0 Burning Sons-Reflective Confessions 7 inch Revew

December 8, 2012
by xbezerkerx

Jump in the pit and fuck some shit up, this record is balls to the wall punk rock. Tons of crazy energy coming out of my speakers right now. Very fast and nasty vocals and pounding guitar behind it makes this an awesome release. Kind of bummed that this is only 3 songs but all 3 of these songs sound amazing. If you’re a fan of punk rock then you’ll love this record. The B-side of this record “The Other” starts off with a nice bass intro into guitar then the drums start into something really heavy, about 2 ½ minutes into the song then the vocals kick in at it is amazing. My favorite song on this 7 inch is “The Other” and you should go check these guys out Midwestern punk soon to blow up. Just check out the label they’re on with good backing and a solid tour that would put these guys on the map. Also if you’re lucky enough to snag one on white vinyl cheers to ya! (XbezerkerX)

0 Last Under The Sun – ‘Hooligan Jihad’ Review

December 8, 2012
by SFitzgerald
· Reviews

Pollution spills from industry, then forcibly spews it’s sewage into our atmosphere. Religious war and depression weighs heavily on us, this is our neoteric genre. In the meantime, as you trudge through this cold December, all you hear everywhere is the jingle-jangle of christmas songs. Pass the ‘Hooligan Jihad’ EP please, I need a hit of reality.

On this EP, Last Under The Sun deliver five songs of terror and the harsh realities of life. In that same apocalyptically bleak way that bands like the Subhumans and Crass have done in the past. But they are singing about our current day in a direct way “how many people die, for a worthless cause… I dont wanna die in some desert war”. It is all about our politically violent world, but at times it’s done with some humor like on the song ‘Hooligan Jihad’. How can you forget the lyrics “You can’t play crust in fucking flip-flops…”.

Frantic and pissed off, members also make up Birmingham’s infamous Police Bastard, who had a split with War//Plague on Profane Existence last year. Which is no surprise as you could draw parallels in the style they play. Very much a no excuses crust styled hardcore with it’s roots firmly in DIY hardcore punk. There certainly is great production and tight musicianship on this too, without losing a raw punk sound. There are great elements to this like on the song ‘Beautane’, which made my dog twist her head in strange ways in trying to decipher what the sounds were. It has gloom-ridden sounds and samples, Big Black/Ministry instrumental like playing making it more dense and machine-like at times. You could never say Last Under The Sun are following any particular music genre with tracks like this. It is a serious gem of a track with added post-apocalyptic ambient sound effects. But that ambience is well and truly broken when ‘Hooligan Jihad’ breaks into high gear. Well worth checking out.

0 THE SHAME: an interview with Tulsa old school roughnecks

December 6, 2012

· Interviews · PE Records · PE Web Zine

I had the pleasure of doing an interview with Chad Malone, the vocalist and guitarist with Tulsa, Oklahoma’s premier Oi! band, The Shame. You might know him from political crust bands like BROTHER INFERIOR, ASSEMBLY OF GOD or BRING DOWN THE HAMMER. This three piece band plays with conviction and has lyrics that deal with getting through life, and of course, drinking. You can’t go wrong with their first CD, The Plan, or their new 7″ single out on Profane Existence called “The World Is Ours”. It’s the first 7″ single on Profane Existence’s Limited Edition 7″ Singles Series. So pull a pint of your favorite brew, imported if possible, turn on the football, crank up the tunes from The Shame and read on!
– Interview by Rick Ecker

What or who got you into punk at first?

I came from the metal scene but was drawn to the aggression of punk and thrash early on. It seemed like I was always looking for the next, faster thing. I got into Iron Maiden at age 11 and soon found Metallica (in 1984) and it wasn’t long until I got into everything from Cryptic Slaughter to The Damned to Motorhead. And yes, very much I listen to all of those early records still today.

What bands were you in before this and do you still hang out with those people/have music from them still?

I’ve been doing bands for ages and have had a lot of luck in being able to do a lot with them. I was in Bring Down the Hammer, Assembly of God, the Leveling, Brother Inferior and I still do Larkin. Ironically enough, I knew both o

f the members of the Shame from bands I was in early on. Josh and I were in a crossover/metal band called Mad Arab in 1986, and Giss and I were in Concept of Nonsense and Unsociety back in 1989/90.

