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.

1 BAKER ACTED Hours That Never Add Up to Comfort 7″ (review)

  • September 3, 2013
  • by PigBastard
  • · Reviews

Image Florida… what do you think of? I’ll tell ya what I think: disneyworld, crowded beaches, swamps, alligators, old people, staunch conservatism, heat / humidity / sun, come to think of it, nothing good.  But then I live in Minnesota, nowhere near the tropical state.  Ive heard from several people that Florida has got a surprisingly decent scene.  And Im not talking about death metal, but hardcore punk.  To be honest, I didnt really believe them.  god’s retirement home being the local spot for some good punk rock? But that actually makes sense because punk is fueled by rage not comfort.  So evil staunch politics geared to the old and conservative could make for some really great furious punk.  I went out on a limb and bought Baker Acted from some guys at the recent Grind Your Dick (or CLIT) Off Fest in Minneapolis.  when I got around to putting this 7″ on the turntable, I was pleasantly surprised.  Baker Acted released their record in October of 2012, and is the first release on All We Know Records.  Hailing from Miami FL, this new band brings us 6 songs of punk rock with great bass lines, dual guitars, angry as fuck vocals and stop on a dime drums.  The vast majority of songs on this record are sung by a womyn with a great vocie, which my wife and I both really enjoy.  A few of the songs feature dual male / fem vocals, which brings an element of anarcho- style into the mix.  This style has been done before, but this feels fresh and unique, not recycled at all like some bands do.  A really good record from the underground of southern Florida, and highly recommended.  By the way, the band name baker acted refers to a Florida bill passed in 1971 that allows mentally ill people to be committed to a mental health facility for 72 hours, against the will of the mentally ill person.  Quite a fitting name for an angry fem led punk band.  Other bands from Florida on AWK Recs are Recreant (Tampa), and Landbridge (also from Tampa)

touch_my_rash

A three piece pop band with a pretty terrible name but the songs are very poppy and catchy at that in there letter they compared themselves to MASKED INTRUDER and that isn’t a correct match at all I’d say more like THE GATEWAY DISTRICT.  All the songs basically have the same drum beat and female/male fronted vocals.  If you like your pop punk generic and trying to sound like other bands then this is for you. I don’t like to be negative about bands because at least they’re trying so follow the links and form your own opinion. (XbezerkerX)

46483_465723973478639_1045690113_nFirst thing you’ll notice is the cover art work of this album look like a knock off  well it sort of is. Ramones-AcidEater is a classic cover so you can only guess what they try and make there songs sound like. DUMBS are a punk rock band from Poland and mainly perform there.  Here on this full length you get 15 tracks of pure snotty RAMONECORE jams but not nearly as good as the RAMONES.  But they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  There really isn’t much to say but sounds like a less better version of the RAMONES.  If this interests you follow the link and check them out.

0 CLOWN Human In Confusion CD (review)

  • August 29, 2013

ImageThis is Tokyo City thrash punk thats fun to listen to when youre drunk, and good lyrics to read when youre sober.  This is classic sing along style crossover metal punk in the style of Deathside meets Motorhead, leaning more on the Motorhead side.  All the Japanese lyrics are translated into English in the lyrics book, and most song choruses are sung in English.  Apparently this is their second LP.

I found this quote at Soap and Spikes:
“Nagoya city, one of the cities raised up Japanese Hardcore by world-class level, has 九狼吽(CLOWN) in its core. They play aggressively, and it’s not too much to say that they represent Japanese Driving Hardcore Punk at this time. And this is their newest record. You can be killed with one blow of Mune, a son of Burning Spirits. Agitating shouts of their souls. Shot! Shot! Shot! The lumps of sound make your aggression accelerate and battling spirits fire. Pound! Pound! Pound! A direct new generation of Japanese Hardcore, goes on their own way of hard core laughing social situation! Just feel their boiling blood. Yes! Yes! Yes!” -Souichi / FORWARD”

Image Discourage is a new 3-piece from Columbia South Carolina that play political as all hell fuckin punk rock.  this is urgent anarcho-punk that has intricate riffage and complex drumming with anguished lyrics over the top of it all.  At times mid-paced and suddenly bashing into fast paced yet melodic parts and layered with dual vocals on some parts.  the lyrics package is a very DIY zine full of riot footage from around the world, and calloused lyrics about the protest movements in the States.  one song mentions how SOME people at the Occupy movement thought they were beating the cops by playing Leftover Crack and drinking in the park.  This is a call to direct action from the United States of Apathy. very solid demo from the Amerikkkan southeast.

Imagethis 3 piece from Los Angeles bring the politics with the beer on this raging d-beat recording of 4 songs.  Songs about war (obviously), religion, crooked politicians, and heroin leave you thinking about the issues long after this record has finished playing.  Death Over Greed is by far the longest out of the four and has a really cool intro before blasting into the rage.  Dual vox on all songs along with thick guitars and top notch drumming influenced by crusty core bands such as DooM and Wolfbrigade.  released on Dirty Mick Records.  All records come with digital download card and 18″ X 18″ poster.

  • August 29, 2013

ImageHaunting melodies, anguished vocals, and gothic ambiance is how I would describe this blackened – crust punk band from Columbia South Carolina.  The current line up has existed since 2011, but these guys bring such tight music that they could have easily been doing this for a while now.  Slow / Mid – paced melodies come crashing down with raging crust punk, and then slip into theremin led breakdowns of pure black ambience.  I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this band live, and the stage show is just as amazing as the music.  this music is for those who love epic crust with heart wrenching emotions.  Talking to the members of the band, I learned that this cassette is the teaser for their upcoming 7″ due out before the end of the year.  the cassette is “A do-it-together effort through Heidrun Collider, IFB, Anti-Corporate Recordings, All We Know, & Get Better! Records.”

1 CLASSIFIED RESISTANCE Thee Compilation LP (review)

  • August 29, 2013
  • by PigBastard
  • · PE Records · Reviews

ImageThis collection of underground artists loosely categorized within black metal captures the filth, ambiance, and destructive elements of black metal, along with 4 traditional low-fi black metal songs.  I hear similarities of Raspberry Bulbs (Chicago), and at other times Burzum (Oslo), but this musical ogre definitely feels unique with approach and style.  Side A is mostly ambiance laden with noise and 2 black metal songs.  Side B is the musical reverse, being mostly black metal but still experimental as hell.  This could probably be used as a film soundtrack, but the combination could potentially be scarring.  Nine ‘songs’ total, multiple artists have been used on this release to paint the evil atmosphere.  the booklet is laid out like a zine, and the gothic / satanic media give respect to Olde European lifestyle, sacrifice, satanism (surprise surprise), and some intelligent lyrics about the decay of Detroit city.  limited to 500 copies, this record comes with a bonus sticker and can be found via Thee High Priestess.

To those lucky people who have a hard copy of there original demo recording hold on to them this will be a good add on to your collection.  Plus everything sounds better on vinyl correct?
