some of these songs are real badass and I hope to hear this stuff recorded with better quality. Download it!

Video: Reign Supreme - Stuck Pig, Bled Dry
Reign Supreme has posted new video for Stuck Pig, Bled Dry off of band's latest ep, Sky Burial. What hits me the most is how heavier and more metal sound it has compared to their old recordings. I don't really think it's a change for better. If history of bands like Throwdown has taught us anything, is that you don't fuck with metal sound if your hardcore sound is cool enough. But... judge for yourself.
Review: Hammerfist - Isolation
This new mcd by Hammerfist is five tracks strong and each one hits hard with focus and intensity. Staying true to their hardcore roots, most of the tracks come and go in a less than two minutes, but there’s enough talent and good ideas here to keep things varied. From the very beginning you get a sense that the band put a lot of effort into song writing, as all the tracks are well structured and keep the right balance between being engaging and aggressive.
