Yo! Drug Control just released their demo, straight edge hardcore right outta San Diego featuring members of Repel and Social Damage! Welcome to Dive-bomb heaven.
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.
Death Injection just put out their Demo 7" on Failure Recordings and its physical proof that every hardcore band out of Boston rules. Check it out, that goes doubly if you're straight edge.
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. Download Ugly Fucks - Seein' The Fucks Live! - U.F.
