Omegas - Power to Exist LP

THE RETURN OF THE JOYBOYS...

"Much anticipated answer to 2011's "Blasts of Lunacy," the Omegas leave off where they picked up, coming back to their personalized vision of the nooks and crannies of early NYHC and proto hardcore cum Darby Crash cum Nollywood prankster at ever more obtuse and challenging angles. The riffs implode and the changes are impossible to follow without a map that probably leads somewhere unpleasant. Even still, the confusion feels like a stroke of luck. The gift is not knowing what you're hearing yet but knowing you've wanted to hear it your whole life. Duck, dive, spit, slam, kill: Makes you go Boom Boom. Flash forward, the power to exist. FFO: getting stop and frisked by the NYPD and having them find a giant lollypop in your otherwise empty bag/wondering who killed Tony Frenchman" 

-Jonah Falco, 2016

La Misma - Kanizadi LP

"La Misma are a New York hardcore band whose take on the genre is hectic, strident, urgent, erratic, and cacophonous. They’ve been making some noise lately on the DIY warehouse circuit, but their new album Kanizadi still arrives as a sudden and welcome surprise. It’s a quick jolt of intensity. And while you may not be able to understand frontwoman Nay Vieira-Rosario, who rips through her lyrics in Portuguese, you can still revel in the feverish force she uses to deliver them."

Death Camp - Live At The Bug Jar 7​/​20​/​15 CS

The NY Def Campers are back hard with a new line-up and songs in this live recording cassette, a huge and definite improvement from their last outing, their metallic influences are still ever so present in this recording, more so now with a tinge of Christian Death in there, expect the occasional Heavy Metal and GISM-esque riffs/solos, NYHC dive bombs with dark gothy overtones.

Ajax - Self Titled (2015)

"New York's AJAX follow up their demo and Self Titled 7" on Katorga Works with undoubtedly their best material yet. The four tracks on this new recording continue their perfected blend of early Boston influenced hardcore and Swedish, Totalitär influenced riffs and gruff, Choke-esque vocals. Features members of Creem, Warthog and Nuclear Spring."

AJAX - Self Titled EP (HQ 320kbps)

"Debut 7" from NYC's best new hardcore punk band. Taking the blueprint of blistering USHC with riffs reminiscent of Swedish classics like Totalitär and one of the most powerful vocalists going today, Ajax have quickly become one of the most interesting contemporary hardcore bands."

LISTEN/DOWNLOAD:

Warthog - Prison EP

New York's Warthog present their second 7" taken from the same session as their debut 7" on Katorga Works. These tracks are dirty, filthy hardcore punk delivered with a snarl that takes cues from the uglier moments of USHC like YDI and Void as well as newer bands like Hoax, Cold Sweat and The Repos.

Brain Slug - CREEP b/w Annihilate Me

"New York's Brain Slug returns in 2013 with their sophomore release, the CREEP/Annihilate Me two-song-single; a manic blast of ancient NYHC wisdom (Straight Ahead, Krakdown) spiked with a hefty dose of noisey punk (Discharge, et al.). Wrapping things up is their vicious take on Christian Death's Spiritual Cramp."

Death Camp - Teenage Nightmare EP

Long awaited Debut 7" EP from Rochester/Upstate NY's own, DEF CAMP. 
The band plays a grim style of hc/punk with a slight metallic and R'n'R edge, it's heavy and daunting at times.
Don't sleep on this.

Goosebumps - I Hate My Body EP

The debut 7″ EP from NYC’s sketchiest, GOOSEBUMPS.
Drug-fueled scummy NYHC is what you get here, it's filthy and obscene as it should be, think urban waste meets GG Allin.
OUTCAST HARDCORE.
