Making Punk A Threat Again!

  • The long awaited debut LP from NYC’s FLOWER “Hardly A Dream” is finally set to arrive.

    FLOWER’s tedious approach to writing/creating/drawing their debut LP was carefully thought out and the result is a monumental anarcho punk /crust record. 

    “Hardly A Dream” Takes us on a bleak journey through the dark side of society. As soon as you drop the needle a dark atmosphere is immediately created with a slow intro featuring arpeggio guitar work that builds into pummeling d-beat crust. The albums vocals then leave you with a feeling of being crushed by the ever-present weight of living through our modern world of late stage capitalism that was built on the falsehoods of the so called American dream, religious hypocrisy’s, nationalism, and the greed of humankind. 

    FLOWER take many cues from predecessors and are most often (and rightfully so) compared to NAUSEA but they also take a heavy influence from ANTISECT, SACRILEGE & other greats. The artwork has a very RUDIMENTARY PENI feel and the record comes with an amazing 24.5 X 34.75 CRASS style poster jacket. All art work was meticulously hand drawn and overseen by the guitarist Willow in true DIY style and spirit. Willow was also cool enough to draw up a special shirt for the record release featuring an alternative PROFANE EXISTENCE backprint!

  • Finally, the third LP from AGNOSY has arrived! 

    AGNOSY-cover

    Dark, heavy, galloping crust from the streets of London. AGNOSY is back to present us with a ferocious beast of an album that can only be forged by the anger and frustration of living in today’s world. “When Daylight Reveals The Torture” aggressively attacks evils such the current rise of fascism and animal abuse. It intelligently and passionately touches on the Afrin invasion and the revolution in Rojava and shows nothing but utter disgust toward the arrogance of humankind’s lust for greed and power that will inevitably lead us down paths of war and environmental devastation.

    AGNOSY – Live at SCUMFEST in London. 2011

    While lyrically AGNOSY are much more politicly straight forward this time around than on previous releases, musically they have expanded on their sound to create a dark and moody atmosphere while at the same time staying crust as fuck. To say they know what they are doing would be an understatement from this band of vets whose members have played in HIATUS, HEALTH HAZARD, and BEGINNING OF THE END.

    Long galloping intros are followed up by traditional d-beat, fierce solo’s are then meet with vicious vocals and pulverizing bass in a brilliant recording captured by Lewis Johns at The Ranch Production House and was mastered by Brad Boatright at Portland’s legendary Audiosiege. We then pressed on deluxe heavyweight 150-gram vinyl,  printed on reverse board jackets, and included an 11in x 22in gatefold insert to bring you a high quality and truly epic record.

    Review by Craig Hayes from “Your Last Rites”… 
    Swordwielder – System Overlord 
    Heavyweight punk fanatics take note: System Overlord is a fucking triumph. The long-awaited sophomore album from Gothenburg stenchcore band Swordwielder is a brooding behemoth, constructed from the filthiest and heftiest strains of punk and metal. System Overlord shimmers with apocalyptic visions, and it’s overflowing with all the grim atmospherics and intimidating intensity that defines consummate crushing crust.

    Too much hype? No way… And no apologies, either. Swordwielder deal in definitive stenchcore on System Overlord, and much like their full-length debut, 2013’s Grim Visions of Battle, the band’s latest release is a knockout. Swordwielder’s harsh, gruff and dark sound owes a significant debt to old school icons like Amebix, Axegrinder, Deviated Instinct, and Antisect, and they mix and mangle their influences and leave ’em to rot on the battlefield.

    Plenty of hammering rage drives System Overlord tracks like “Violent Revolution,” “Savage Execution” and “Cyborgs,” and thundering epics like “Corrupt Future” and “Northern Lights” exhibit subtler strengths, mixing guttural growls and clean vocals with crashing percussion and dirge-laden riffs. Connoisseurs of corpse-dragging crust will love the brute-force belligerence of “Absolute Fear,” “Nuclear Winter,” and “Second Attack,” which rain down like merciless mortar barrages. As a rule, all of System Overlord‘s mammoth tracks chug and churn with grinding muscle, while reeking of squalor and decay.

    Swordwielder exudes tightly coiled aggression from start to finish here—songs rise from the ashes of desolation, and resounding calls for action and resistance ring loud. If you’re a fan of heavy-hitters like Fatum, War//Plague, Carnage, Zygome, Cancer Spreading or (insert your favorite hefty crust crew here), System Overlord‘s trampling tempo and strapping sound are bound to appeal.

    “Sermon for the Bootlickers”

    Despite the inculcation of helplessness within each there remains great power. Ill at ease with such makes us ill. Learn to see the hand that feeds for what it is. You’ve been fooled if you think you’ve got no power. Refuse to be reduced to a consumer you’re a human being. Define yourself by more than wealth. Define yourself as a human. You don’t need what you’re being sold. Bend your knee to no authority but your own mind. You have the power to avoid the gilded trap. Avarice is what you’re conditioned for. Break the mold discover what’s really valuable to you.

