Misconduct - A Change

Not much info or anything else about this release on the net,how can this be forgotten?!!Released in 1997,10 songs of oldschool hardcore,short,fast and in your face,this masterpiece was on repeat for a loooong time,one of the first hardcore bands i've heard,too bad that they went to play some shity melodic punk,changed a lot of members but why the fuck they didn't change the name also?!!If you ask me about Misconduct,A Change is the only album you need from them!!

Half The Battle - What We Have

Well,i was quite surprised when i found out that this band is from Phillipines,maybe the crucial fact was that the singer is from the States (that is something that i also found out much,much later).This release gathers everything they ever put out from 2003-2009,14 songs in 26 minutes,youth crew hardcore!If you like Battery,Better Than A Thousand,Rancor and so on,you should pick this up asap!!!

"What makes this music crucial is the fact that it isn't about the music. It isn't about the sickest riffs, or the heaviest 'breakdown'.. It isn't about the singer's powerful scream.. The music is a way to reach out to kids and share ideas with them."
-Easy, Tight End Fanzine Interview 2009

Guyana Punch Line - Direkt Aktion

It's half past midnight and i'm half drunk,saturday started shitty and it sure will end the same,this release is sick and weird and describes exactly what the fuck is happening in my head right now,this is a materpiece of all violent music...

 “smashism means a 1000 different things to 1000 different people, but at the heart of it is the notion that no matter how out of control technology becomes, the controlling forces can be brought down with a swifty swing of a stick.
Guyana Punch Line is a 4 piece antimusical terrorunit from Columbia, South Carolina. Practitioners of the philosophy of “smashism”, the group seeks to unload its IRRITAINMENT cargo on the unwilling and unsuspecting. ///// ///// ///// ///// ///// ///// Smashism characterizes itself as an antidogmatic dogma, an anti-systemic system, an anti-religious religion, an idea devoid of any idea. Smashism turns art into garbage and vice-vera. Smashism recognizes the power-weilders and it lies to them. Smashism will liberate you from work. Smashism seeks to ignore food as sustinance, but embraces it as a weapon. Smashism goes into spasms, urinates, throws flour, screams, crawls, knocks tables over, stabs, kicks, punches, paints, sculpts, fucks. Smashism may or may not become everything it hates. Smashism must run itself into the ground in order to properly be considered Smashism. Smashism accepts mistakes (also called shams or clams) and embraces the manner in which they positively mutate the realities of the past. Smashism assumes that anyone in power must suffer some form of humiliation. Smashism publically denies any involvement in illegal activities. Smashism would like to run all music through an effect. Smashism is more honey and less money. Smashism is more feeling and less thinking. Smashism seeks to make all that is ugly, beautiful (or at least interesting). Smashism will replace the family unit with heaps of dirty laundry. Smashism must destroy all tourist centres. Smashism accepts that “noise” is the infintessimal scales between the notes. Smashism realizes that bodily functions can be effectively used as insults. Smashism must always tear itself down in order to prove it is for real. Nothing is so extreme that it cannot be instantly realized through Smashism. Smashism will eventually destroy all art as commodity. Smashism seeks to undo all societal training. Smashism doesn’t attempt to learn foriegn languages, it instead creates new words. Smashism likes that “smash hit” sounds like “smash it”. Smashism seeks to invent absurd new fetishes. Smashism wants to destroy the tired old concept of procreation. Smashism likes the way sweat smells. Smashism must dress to annoy the populace until the populace follows in its footsteps… then it must go nude. Smashism accepts all forms of music, but cannot play any of them. Smashism was dead on arrival.

You can wear a cowboy hat to make fun of people who wear cowboy hats, but in the end you just come off looking like a guy wearing a cowboy hat.”
— Guyana Punch Line

Even Worse - The F.A.


*** Full length split release between two great bands out of Germany.Both of them fit well with the best DIY oriented hardcore bands from Germany from the last few years like HIGHSCORE,DEAN DIRG,SHORT FUSE,THE TANGLED LINES or SHUT THE FUCK UP.THE F.A is coming from Giessen. Their debut vinyl release contains 6 songs of female fronted hardcore filled with fast tempos with breaks and some heavier parts. The singer used to sing later for the band GLASSES.
EVEN WORSE's release brings 8 songs,mixing posi-old school HC energy,thrashy fast tempos (unlike DS-13) with some early 80's hcpunk. (http://www.emancypunx.com/) ***

Knife In The Leg - The Fight

Both bands played in my hometown years back,great people,great show!Knife In The Leg delivers some oldschool angry nihilistic hardcore,(back then i didn't like much this kind of hardcore,i was to fastcore :D ) The Fight on the other side plays fast furious hardcore with strong female vocals mixed with a lot of melodies.







Submerge - Karras

***Not content to be one of (if not THE) most devastating neo-grind act in France, SUBMERGE continue their quest to conquer the entire universe with one of their best efforts to date. On this split with fellow violence-fiends KARRAS, the band wields their music like the hammer of Thor and brings it crashing trough the skull of any grind fan smart enough to buy this very limited record. I don't know if this band has any full length albums out, but if they do not, it is a crime against humanity. KARRAS, for their part, do a stellar job of providing a counterpoise for SUBMERGE. They are unleash a harsh and driving sound that is what you might imagine a grind band signed to AmRep would sound like. TODAY IS THE DAY, at their more direct, is the best comparison I can come up with.*** (http://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/60p31.html)






Sidetracked - Wrench

Wormeaters - Wardeath

New Jersey's Wormeaters return with their 3rd EP, but it's their first for Sorry State and their first with a new vocalist. The hate just seethes from the grooves on this record... it's as if the band is treating their guitar strings and vocal chords as if they were the jugular veins of their bitterest enemies. Unlike a lot of one-trick ponies out there, Wormeaters retain this level of near-blinding rage through both fast tracks like "Spray" and mid-paced, punch-your-friends-in-the-face anthems like "Scabs."
