Evil Ways - Loveless

First official video by Evil Ways!

Fallbrawl - Pure Mayhem

Hate it or love it, Fallbrawl is as German beatdown as it gets. Guys from over there had always their own take on this genre which emphasized heaviness over everything else. Cannot say I am the biggest fan, but I don’t mind couple of bands of this style. In recent years Fallbrawl has emerged as the leading posse doing this shit and basically a band to go to when you feel the urge for that type of sound.

Clearview Interview

I know many kids are so focused on American or European hardcore that they barely can name 3 bands from outside these scenes but if you’re one of them, you’re seriously missing out. And most definitely, if you don’t know any bands from South America, you gotta do your homework cause they got some crazy scene over there. Clearview reps Brazil and is example of a band that knows what’s up when it comes to that gritty and powerful hardcore sound that takes the vibe of the classics NYHC acts but puts its own spin on it. The band has dropped their new album, Pure Mayhem, couple of months ago so make sure you check it out!

Hard Resistance - Lawless and Disorder

The fact that this album is getting such a good feedback from the hardcore crowds proves that we’re living in a good times for hardcore. I can imagine just couple of years ago when the scene was infected by that metalcore crap it wouldn’t get so much love. But that days are gone and hardcore is getting its shit together again. If you got even slight idea about European hardcore from the 90’ there’s a huge chance you heard about this band.

Bad Advice - Founding Fathers

Bad Advice from Mississippi comes out swinging with five strong hardcore tunes with a good combination of groove and heaviness. It's mostly fast, but they ain't afraid to be creative and spice up the tried formula with cool guitar work or add some hip-hop flavor now and there. The thrash are evident, but it only makes this shit better. Especially check out Founding Fathers, it's rather mid-tempo but hard-hitting as hell. You can go to bandcamp and donate a buck or two to the band for their effort, or download it directly from here.

Still Screaming - Stick At Nothing

Stick At Nothing is another release by Still Screaming, a band that I have been following for some time already and really dug their previous releases. The music on this mini album is still along the lines of the classic NYHC style and the band sounds pretty confident in this area. Think of classic Agnostic Front albums or European bands like Only Attitude Counts and you’ll get the idea what it is about. Nothing is forced, all the songs flow like they should with nice vibe and catchy hooks. It’s even better than their previous outputs, which were really decent already.
