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.

"Good riddance, don't come back"

Black Gust - Psychedelic Maelstrom 7"


Black Gust is a hardcore punk band from Zagreb City that plays a similar style of hardcore to Bad Antics, Dogends, Zero Boys and RKL (which had me from the beginning, Vicious Circle and Keep Laughing are two of my all time favorite albums). The Psychedelic Maelstrom 7" is the 7th release on Doomtown Records and immediately hits hard with Trapped in Static full with catchy guitar riffs and backup vocals. If you've ever been interested in the bands I mentioned above definitely check out this record.

Demolition - World Gone Mad EP


Saw these guys at Not Dead Yet Fest in Toronto and they blew my expectations out of the water. It's bands like this that keep that classic 80's style of hardcore alive. Every song on this record just reminds me of Agnostic Front and Breakdown and I wouldn't have it any other way.

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.

Nuclear Spring - Selftitled 7"



Nuclear Spring is definitely a band that has gone under my radar for far too long, but I've recently accumulated their entire discography and these early punk sounding tunes have been burned into my head. This latest release off of Doomtown Records reminds me of early proto-punk such as Wire and later 80's artists such as Gray Matter mixed into a single release. But don't let this put you off if you aren't into a more mellow/slower style of punk because these catchy songs don't intend to bore. The most refreshing part about Nuclear Spring selftitled is the dual male/female vocals switching off after every other verse or chorus.
