New Releases
Opening track ‘Lacerated’ rides in on a wave of distorted feedback and belts along with hardcore punk fury and some seriously two-step worthy crunchy guitar work. ‘Human Figures’ keeps the relentless pace going, before ‘Dragging A Rope’ brings things to a suitably brutal close.Continue Reading
'Second Best' is formed of songs that didn’t quite make the cut for other releases and were put back into folk-punks Black Water County's back-burner, and are now ready to land on fresh ears; a reminder that things can go full circle. Celebrating collective defiance and solidarity in the face of inequality and concentrated power, 'Second Best' offers a much-needed Continue Reading
Some things never change, indeed, but that’s not always a bad thing. Straight-edge hardcore is a case in point; the genre is a well-trodden path by now, but it still sounds great if done well.Continue Reading
snake eyes is a duo composed of Jim Heffy (vocals/guitar) and Thomas Coe-Brooker (drums/vocals), and they have just released their debut album, ‘cash rich’.

I was super excited to get a review copy of the Molly Vulpyne Band's first album, 'Houndstooth and the Hum', having loved her previous EP release. Their sound refuses to be boxed in, part punk, part alternative, part melodic, part chaos and raw emotion. Painting poetic pictures with words backed up by killer punk melodies, it's a surefire hit!Continue Reading
Metalcore-style riffing and chunky breakdowns certainly have their place in hardcore, but ultimately the genre’s origins lie in punk, and kudos to Grail Guard for planting their flag firmly in punk territory - ripping through ten tracks in just over twenty minutes.Continue Reading
This record celebrates All Hallows Eve in The Darts' own customary garage / horror-punk kind of way. 'Halloween Love Songs' is a quality product and an entertaining album that will be sure to get your Halloween celebrations off to a (vampire bat) flying start!Continue Reading
