CDC "Burn" MCD out now
After countless shows and endless touring allover the world, Pennsylvania's one and only COOL DUDES CHILLIN' finally find some time to record 5 new songs for their longawaited FWH debut release. And people don't will be disappointed. The band continues the musical path they started with their successful 2003 Demo incl. hits like "Crowd war" and "This is forever", mixing up plain and simple PA-styled Hardcore with plenty of Breakdowns, Mosh and Singalongs. In the past years CDC rose up and built a name solely upon desire and devotion to the music and the road. Never riding coattails and never sucking dick. And now it's time for the next chapter in the CDC history.http://www.myspace.com/cdc
Faust Again signs with Bastardized Records!
Message from the band:
"The new year brings good news and it’s about time to share them with you. We’re thrilled to announce that we just signed a deal with Bastardized Records from Germany. This decision was easy to make since Bastardized Records has been around for couple good years and you can definitely call these guys “pros”. Nevertheless the most important thing for us was the enthusiastic reaction we got from Bastardized team after they heard our demo tracks. Our goal was to work with people who share the same passion and enjoy our music as much as we do. Our new album will come out in May 2009 and we’re already working together with Bastardized Records and Go Down Believing on promo tour. We have a lot of plans for 2009 so stay tuned for more butt kicking news coming really soon. FA"

Wreckage
Name: Wreckage
Location: Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
Active since: Nov. 2007.
Special Move: Brain-thrasher down tuned hardcore for critical people.
Stuff recorded so far: Demo 2008
Is there a theme that runs throughout your lyrics or music?
We try to reflect the need of modern man to get out of the flock and begin to use his brain, the most powerful weapon we have, and fight for all the things we can’t develop inside our society.
What emotions do you hope your music evokes in listeners?
Defiance, scorn, rejection and anger.
What are the bands’ personal influences?
Well, if you ask about lyrics, the main influence is life itself but also some political and philosophical ideas that surround it. If you ask about music, I think we are very influenced by Clevo stuff, Holy Terror bands, Swedish old school death metal and black metal.
What is New World Order in your opinion and what are the main evidences that such thing exists?
NWO was born with the end of the Cold War. It is the practice of a capitalism stripped of any ethical values, where only economical benefits are important. Of course, only the richest people from the richest nations are the beneficiaries of all that, and that is the only reason of maintaining it.
How is the scene in Tenerife? Are there many local bands and shows there and do you have many bands from abroad coming to you?
Well, we have a little scene here in the Canary Islands, we are like brothers. You have Good Fellaz, a great band in a Mental/Righteous Jams style where our bassist Ale plays too ( www. myspace. com/goodfellazhc), you have Mirror Match (www. myspace. com/mirrormatch) , old school flavoured hardcore punk; the melodic hardcore of Sin Sentido ( www. myspace. com/sinsentido07 ) and Milk Fiction (www. myspace. com/milkfiction), 466/64 grinders (www. myspace. com/kafkiano ) or Against All Hope’s metalcore (www.myspace.com/ againstallhopemusic). Unfortunately, we had more bands in the past like Pollution, Take Care or En La Distancia, but due to different circumstances, they have split up. Yes, we can talk about a healthy Canary hardcore scene. We have brought some bands of the Spanish-Portuguese mainland like Versvs, For The Glory, Über, Dias Cruciales or Truth Throght Fight, but it’s a hard and expensive (although comforting) work.
How it is running a band in a place like a Tenerife? What are the main obstacles you have to face to keep it going?
It’s really hard running a band here in the islands. There are only two clubs where the bands can play, you can’t easily find rooms where to practice. If you can gather 100 persons in a concert, you have achieved the impossible. Pure DIY as hard as I’m telling you.
Books and movies everybody should check out?
Well, I’m reading just now John Joseph’s “Evolution of a Cromagnon”, highly recommendable. Personally, I’m a fan of all H.P. Lovecraft literature. Movies like THX1138, Zeitgeist (the movie), Fight Club or Bulworth and you can understand Wreckage’s way of thinking.
What are the future plans for Wreckage?
We’ve been stopped for few months, so our immediate plans are practicing hard and immediately record a new demo with 6 new songs. Then, touring the Spanish mainland and who knows, maybe Europe?

Onesta - We Got Game
Onesta - We Got GameGoodlife 2008
It’s really hard not to notice the amount of good bands here in Europe that pick up the torch that was ignited by those like Agnostic Front or Breakdown. With the latest successful releases by No Turning Back, 1125, Grankapo or Last Hope, the competition is high and you gotta step up with something special to get noticed. With their first release for Goodlife, Onesta proves they got what it takes.
The band enters the game with a certain freshness and vitality in their sound that make for a really tight record. Onesta are definitely NYHC style and they have much In common with bands like No Turning Back or Madball. The level of song writing and musicianship is good and they deliver some really nice sounding hooks. This is in the finest traditions of the genre and even thought there’s nothing particularly new here that you haven’t heard before, it’s still very enjoyable. Originality is not what I look for in hardcore anyway. They constantly keep the energy level up and that’s what does it for me. The band packs a huge punch of aggression with fat guitar licks and a slamming rhythm section. Even thought the style they play originated in NYC, Onesta remind me mostly of an European band No Turning Back in a way they put the focus on the flow and grooves of the songs instead of just trying to sound hard or heavy. Each track just shoots through the speakers with aggressiveness and energy. The production is a perfect blend between clear sound and the rough edge. If you’re NYHC fan, then you are gonna have a blast with this release.
