The release of SKSK third album was almost unnoticed to me until i seen it in the target. They have moved a long way from the After Dark EP of being a deep dark sound.
Review: New Maps Of Hell
Bad Religion's new record New Maps Of Hell is amazing. The songs have so much energy && the shows to promote the new record where some of the best ive ever been to.
Review: Shorebirds - S/T 7"
With a lineup featuring ex-members of Jawbreaker and Latterman, it would have taken a lot for me not to like this record. Fortunately, that isn't the case.

Unfamiliar with these two fine bands? We’ve has teamed up two of California's most promising hardcore bands on the label’s latest offering. No Truce unleashes a punishing blend of metal-tinged hardcore with influences ranging from Buried Alive, Madball, Integrity, and Sick of it All. If you enjoy Terror and Blacklisted, you’ll dig ‘em. Crucified draws musical and lyrical inspiration from All Out War, Merauder, and Ringworm as they unleash blistering metallic hardcore. If you rage to Ringworm and Palehorse you’ve found your new favorite band.
