Brain Dead - Spring '14

Brain Dead is a straight edge band straight out of San Antonio, Texas. These guys play heavy and fast hardcore that reminds me a lot of Disengage and Stick Together, definitely a good comparison! If you live in the San Antonio area I would be on the look out for Brain Dead, they're making a rise in your area.

Warrior Tribes / Distract Split Tape

Warrior Tribes play straight forward hardcore punk and remind me a lot of Vacant State, especially with their song Flats, can't get enough of it. The other two tracks on their side of the split are just as tight, fast energetic hardcore that stops for no one. The Distract side of this tape is only two tracks, which is kind of a bummer because after listening to this I definitely want more. Don't miss out on both of these Chicago bands, you will not be disappointed.

Ugly Fucks - Seein' The Fucks Live!

Ugly Fucks are a hardcore punk band from Zagreb, Croatia that play a style of hardcore that reminds me a lot of FxPxOx (Forever Positively Obsessed), fast bursts of vocals backed by intense riffs and adrenaline filled drums (I'm sold). There aren't a ton of live hardcore albums (probably because punks can't afford good mics to record), but this one actually sounds really good. Definitely give Ugly Fucks a listen, a lot of good hardcore punk from Croatia that should not be passed up.

B'urst! - Demo 2014

I wasn't sure what to expect after listening to 'The Drive By (Intro)', but once those drums kicked in (you know, the ones that sound like they were recorded in a bathroom? The Judge - Bringin it Down sounding ones.) I knew I was going to love B'urst.
