    Kiper is back with another great EP release and this time they’re offering us three brand new tracks.

    Tireless Aaron Bedard is back with a Slip Death, a brand new album by his band Antagonize! After countless worldwide tours and tons of great albums with Bane, the band has decided to call it quits.

    Defeater – Defeater LP (Epitaph Records)

    After eleven years and four albums, Defeater treated us with a brand new self-titled album. They kept us waiting for four long years since their Abandoned LP, but with a more than a good reason.

  • Provoke – Still Here 7”

    Provoke – Still Here 7”

    Recently, I’ve stumbled upon a very promising hardcore punk band from Oakland, California. I was impressed by the sheerness of their sound, monumental guitar riffs which are bringing old school hardcore punk back on the map with a style, gritty distorted basslines, very impressive maniacally fast drumming and last, but most important, brilliant female vocals…

  • Getting Away With Treason – Welcome

    Getting Away With Treason – Welcome

    Can’t even remember when I was this excited while listening to some new music, especially because it’s one of my favorite genres, melodic hardcore punk. But it would be so foolish of me if I would just categorize Getting Away With Treason as just a plain and simple melodic hardcore punk band. Their debut material…

    Bob Malmström is a Finnish quartet comprised of some skillful musicians who are playing something between crust punk, black metal, and hardcore punk, but in a very sarcastic way. Their well-produced music is followed up by a very luxurious lifestyle, including some fancy wardrobe, drinking expensive champaigne, smoking Cuban cigarettes, driving fast expensive cars and…

  • Mud Dog – Strike Back EP

    Mud Dog – Strike Back EP

    This year has been damn fine for the hardcore punk scene so far. Tons of newer bands proved that we have to sit back, relax and have nothing to worry about the future of the genre. Bunch of them just copy pasted same old riffs, added some flow to the tunes, but everything is the…
