Listen to upcoming 7" by Kid Armor

Kid Armor is a really cool new youth crew band from Southern California and they will have a debut 7" Better Days released by Commitment Records. Pre-orders for the record have already started, check it out here. Musically, it's upbeat and raw, with tons of strong riffs and gang vocals. A lot of their lyrics deal with dangers of taking drugs and the band is not shy about their straight edge stance. I expect to see kids slamming hard to tracks like Better Days or Pound, great stuff!

No One Is Safe Interview

No One Is Safe is another band out of Finland that got that metallic hardcore sound on lock. Their latest album brought on some heavy tunes that anyone into Bulldoze or Second To None should appreciate. This is kind of weird story, but between me sending the questions and the band answering them, they decided to call it quits. So, this is the last historic interview with the No One Is Safe. Apart from band related topics, I got them to share some info about the Finnish scene which in my opinion is one of the coolest in Europe. Check it out!

Lifers Records from Montreal is planning some cool releases this year. First of all, Enforcers will be dropping new 7" called State Of Matter, check the short promo video above. Actually, it ends when things start to get heavy, but even so short teaser makes me think that it's gonna be a great ep. Wrong Hands will release 'We Will Bury The Gods That Birthed Us', a title which promises something truly epic. Surprisingly, A Perfect Murder are still active, and their new cd will be out May 21st.

Review: Incendiary - Cost Of Living

Incendiary continues to strive for perfection. Knowing their previous material I expected only good stuff from this release and I am not disappointed. With Cost Of Living, the band proves it still got what it takes, and their dynamic and powerful brand of hardcore is only getting better. One of the more striking elements of the album is how good the songs flow together, each one delivering force with plenty of attitude.

Live Footage: 86 Mentality at Damaged City Fest (4/13/13)

It seems 86 Mentality got together again for couple of shows, but I have no clue if they gonna be writing new music or releasing any new material. That's one of my fav bands so it would be cool to hear some new tunes from them, but if not that's also ok cause I can still play Goin' Nowhere Fast on rewind all day long. Oi!

Demo Daze: Loose Ends, First Degree, Denny Crane

Loose Ends - Free Spirit

The brand new ep by Loose Ends brings 4 tracks of heavy-ass metallic hardcore that has very nice vibe to it. One of the coolest new bands I've heard in a while. For fans of Fury Of V, Merauder, Dead End Path and just good heavy music in general.

First Degree - California Beatdown

Beatdown hardcore the way it should be played. It's heavy but slick with crushing riffs, double bass and vocals that pack enough attitude on these numbers to guarantee that the message gets across. I would say it's something between Sworn Vengeance, Shattered Realm and Suffokate, but best judge for yourself.
