Tigress - Self Titled EP

"Dig it: the harbingers of Chicago hardstyle are here. Tigress, the soundtrack to a night spent up to no good, of bottles breaking windows, of a cop taking a brick to the teeth. A whirlwind of camo and jerseys, this is the antidote to a billion flaccid bands touting brotherhood, the antithesis of self-indulgent essays by aged-out, boutique hardcore curators. 

Dig it: Are you caught in a mosh? Or is the mosh caught in you?"

Gas Rag - On The Beach EP

"Chicago's GR'S final offering, recorded just before their breakup last fall. Comparisons have been made, names have been dropped, l'll just keep it as great old mid-western HC meets some scandi or jap HC, yet without sounding as one of them generic dis-clone bands. The Rag have graced us for a short yet very fruitfull period with some of the best harsh and refreshing HC/PUNK for the last couple of years, this EP is among of their best"

PITFALL - Demo 2012 CS

"After Chicago legends PUNCH IN THE FACE called it quits in 2007, three of the members reformed some time after to start PITFALL. Taking a decidedly melodic yet still hard-edged approach, veterans Jeff Jelen, Ebro Virumbrales, and Dave Song recorded these incredible 8 tracks. Get ready to have these songs stuck in your head because these are some of the catchiest anthems in ages. Taking influence from classic Oi! and Chicago punk, this is one masterpiece of a demo. Includes a smashing cover of "Victims of the Vampire" by Slaughter and the Dogs!"