OC CRUSTSTOCK and EXTINCTION OF MANKIND

  • April 29, 2014

OC Cruststock

 

So my tale begins about 15 years ago.  Believe it or not there was life before internet.  To find out about shows one had to come across an actual physical concert flyer, they didn’t get invited or alerted or notified…You were given a piece of paper with all the information of whatever shows might be coming to town.  Some people, some DIY “promoters” were better at getting fliers distributed across their town or city.  If they didn’t do a good job of getting fliers out to all the hotspots or bring them to any shows in the weeks or even months preceding the sacred date it just might mean that you missed out.  Hopefully your homies knew if you didn’t and they bothered to call you and let you know.  Again, sometimes you just missed out.  Sometimes the bands missed out too because there wasn’t anyone there, no one bothered to flyer the show…

MISERY and EXTINCTION OF MANKIND were coming to Denver and I had no idea.  I had made plans to go to Phoenix with a longtime friend to visit another longtime friend in his new digs.  He had been through re-hab and was now settled down and starting to get domesticated.  We wanted to go visit him, especially me.  When I had last saw him we were not on good terms.  He was doing a bunch of coke and we weren’t on the same page any longer.  Since I had stopped hanging out with him and his boys I was a target, they wanted to kick my ass.  Or maybe just more so him, that was the word on the “street” any way.

Eventually he moved and the immediate threat ended without coming to a head.  I moved on with life, moved to Denver and kind of forgot about him as I got caught up in the action of city life and my own new adventure.  Out of the blue one day the phone rang , I answered and was shocked that it was this dude.  We talked for hours, like it was high school again or something and forgot all the bullshit that had happened in more recent years between the two of us.  It felt good talking to him and I knew that I had to go see him as soon as possible.  And there our plans to visit our comrade in Phoenix transpired.

If memory serves me I think it was the eve before we were to start our drive to Arizona that I got a call from someone telling me that MISERY and EXTINCTION OF MANKIND were playing the next day!  What?!!  Why am I just learning of this now?!  Now I have to cancel my trip to Phoenix!  I can’t cancel.  This was an important mission, this was about old friendships and life moving forward.  But it’s MISERY and EXTINCTION OF MANKIND!…The right thing to do was to go to Phoenix, and we did.  We had a blast and relationships were mended and remain strong to this day…But I missed MISERY and EXTINCTION OF MANKIND!  FUCK!

Well years and years go by…It seemed like EOM might never come to the US again.  Every year I would wait and to see them announced on the Chaos in Tejas lineup to no avail.  And then it seemed as if the stars were aligned, they were announced for Maryland Death Fest and upon further investigation I came to understand that it was not an exclusive US date.  That had to mean they were playing Chaos in Tejas the next weekend.  Didn’t it?  No.  I waited and waited and then the rumors of no CIT started to surface, for weeks I was biting my nails and trying to get confirmation from friends in Austin.  Finally it was announced that there would be no CIT.  That was crushing, not only would I miss out on what had become a summer ritual but that meant there was no EXTINCTION OF MANKIND in my immediate future.

We started to look into MDF tickets but it was so much more expensive than CIT, especially the airfare.  On top of that were the horror stories of set times being cut short and douche bag bouncers that just didn’t “get it” being…well…douche bags.  Things looked grim.

But then like a glimpse of light cutting through the dense darkness of the deepest caverns an announcement was made that there would be an EOM tour!  Fuck yes!  I knew there wouldn’t be a Denver date but this guy was ready to travel.  With excitement I announced to the crew that we needed to pick a city to see EOM in.  We weighed the options based on price of travel and accommodations, friends that we could visit, and the possibility of catching more than one show based on their proximity to each other.

When we had narrowed it down to Portland or the Bay Area an alternative to CIT was announced…OC Cruststock!  A crust fest in Orange County!  This meant we could drive rather than fly, catch a bunch of killer bands and hang with our homies in SMD.  Word!

But the good news kept coming…before I knew it my own band (I have no qualms, I am plugging my band right here – ROÄC! [ We have an LP coming out on PE in June!]) had been added to the bill.  Through the network of solid friends and dudes in the know we had procured a spot on OC Cruststock.  Fuck yes!  I missed EOM 15 years ago but I get to share a stage with them in May.  That rules!

This is their second year throwing OC Cruststock and they have a hell of a line-up.  If Maryland Death Fest is too pricey and Punk Rock Bowling isn’t your thing, set your sites on the land of the beautiful people and get your ass to OC Cruststock!

Here is a link to the FB event – https://www.facebook.com/events/534454713337353/

And here is a link the blog page.  This page has ticket ordering info and more detailed info overall – http://cruststock.blog.com/2014/03/19/qu/

With ANTISECT having to cancel their tour it has been said that a headliner for Saturday is still going to be announced.  Regardless you still get EOM, ISKRA, AGAINST EMPIRE, ALL SYSTEMS FAIL, APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT, DEATHWISH and more!!!

See you in OC!
