Iron Reagan - Cycle of Violence



Not really a fan of all the weird metal stuff A389 Recordings are putting out, but I gotta admit when they drop something more in line of traditional hardcore it's always a blast. Iron Reagan is one of the bands that got my respect and this is their new clip - Cycle of Violence off of Worse Than Dead album.

New Blood: Cold Reality

Cold Reality is a new band from Budapest, Hungary that plays hardcore with tight vocals and heavy-ass grooves. They got one demo already, which came out earlier this year and I advice everyone to check it out cause it’s dope. I they keep it this way I expect cool things from these dudes in the future. Here’s interview with Balázs who handles vocal duties for the band.

Stout to cancel European tour



Bad news - due to car accident involving the singer Tad the band has to cancel their upcoming European tour. Hope its nothing serious and the guy will get well fast! And of course hope to see the band in Europe when he gets better.

Grim Reality - Reunion Show in 2014

Grim Reality, one of my three fav bands from Australia (with none of them being Deez Nuts) is reuniting for a show in March, 2014. You can find the facebook event for the show here. For those who don't know - these are some crazy-ass Australians who seem to get a lot of respect from everyone down under who know what's up, but they also seem to be kind of unknown to the outside world. I got their To The Death album that combines all of their releases and it is a true masterpiece in reckless and ignorant hardcore, with lyrical content ranging from hardcore pride to taking revenge on your foes. The band was active in 1990' and left the legacy of 7" 'Out To Win' (Trial and Error Records) and bunch of tracks on various comps. As far as I know, the band played their last show in 1999. It's a pity there's no chance I can even think about affording plane tickets to Australia...

Disrespect - Live at Core Tex Fest



Now that's a blast from the past! Disrespect reunited for the Core Tex Fest 2013 at legendary SO36 club in Berlin. I remember being into this band when their Hit The Ceiling album came out, and I totally admired the sense of fashion they exhibited on the backcover of the 7" split with Sidekick. Everyone into 90' chugga chugga hardcore should do their homework on this band. Truth be said, I haven't listened to their music since ages, but looking at the video it's cool to see they still got it.
