HARDCORE LIVES 2012

D-Clone - Creation and Destroy

"The future of noisecore is here. After two EP’s and several splits, D-CLONE have delivered their debut LP with the absolutely devastating CREATION AND DESTROY. From the first drum hit to the final scream, this record is above anything else in its genre. 11-tracks of absolutely over-the-top noise not music. Building on the strengths of their previous releases, D-CLONE crank up the intensity and give you one of the most blown out, fierce and groundbreaking releases to come out of Japan in the last decade. The production is above and beyond any of their peers and only adds to the ear piercing chaos that blasts its way from start to finish. A ton of new material as well as some re-recorded classics. This LP shows D-Clone at the top of their game and solidifies their spot as one of the most dedicated and passionate noisecore bands ever. Welcome to the new age of noise. 

WE MAKE NEXT GENERATION!!!"

Tercer Mundo - Self Titled EP

"Hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, cradle of the Mexican drug war, beheadings and people burnt alive, TERCER MUNDO's debut 7" joints the daily horrors and despair of Mexican reality in a brutal Hardcore Punk in the vein of classic Mexican HC bands such as Herejia, with members of Ratas del Vaticano and Margaritos."

PREVIEW:

Tercer Mundo - No Importan by CarpetRash

School Jerks - Self Titled LP

Finally a full length LP from Toronto's own, SCHOOL JERKS.
13 bangers of angst-ridden early 80's hardcore, that brings to mind early black flag (pre-rollins era) and dare I say, parts Amdi Petersens Armé (RIP).

Hoax - 3rd EP (better vinyl rip)

I'm already aware there's rip of this on the interwebz but I found a much better vinyl rip of the most recent 3rd EP, this time it won't blow your speakers/ears out.

True hardcore for outcasts and freaks.

Ilegal - El Aire Libre Fuera...LP + 3rd EP

PREVIEW:

VIOLENT END - VIOLENT END by BLACKUNIFORMS

Wiccans - Field II LP

"Thematically influenced by science fiction and boasting a rich analog recording worthy of their sound, Field II finds NWOTHC veterans Wiccans indulging in their most occult proclivities and traversing into unknown, psychedelic territory. 
Akin to Tyranny and Mutation-era Blue Öyster Cult, but as a hardcore punk band, Wiccans has created a wholly unique and essential aural experience."

STREAM/DOWNLOAD:

5 Songs of spiteful hardcore that will leave you ignorantly moshing for more.


PREVIEW:

Cadaver Dog - Filed Down by CarpetRash

Frenzy - Noizey Trouble EP

Debut EP from new PDX raw hardcore band, Frenzy.

The band features (ex?)members of Nerveskade but this is more straight up 80's hardcore than noise/pogo punk as the album cover and title would suggest, reminds me of Ripcord with a dash of UK82'.

PREVIEW:

Frenzy - SS Control by CarpetRash

DNA (Destructive New Age) - Self Titled EP

This band features members of Wake Up Call and Cruel Hand but don't really sound like any of the said bands, its much more fast paced and WYLD, think Poison Idea meets Negative Approach with a touch of NYHC

Fag Cop​ -​ Whimpers From The Pantheon
