Overreact - Self Titled (Knives Out Recs)

The debut ep from France’s Overreact does not disappoint. If bands like Integrity, Ringworm, Vitality or Kickback are your shit, this ep will be a dope front-to-back listen as it showcases the band just wrecking shit through 4 tracks with a real nice vibe on the 90’ evil and grimey metalcore tip. Some real hard shit on this one. Those dudes ain’t ashamed to admit they’re heavily influenced by old school metalcore sound which seems to be a kind of hype in some circles. But make no mistake, this ep hits so many right points that it’s clear they’re not some new jacks jumping on bandwagon but real dudes with sincere love for the art of hardcore.

New Madball track

Doc Marten Stopm is a new track to prepare you for the release of Hardcore Lives album. The track is dope in a way carries on the tradition of classic Ne York sound with a dose of punk in the mix. I am eagerly anticipating this release, the tracks they've released so far are both high powered bangers and one of the finest work in years. The album will include guest cameos from Scott Vogel, Toby Morse and Candace Puopolo which is another reason why it's gonna be sick.

Indication's XI ep finally drops

For those living under a rock, debut EP by Indication is finally here and oh boy, it rips! Think of old Integrity and Ringworm, but not in this fake-ass holy terror goofy way, it's 100% foam to mouth aggression type of hardcore. This shit is real. Get your copy here, fruit!

Dope new music: Mizery - Survive The Vibe

Fucking hell, this ep is beyond hard! Everyone who thinks bands like Fire&Ice, Bitter End or Cold World rip needs to drop whatever they're doing in listen to this shit. This little gem was uploaded in March but it's just now that I found out about it. If you were sleeping on this band just like me, correct your mistake asap. Mizery, California, USA. Ep coming soon on Lion's Share Recs.

Manipulate @ BNB Bowl 2014

Manipulate is one of my favorite new bands and I can't wait for them to record some new shit. I don't know when it's gonna happen but I hope it will. The video above is taken from their BNB Bowl 2014 performance, straight up fire! I envy everyone who got to be at this fest.

Body Count - Talk Shit, Get Shot

Hipsters getting shot? Check. Yuppies getting slayed? Check. Internet shit-talking bitches getting smacked? Check. This is the lead single from the upcoming Manslaughter album, which is due out June, 10th. Bang your head to this!

Overreact Interview

If you're into metallic hardcore the way it was done back in the 90', the debut ep by Overreact will leave you floored. Seriously, the band got that style on lock in a way they hook up gritty and raw hardcore with heaviness of metal. It's a short piece of art, but the band made sure each tracks on it rips. Check out the interview to learn more about these dudes.

New Tunes: R.A. - Black Widow

Rude Awakening dropped a new track to promote the upcoming Collateral Damage album. What can I say, the track is straight fire and perfectly blends aggressive, groove heavy tunes with threatening vocals. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first song to be leaked from that album and judging only by this monster we should gear up for some strong shit. It seems every week there's another killer band releasing new killer music, I like where this year is going.

Eternal War by Forced Order

Forced Entry is a new band from California that brings that evil heaviness that makes everyone go maniac when they hear it. If you don't know, members of Twitching Tongues, Soul Search, Harness and Disgrace have their dirty fingers in this band and that guarantees quality. The band have dropped new track on their bandcamp which is fire. The vocals are seriously pissed off and menacing, the music itself is dope too. I dig it and hope there's more tracks coming in the same vein on their upcoming ep. Eternal War to drop via Ratel Records soon!

Unite For Relief comp

I love it when hardcore community gets together for a good cause. Like this comp, which is a result of couple dudes from Germany, US and Japan teaming up to make it happen - and all the profits go to help people in Japan who still struggle to get their lives together after the tragic tsunami in 2011. The tracklist is insane and includes everything that’s cool about hardcore - from classics like Next Step Up or Darkside NYC to newer bands like Look My Way, Ballistic or For The Glory. You also get big names like Madball, Wisdom In Chains or Trapped Under Ice in the mix as well.

2 cds, 35 tracks - I know the main goal is to raise money for the needing, but if you choose to buy this cd you’ll get shitload of good hardcore to listen in your car or gym or wherever you like it. The selection of the songs is dope, there are absolutely no fillers and all the tracks are heavy as hell. That's not surprising considering the opening track is Bringing Back The Glory by Next Step Up. It's a track everyone loves and are familiar with, but it kind of embodies the spirit of integrity and solidarity this record carries. It's impossible to pick a fav track here, but I advise you to check out Methods Of Groove by Embraced By Hatred. You can't top the original, but this version still is fire!

Furious Records released the comp in Asia in 2012 and Filled With Hate Records released it in Europe/US in 2013. There are some copies left and they need to go! You can order your copy here. Europe, US - step up!
