Justice League Discography 1983 - 1988

Justice League was one of the first west coast straight edge bands that I know of. The members went on to form Chain of Strength after Justice League broke up.

New Deal - Rites of Passage

These dudes just called it quits, but they left us with some killer recordings. I'm just bummed I missed their last show out in Davis.

Strike Fast Demo 2013

Dudes from Swellbow play fucking loud, fast, and angry hardcore while Liam breaks mics and  jumps on stupid kids that aren't punk enough to slam. No, but seriously one of the best bands in SoCal right now and if you haven't seen em yet then you're fucking up.

Unit Pride - Then & Now

My brother introduced me to this band when I was first getting into hardcore and it blew my mind that these guys grew up in San Ramon, California (a 5 minute drive from where we lived). Ever since then they've been one of the most influential bands in my life as well as one of their later projects, The Nerve Agents.

They didn't have the longest run compared to the bands they played with, but check them out anyway.

Indian Taker - Split with Shortcuts

Saw Indian Taker a while back in San Francisco right before their tour with Casket. Something happened with their drummer before the show so the lineup was a little different than usual with the singer playing drums and singing at the top of his lungs. I'm pretty sure most of them are from Modesto, but from the sounds of it they have members all over the bay now.

New Deal - Demo 2012

I see these guys play all the time in Sacramento and the Bay. Super tough and tight straight edge hardcore that isn't afraid to Stick Out! They've got a demo from last year and a 7" called Rites of Passage on the way which I got to pick up on tape when I saw em play with Mindset. Not sure if they're planning on touring anytime soon, but if you see them playing near you definitely go check them out.

Demo 2012

Impulse - Chula Violence

Some of the guys from Sleep Walk playing crazy fast hardcore power violence from Chula Vista. Short songs with tough breakdowns and group chants. Chula Violence! These guys just put this 7" out and are playing in the bay next week, I haven't been more excited for a band in a while! Definitely check em out, this record is a must have for fans of Coke Bust, Infest, or Punch. This world around keeps on getting scary, but I've got some help. I've got sanctuary!

Disapproval - El Monte Youth Authority

Disapproval - El Monte Youth Authority (2013)

Disapproval is probably one of the toughest bands I've ever played with and this new record proves it. If you haven't been listening to this band then you're messing up.
