Scum Of This Earth

Watch out for Pantah's debut ep 'Not For Me' to drop soon enough! The band will be releasing this gem via The Limit Records (NL), and the same material will be also availabile on tape through Cause & Effect Records (UK). One track from the upcoming record is already available for your listening pleasure. If the rest of the new tunes are as dope as 'Scum Of This Earth', they will get my money for sure. It seems that if you dig their first demo you won't be dissapointed with the new record. This is the same rugged, aggressive stuff with pretty crazy vocals.

OLC live set from East Coast Tsunami

It's funny how one of the most hated bands in hardcore turns out to be one of the nicest and down to earth dudes. I saw them play last year's Ninja Fest and their performance was short but slick. They got nothing but love from the crowd and love they did give back. I don't know how active the band gonna be in terms of gigs in the future, but if you have a chance to see them play live don't miss it. Props to Shed My Skin for the above vid.

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.

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.

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.
