These guys were ballsy, noisy, thrash fucks.
From the UK. Fuck me, right?
They didn't last long. What. A. Surprise.
Members can be seen in Cutting Pink With Knives,
and running the sterling Holy Roar Records.
All the best noise break up and have less than 100 listeners.
Hit this shit like the drummer of Drunkdriver hits drunk women.
Just kidding. But download this.
It's only the demo, contrary to the picture above.
But that's the best picture I could find.

Grindstone - Ready To Die demo.

Download

It's always a little weird receiving demos from good bands who aren't so sure you'll be into them. It always makes me feel a little bummed to be honest. I like hardcore. Chances are if you're hardcore and have practiced more than 5 times before you recorded your demo I'll dig you. This band is no exception. Heavy hardcore that reminds me of Modern Life Is War, though they don't really sound like them. This demo is pretty well recorded and reminds me of seeing hardcore shows in 2007. Get into it.

Gilded Age - EP

Download

Lots of No Comment worship on this one, along with a heaviness that reminds me of Hatred Surge and Endless Blockade. An insanely good release. When one of the members of the band said it might not fit on my blog I was a little offended. Shit's too good not to be on here.

Tear It Up - First Four Months

New Jersey's finest. Starkly honest and furious lyrical content and shockingly raw and manic music, paired with one of the best live performances in the Northeast while they were around. An embodiment of what true hardcore punk was while the New Jersey scene was bursting at the seams with venues, bands, and loads of kids packed into tiny rooms because of the bands, not because of a limited t-shirt they could hawk on eBay for three times the price the next afternoon.

First Four Months is almost undoubtedly Tear It Up's finest material, compiling their original demo, 7" EP on Havoc Records, and the Just Can't Stand It LP on Deranged Records. Chock full of fan favorites such as "Through Being Cute," "I Don't Care That I'm Falling Apart," "What's the Problem," "I Hate My Life," and 22 other songs of blasting, no-frills hardcore madness. Blisteringly fast drumming, shouting vocals, and finger ripping chord changes laid the foundation for a band that truly "played to destroy."

For each set of abrasive 20 to 50 second songs, Tear It Up treats us with a rare moment of music actually not played as fast as humanly possible (i.e. "Battle Scarred" or "Just Can't Stand It.") Blow out your speaker system, destroy your dorm room, or scream along until your lungs might burst, just make sure you enjoy this one. Some of their releases are still available from Deranged or Havoc, so check it out if you're so inclined.

Void - Potion For Bad Dreams

Download, if you dare

I ended up getting my hands on a bootleg tape of the final unreleased Void LP trading with some dudes who were active in punk from the late 80's on along with some other pretty cool releases (State's first 7" in tape form among them) and was vastly disappointed. I still am. You will be too. Download this record.

...And again.

I have added a forth poster to my blog: Nick of Play it Loud, a fantastic blog that unlike my own is without ridiculous typos in every post and drunken vitriolic diatribes. You should probably follow his blog rather than my own. Hell, it looks better (I only have a bootleg of Paint Shop Pro version 6, which I can thank for my blog header)

I'm currently in Southern, California. I have become increasingly aware of my hair loss at age 18. If I still were the person I was at 15 I'd be stoked that my hairline resembled that of an artist on Dischord records.

My most recent musical purchase.

Male Nurses - Demo '08

Download

Boston area band Male Nurses are fucking punk, no two ways about it. Fast, no talent fuck ups playing damn decent hardcore punk. Listening to them reminds of the first time I heard Government Warning. Total 80's throw back that would fit in well with the No Way Records and Grave Mistake crowd. Tape includes a Sick Pleasure cover for fellow 80's HC nerds.

From Ashes Rise - Live Hell

Download | Purchase

From Ashes Rise are one of the best crust bands of the last 10 years. Collected is some of their best material live from their recent reunion shows. I only wish they recorded a live version of Concrete And Steel.
