This series will spotlight different underground D.I.Y. crust, punk & metal bands. Some bands you might know some you might not. Each band is one has captured our attention and we feel will capture yours too. The first three bands in this series are announced below. The rest will be announced as the release dates approach.

A select amount will be available for wholesale through ILD: www.ildistro.com (Get in touch with them now if you want to carry this!) but the majority will be available direct from Profane Existence. Once they are gone they are gone.

We are offering you an advanced opportunity to subscribe for the first six 7″s in this series. Each month subscribers will receive one new 7″ in the mail along with a silk screened patch of that band. The first 100 subscribers will get exclusive GLOW-IN-THE-DARK vinyl. Note: silk screened patches and glow-in-the-dark vinyl will ONLY be available to subscribers. They will not be sold separately. All subscription orders will receive color vinyl but if you order after the first 100 are spoken for you will get a color of our choosing.

0 ULRIKE’S DREAM – Van 9 TOT 5 – LP

October 28, 2012
by backwoodsvegan
· Reviews

It would seem that everything that comes through my mailbox that has the Maloka Distro logo printed somewhere on it is really good. Now I can add ULRIKE’S DREAM to that list. The needle drops on the first track and I wait. It starts off calm, beautiful and melodic. After a few lines the distortion is fully kicked on, the double bass starts pounding, the bass lines rip and all hell breaks loose in a whirlwind hardcore attack! The lead(female) vocals have turned angry and sour setting a killer pace. Then they add some yin to the yang and start the second track off with a little reggae style that feels like it has a NAUSEA flavor to it, but it quickly jumps back into fast hardcore drive. Track 3, You Walk in Line is more vicious that expected. The writing is varied on this, which keeps it from getting stale. At times there’s full on “tough guy” chugging riffs, smoothed out ska, straight up speed metal (No Dead Desire) and some acoustic for even more variety. All the songs are socio-political in nature touching on squatting, getting trapped in the “system” and scenesters. The package is rounded out with great sound quality, spot on mixing and a clean layout with black and white band pictures spread out through the lyric sheet. Like I said, Maloka never disappoints.

0 ANTHRAX All for the Cause CD

October 28, 2012
by leffer
· Reviews · Uncategorized

This has been an album that many of us have been longing for. Being stuck in a shitty redneck town from the late 80’s to the early 90’s really limited my means of finding good music (mostly 3^rd generation recordings from vinyl, etc). I had the opportunity to get my hands on the CRASS @ sides cassette and I played that damn thing till the ribbon stretched. The ANTHRAX track on that comp completely floored me (along with all the other bands), but needless to say, once I heard them, I was sold immediately.

These guys had a true spirit and dedication for @narcho-punk and it was felt in the music and lyrics which left a lasting impression that made me jump when I heard they were reforming. I can openly say that due to their influence, they carved a bit of my character today.

All for the Cause is ANTHRAX as pure and wholesome as they were back in the day and is even released on their own DIY label GROW YOUR OWN. They’ve never lost their edge to play what’s in their hearts and tell a story in their music that makes you so damn proud to be a part of the DIY punk community. It was them (and their comrades) that brought us together back then and it’s them now to continue that communal glue that binds us like minded folk.

This album has a gamut of music that is catchy, thoughtful and full of angst, and questions the very heart of our dark world. “Happy” is a great track that makes you want to sing along with a raised fist “Rise above the bedlam, take control…don’t let the powers that be, dilute your soul”. This album is great all around. The production is clean, thought out and meaningful. Given, this is about 30 years later from their younger days, so it’s not that quintessential “CRASS” style fuzz recordings (BTW, did everyone share the same guitar pedals back then for recording?), it’s the modern day and with modern production, but needless to say, their hearts have never left the punk playing field. An essential record to have. (Leffer) GROW YOUR OWN records/

0 Curried Butternut Squash Soup

October 25, 2012
by backwoodsvegan
· Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

Fall in New York is one of my all time favorite things and soups like this one submitted by the very creative Janine are part of the reason. Enjoy.

1 medium/large butternut squash
3 small A.P.P.L.E.S (tart ones would work best)
2 shallots
2 cups brussel sprouts
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground fenugreek seeds
10 curry leaves (optional), and a few for garnish
olive oil
sea salt to taste

This one is pretty easy… wash and slice the shallots, and brussel sprouts, toss in olive oil, spices and sea salt, roast at 375 in the oven until crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. While this is happening, cut, core, de-seed, de-skin, and defile the apples and squash (you may leave them in relatively big pieces, they go soft easily). Boil until easily pierced with a fork, then transfer, liquid and all, into a blender (do not do this drunk). Return to pot, add your roasted sprouts/shallots, stir and serve. You may want to add more sea salt, depending on your taste. Serve to a grindcore singer.

0 20 MINUTES DE CHAOS We Don’t Need Your Police LP

Well shit howdy! After getting half way through writing this review, my laptop died. Well, not so much mine, but one my boss lets me use at home. Not important. Anyway, everything I wrote immediately disappeared in half a second. So…the first thing you’ll notice is the CRASS influenced military font on the border framing a creepy as fuck clown holding an old timey round bomb and then a bunch of things that add texture, but don’t make sense to me. When you pull out te sleeve, the lyrics(some French, some English) are on one side and there’s pictures of show flyers and photos of the band in the studio. Ya know, even the center of te record is a bit CRASSY. Anyway, 20 MINUTES kills it! Every track is just unapologetic brutal crust that’s mostly woman fronted accompanied by raspy male vocals. I immediately thought of NAUSEA, NUCLEAR DEATH TERROR and FLEAS AND LICE. All the lyrics are fiercely political and aren’t just rehashed war formula staples. They tackle the integrity of the crust scene and comment on the recent global upheavals and question work life that starts every unsatisfying day with the blip of an alarm clock. The mix and recording are perfect. I love when well written songs are preserved properly. Ever buy something from a good band that you just can’t listen to? Not this one! Top notch from start to finish! Another staller release from Maloka. (Jake)

Today I’d like to pay homage to the record “Way of Doom” by Hiatus. This is/has been one of my top fav crust eps of all time! I wrote a profane column a while back about my thoughts on the way of doom:

0 PROLETAR / GREBER split EP

October 23, 2012
by damieninbred

Ahh, good old no-frills, non-techy grindcore. I don’t get down with much grind these days, but on a split 7”, I can definitely get into it. Especially when it’s as good as this. PROLETAR play old-school grindcore which remembers a time when grind was another form of hardcore punk! They hail from Indonesia, and appear to be influenced by the mincecore masters AGATHOCLES. Not usually the hugest fan, but a split 7” is the perfect format for this. In fact, by the time it ended, I was still wanting more. That’s a great sign. As their song says, “Grind for better life!”
On the flip-side is GREBER, who are a two piece (bass and drums, respectively) metal band, who are actually pretty cool. It takes a lot to make a two-piece doom(ish) metal band sound interesting, but there’s enough going on between the two members to make them sound really interesting. The vocals are low and gruff, but not growly. There’s not much info about GREBER included, and there’s really no bands I can compare them to. I suggest you check them out though, they’re pretty damn cool. Another great release from Suburban White Trash – great cover art, too! (Inbred)
