Plead The Fifth - Demo 2009


Plead The Fifth are a hardcore band from Sacramento, heavily influenced by late-80s/early-90s hardcore bands, particularly Youth of Today & Cro-Mags. Hardcore fucking rules.
Demo

On Point - Look Me In The Eyes Demo


Awesome edge youth crew hardcore from Orange County. Not far off other Cali 90s revival bands like Insted. Really solid demo. Stoked I've got a copy of the US version. There are a few EU coming out on Brainwreck soon -- don't sleep on it!

Blocked Out - Demo 2008


Older demo now. Blocked Out are a cool hardcore band from Manhattan Beach, California. They remind me of the Miracle Mile a good bit: mid-tempo and slightly chunny (90s-style) hardcore meets fast and trashy hardcore. Some tracks just boil down to all-out, raging Ringworm-worship though! Been spinning this most of yesterday. Recommended.

Black Channels - Demo II


Awesome chaotic screamo from Glasgow. Along the lines of End of The Century Party, maybe? Just made this demo available for free download. Awesome band. If you stay near Glasgow, come see them play with Battle of Wolf & Resurrectionists on 29/03/2010! Mosh hard.

Punch - Self Titled LP


One of the best hardcore LPs of 2009. Punch are touring the UK & Europe with Comadre and playing CMAR later this year. Exciting.

Moshy, metallic hardcore from Boston in the vein of 90s NYHC like Cro-Mags or Vision of Disorder.

Eating Glass - Feed Them To The Vultures


Eating Glass are an unreasonably pissed hardcore band from Ontario Canada. They play thrashy, metallic hardcore that isn't too far off Left For Dead or Haymaker with some short, dark instrumental passages punctuating it. Highly recommended. I have some tracks off a split with Blackbirds that, to my knowledge, didn't happen. I'll up them if there's any interest. Great record.

Coke Bust - Lines In The Sand


Coke Bust are an edge hardcore band from DC with members of Magrudergrind. They play fast hardcore in the vein of Blank Stare or maybe Punch's 2007 Demo. Lines In The Sand is one of the most consistently solid hardcore records of the last year. Every song is great. Definitely get a hold of this.
