Ragecage - 2014 "Sick Songs Demo" Cassette

Ragecage is an Italian hardcore band, but this wouldn't be entirely obvious just by listening to them as their style borrows a lot from NYHC (Breakdown and Warzone). This isn't to say that what their doing has been done before, it still feels fresh and "Mad Dog Killer" may be the jam of the century. If I were you I would keep this band on my radar.

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.

Pain Strikes - Demo 2013

Pain Strikes is a hardcore band from Reading Pennsylvania that plays a similar style of music to that of Champion, and The First Step. Heavy youth crew that stays true to its roots and isn't afraid to get in your face, I'm all about it. I hope these guys decide to tour someday because I would love to see them play, but until then I'll definitely keep and eye out for their future releases.

Hired Goons - Demo 2013 PT II

Yo, Hired Goons have a new tape that hits even harder than the first. Demo Pt. II has a good mix of fast paced "Fuck you" riffs and breakdowns/parts that will make you stomp around your room in a fit of rage. The song Crushed especially leaves an impression with its killer leads and more melodic approach that stands out from the rest of the tape. Don't miss out on this, I'm extremely excited to see whats next from these guys.
