Eel - Self Titled EP (2015)

"After a bit of down time since their last record, EEL has emerged from whatever local Pittsburgh landfill they came from with some more sonic blasts of the blown out noise infused hardcore punk pounders that they’ve made themselves known for with their past few releases. This particular slab features three original rippers followed by a DISORDER cover to close it all out."

"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."

Blazing Eye - Self Titled EP

"Hailing from Los Angeles BLAZING EYE sound lay somewhere between ZOUO, THE SEXUAL and QLOAQA LETAL. That is Japanese inspired hardcore punk with demonic vocals and hard as nail beats which is extremely hard to shake once you hear it. The four distorted tracks on this EP mix perfectly the low end reverb soaked Japanese influences with the best of the International Hardcore Punk of the early 80's. Making it a masterpiece of timeless punk."

Stupid Life - Self Titled EP

"Finally after months and months of waiting the Stupid Life 7" is being unleashed upon the world. Stupid Life has been playing around the Los Angeles area for over a year honing their skills and becoming a staple of the LA punk scene with their charismatic live shows and infectiously catchy songs. As demonstrated by their name they take cues from classic Kyushu noise punk a la Confuse and Gai but have an underlying Swankys groove that propels the songs into Japanese pop madness filled with guitar leads, outrageous solos, blasts of noise, and some of the downright most memorable songs in modern punk. Quite possibly the best noise punk band that isn't a noise punk band, Stupid Life are all incredibly talented musicians who do not hide behind a wall of noise and distortion to disguise their inability to play; instead contorting and manipulating the noise to suit their needs. Hands down one of the best releases I have ever worked on and I am incredibly proud to bring the world Stupid Life."

Prag - Self Titled EP

"Perth punks PRAG unleashed 4 tracks of unhinged mutant hardcore. The nasty sounds of this EP are a hybrid of Finnish Hardcore circa 1982, Japanese low production flexis from the ADK days and Spanish heavy hitting hardcore. All blended with a healthy DISORDER vibe and a rat sounding GERMS style vocalist. All in all a damaging piece of pogo inducing hardcore-punk with a teeth cutting guitar tone, a wall of reverb and an urgent beat. File next to GLAM, DESTINO FINAL, CRAZY SPIRIT or SEXUAL."

The Inmates - Self Titled LP (2014)

"What more could you ask for in 2014? A new fuckin' INMATES record? Awe shit. Cleveland's finest are back with 7 new tracks of scorching Japanese-influenced HC plus a GUNS cover and a skit lambasting the "crust fund" oogle shitheads that you see riding the rails and winding up at punk gigs. Paul's vocals have weathered over the years a bit, sounding even more disgusted and skummy. The music here is 100% what you'd expect from the INMATES, raging top shelf negative HC punk. What are you waiting for? Just fucking get this."

Ooze - Self Titled EP

"You read that right. At long last. Six track shit slab from the Abominable Ooze. ‘Nuff said."

The Combat Zone - Self Titled LP (320 Kbps HQ)

"After a killer 2013 demo The Combat Zone return with a 12 inch full of total degenerate punk, Think Boston Not L.A. meets Back on the Map. This is mean, lumbering, anti social hardcore that is not your friend."

Members of Male Nurses, Contingent, Green Beret, Chain Rank,
and other fine Boston musical acts.

PREVIEW:

Cremalleras - Self Titled LP

"CREMALLERAS out of Monterrey, Mexico are a duo of guitar/drums/vocals playing hardcore punk, less vicious than TERCER MUNDO but with a way punker edge reminding me of a hardcore CHUTE DE ESPERMA I believe the girl playing guitar/singing was in RATAS DEL VATICANO and the drummer in MARGARITOS/TERCER MUNDO."

PREVIEW:

Nuclear Spring - Self Titled 7" EP

New 4-track 7" for their upcoming European tour from the rightfully so hyped Nuclear Spring. 

This is their best stuff yet on par with their debut demo, a more mature approach than their previous stuff, mid-tempo punk at its finest, it will not disappoint.