0 Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 6, 2012
by backwoodsvegan
· Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

1 C earth balance
2T egg replacer
1/2 C water
2 C brown sugar
1T vanilla
3 1/8C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
5 tsp finely ground espresso

1 bag dairy free chocolate chips

Pre heat oven to 350F. Let the margarine sit out and get a little soft. While that is going on, mix the egg replacer and water together and let sit for about 10 minutes to get nice and thick. Cream together margarine, sugar, egg replacer and vanilla. Add salt and baking soda and espresso and mix thoroughly. Mix in flour. Start with ha little less flour and feel it out. Some flour is tougher to work than others, so you may not need all of it. If you haven’t snacked on all the chips, mix those in. Shape into 2″ balls and flatten out to about half an inch thick and bake for 15-20 minutes depending on how well your oven works. When they come out, give the pan a good smack on the counter. Trust me, it’s good for the texture.

0 Furlong/Sick City Four-Split Series Vol. 2-7 inch review

December 1, 2012
by xbezerkerx
· Reviews

So lets start off with FURLONG-Sex Bunker this is a nice little song with a repeating guitar riff and some gritty vocals over that. This song has some kind of keyboard effects in the middle of the song which makes me flashback to playing video games as a kid shooting stuff on Nintendo. Basically the track is half song and half weird keyboard syth track all in all if you’re into the more modern hipster tracks that are coming out these days you’ll love this. Now it’s time to flip this bad boy over to listen to SICK CITY FOUR. There track is called “Burundi Punchclock” well not going to lie but if noisecore and jazz met and started to bang on drums and play there guitar all weird and added a horn section to randomly play together then you have this. I really don’t know what to say just not my thing. This record does come with a digital download with bonus content and also comes on some sweet splatter vinyl. (XbezerkerX)

1 Closet Burner-12’-Review

December 1, 2012
by xbezerkerx
· Reviews

Queer-positive fastcore from Bloomington, IN. Is there slogan and it fits 12 very fast and pissed off songs standing up for equal human rights. Jumping right into this record is “Under The Radar” 50 seconds of pure of pissed off punk talking about bands reusing the recycling the same ideas and not make up there own. One of my personal favorites is “Gay Majority” which they are talking about all the people out there talking about anti-gay camps and people out there trying to spread gods words about homosexuality. The longest track on this record is a “WARPATH” cover of “Abomination” which I didn’t think would be as good as WARPATH but it was amazing. This record has a screen printed cover and back also the B-side is screen printed clear vinyl with pink ink is what my copy looks like also there is a pink vinyl with pink ink as well. Stamped on the inner sleeve is the slogan “Reality is a cult, everything is a Conspiracy”. Check these guys out follow the links and buy or download this! (XbezerkerX)

0 PE GLOW-IN-THE-DARK Vinyl is Here!

December 1, 2012
by xbencrewx
· News · PE Records

THE SHAME glow in the dark records arrived at the PE Warehouse today and they are bad ass! We broke ground on two new fronts here. This is the first time we’ve pressed a record on something that glows… Seriously, if you get radiation sickness from playing it consider this your legal warning. This is also the first Oi! record that PE has been apart of. Chad from THE SHAME has been a long time friend of Profane. You might know him from political crust bands like BROTHER INFERIOR, ASSEMBLY OF GOD or BRING DOWN THE HAMMER. Musically THE SHAME play anti-fascist OI! and it’s solid fucking punk rock you can sing along to while drinking pints with yer mates! It doesn’t matter what you’re into (except maybe straightedge) but if there is one thing that brings the punks together it’s beer and a band who sings it praises: THE SHAME. We are excited to welcome them to the PE family and to have them kick off the Limited Edition 7″ Series. What is this series you ask?? Each month in 2013 PE will release a new limited edition 7″. If you subscribe for the first six you get limited edition glow in the dark vinyl and a screen printed patch from each of the featured bands. Subscriptions are limited but there is still time to sign up. Do it today!

0 ANOTHER SOCIAL DISEASE – Brain Damage 12″ EP

ANOTHER SOCIAL DISEASE – Brain Damage 12”EP

ASD hail from New Jersey and really do a great job of capturing some of the NYHC / Crossover sound. These guys play old-school hardcore that reminds me a lot of VERBAL ABUSE and perhaps even some LETHAL AGGRESSION. They ride that 80’s hardcore vibe as it was maybe just before or just as bands were starting to add a little metal. It’s there but this is not full blown crossover, they still have their feet firmly planted in hardcore punk. The production is solid and the album sounds thick and raw managing to retain a lot of the energy this band possess. There is no lyric sheet (or really any info for that matter) but they seem to protest typical punk topics like cops and hard drug abuse. From the pictures on the back cover these dudes look a bit older and I think that’s what makes this record come across as being so genuine. This isn’t a bunch of kids setting out to be another generic retro hardcore band. These dudes are the real deal. (Josh Mosh)
