Brain Slug - Live in Power

"New York's sleeping giants, Brain Slug, return with their long-awaited full length record, "Live In Power". Eschewing all trends, this record draws inspiration from every corner and every era of hardcore in the greatest city in the world. From A7 to ABC No Rio, CBGB's to Coney Island High, this is no-frills hardcore punk for purists who need substance over style without sacrificing the abrasion. Think Citizen's Arrest trying to rewrite Set It Off. Live In Power or die like a fool.."

FOSTER CARE - Sterilization LP

"It’s been almost four years since New York’s Foster Care put out their debut album "Bad Vibe City "and we’ve been anxiously awaiting a follow up. Well the wait is finally over.  Foster Care is back with another banger of an LP and it’s gonna knock you out.  In their downtime the guys did more than terrorize the neighborhood bars. They’ve been sharpening their knives and waiting for the right time to pounce. Well apparently that time is now and this record is razor sharp and heading straight for the throat. Every bit as punchy as the first but more dialed in. The hooks are bigger, the guitars are meaner, and Chris Teenager sounds as vicious as ever.  24 minutes fist pumping, head rattling ,negative punk perfection for 2016. 100% TOTAL PUNK!"

STREAM/PREVIEW:

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."

PREVIEW/STREAM:

Anasazi - Nasty Witch Rock

"Finally, after years of tremendous promise based on their live show, Anasazi have dropped their monolithic LP. The band's first two 7"s were solid and established them as one of the preeminent contemporary goth punk bands. Of course, that's not saying much considering the company, but those who saw them live knew they were something special. Finally, they've captured the magick perfectly on record with the help of Ben Greenberg and have now emerged as the best band of this style in the world. Aesthetic and sound only go so far, but Anasazi break from the pack with an unrivaled intensity and, most importantly, thoroughly-impressive songwriting. There's not much more to say about this band other than that this LP is completely essential, so don't sleep on this one."

PREVIEW:

Mommy - Demo 2015

"New NYC punk band featuring members of bands we all knew and loved." Also, fronted by Mike Caiazzo, everyone's favorite NYC lunatic. For real, though, this is the best NYC punk demo I've heard in a long time. Insane and noisy, but not noisecore. Vocal patterns resemble old anarcho punk, but it's not that either. I would say the most unique new band here, as well as the best. Look for a 7" on Toxic State later this year. Essential."

PREVIEW:

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."

Goosebumps - Scared To See A Doctor 7" EP

"NYC's hardcore scumlords return with their crowning achievement as a band, the Scared To See A Doctor EP. Equipped with a far superior recording and eschewing the traditional hardcore mold of their first 7", the band has begun incorporating elements of drugged-out punk classics such as Fang, Flipper, and even Butthole Surfers to create a wholly unique hardcore punk experience that could only come from Ground Zero."
