5 new tracks, released exclusive for Haldol s recent tour. Our take: Brand new 5-song cassette from Philadelphia’s Haldol, and they continue to evolve and push boundaries. There are things that have remained consistent across Haldol’s releases (well, at least since they moved from Nashville to Philadelphia)—the tom-heavy drumming, melodic bass lines, and tortured vocals—but…
HARM DONE from France, started in the Fall 2013. They recorded their debut 7″ in April 2014, a promo tape in May 2015, a 17 track debut LP called Abuse Abused and their split 12 with SEX PRISONER in 2017. They play some kind of cold and no frills powerviolence filled with Infest s speed,…
New band from East 7th Punx Blazing Eye members. Our take: Another 5-song demo from an LA-based band featuring members of Blazing Eye, but this time the culprits are Hate Preachers. This demo has the same perfect recording quality as Cruelty Bomb (it’s nearly as perfect as an old Inner Ear recording), but Hate Preachers…
Live recording of this ripping LA punk band, recorded August 14th, 2019. Our take: Live on the radio tape from this great band out of LA with two previous cassette releases on Suck Blood. I loved the recordings on band’s earlier cassettes—pretty much everything coming out on the Suck Blood label sounds incredible to my…
Killer 80s-style hardcore from Canada! Our take: The demo tape from this Canadian band grafts the grainy production style of bands like Armor and Protocol onto Circle Jerks-level songwriting, and I, for one, was won over instantly. If you love the Circle Jerks, you’ll also fall for Headcheese the minute you hear the 36-second track…
Minneapolis raw d-beat maniacs. Savage d-beat punk in the Disclose tradition. 8 track recording with layer on layer of noise. Pro dubbed cassettes. The band s first run of tapes was gone before most people heard of them. This shit is too good so Desolate is doing an official pressing. Get em while they last.
HOSPICE is a solo project featuring Brannon Greene of perennial Atlanta fame, who here trades his guitar for a synth and a drum machine to deliver 9 masterpieces of quotidian introspection. Are you broke? They ve got a song for you. Forever on the outside looking in? You have several tracks that speak to you….
New Montreal hardcore with members of Thee Nodes and Omegas. It s the sound of a greyly lit kitchen in some nothing town with pitched roofs and gables, the smell of stale cigars and vinegar and the taste of meat in a tube on moist bread with watery coffee -Jonah Falco
official tape repress of the 82 HOLLAND HARDCORE classic from the village Haren near Groningen originally released on R.I.P. OFF Recordz and professionally restored and remastered by Ivan Jakić at KUT SOBE Mastering studios. Jetset played raw HC punk with female vocals influenced by early Discharge and Crass records, similar to Agent Orange, Bloedbad, Pandemonium,…
Brand new 5-song cassette from the almighty Judy & the Jerks! FFO of fast hardcore and fun. Our take: Latest cassette from this band out of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. With a pile of cassette releases (no vinyl to date!) and hailing from a town few people have ever heard of, Judy & the Jerks aren’t on…
