PLANET Y - "s/t" demo


PLANEY Y - "st" demo
This is a new band from Copenhagen with a lot of young'ins busting the punk jams for ya'll. No mystery,they totally rule! Right up in that GORILLA ANGREB style... but the drummer has a lot of work to do if he wants to keep up with Tommas ;) Naw that's a joke..haha, this is his first few months of playing and he is solid. Great demo!!! Looking out for the next release for sure.

KRIMEWATCH-"s/t" Demo

























KRIMEWATCH-"s/t" Demo
This band is punk as hell but have some rager hardcore breakdowns. This is raw and honest, and as perfect as a demo gets in this guys opinion.

MALCONTENT-"2016" Demo

























MALCONTENT-"2016" Demo
This new Boston band (or maybe it's a solo project?) has some good chops. They fit right in with the current hardcore revival that seems to be taking hold in Boston. I'm all for it! Good demo for real.


NOCTURNAL SCUM-"s/t" Demo


























NOCTURNAL SCUM-"s/t" Demo
Hailing from Berlin these people are working hard in the Stenchcore genre to bring back the filthy raw noise of the mid 80s. Good first effort!

AMERICAN HATE-"s/t" Demo
This shit is raw and gritty and super punk. Love that bands like this exist in Oklahoma! Weirdo punk that sometimes even reminds me of RUDIMENTARY PENI. I want to see this band live.

JUNTA-"Aranhas" Cassette


























JUNTA-"Aranhas" Cassette
JUNTA from Copenhagen Denmark play some primordial blend of punk and VENOM. It's a good dirty listen and leaves me wondering what their next output will sound like. Check it.


ISOTOPE-"Final Wind of Mercy" Demo


























ISOTOPE-"Final Wind of Mercy" Demo
This band from Oakland California play really driving Japanese influenced hardcore. They are really proficient musically and are definitely a band to check out. This came out in 2014 but it's a great demo so why not put it up.

PROTESTER-"Paincave Sessions" Demo

























PROTESTER-"Paincave Sessions" Demo
This band from Washington DC play straight up hardcore in the same style as a lot of Boston bands these days. Really straight forward and cool. This band is touring Europe this summer 2016 so check them out.


FINAL-"s/t" Demo


























FINAL-"s/t" Demo
This band is from Bogota Columbia, and play straight up punk. Good demo. Looking forward to hear more in the future.



RECKLESS-"El Dorado" 7" (Demo)


























RECKLESS-"El Dorado"
This band from Oakland, Cali are just getting better and better. They have a sound that reminds me of AGNOSTIC FRONT (Victim in Pain era), and SICK PLEASURE, two bands that are high on my list of best HC bands of all time. Give this a listen or two all the way through. Best songs come later..


COMMANDO-"Come Out Fighting" Demo


























COMMANDO-"Come Out Fighting" Demo
Got this demo from Brandon Ferrell the drummer of GOVERNMENT WARNING which was one of the most memorable bands from early oughts. COMMANDO definitely doesn't disappoint. This fits right in with a band like REMNANTS from S.F. with it's heavy midwest hardcore vibe. I can't help but think of EFFFIGIES, ARTICLES OF FAITH, and NYC's KRAUT has to be an influence. This is perfect for my taste as I'm sure most punks who grew up on 80's USHC will dig it too.

REMNANTS-"Ruff Mix" Demo


























REMNANTS-"Ruff Mix" Demo
This band is from San Francisco, CA. and shares members with RULETA RUSA and COLD BEAT two great bands with plenty of material to sink your teeth into. The sound of REMNANTS is old school 80'a hardcore in the vein of ARTICLES OF FAITH, NAKED RAYGUN, I even hear some early GG & THE JABBERS. Great demo, great live band.

MACHINE GUN-"The World is Sick" Demo

























MACHINE GUN-"The World is Sick" Demo

This is a new Philly band. Reminds me of lots of good non-specific USHC bands. Actually I'm leaning towards early 2000's NYC band WRECKAGE who in this guys opinion were a top band. Check this out.
