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.

Warning//Warning - Demo 2009


Warning//Warning is members of Gasmask Terror playing 80s Japanese noisecore worship. The most common two comparisons made seem to be with Confus and Lebenden Toten. Honestly, I hadn't heard either before I heard this. I can say without a doubt that this is the best demo I've heard all year. I know I've said that about all of the four or five demos I've posted, but this one trumphs the lot. Very excited about this band. The first run of the demo tape is sold out but they plan on making more. Get on it or pose forever.

Loxiran - Kinder der Zukunft Demo Tape


Loxiran are an awesome German hardcore band who were active in the mid to late 90s. They play modern-sounding metallic hardcore which stays relatively true to the gloomy, screamy sound of peers such as Angstzustand. I've heard this called 'northcore' a couple of times. This is their self-released demo tape. A photo of the tape was posted at milis tanz music, which turns out to be a pretty cool blog. This demo is awesome. Enjoy.

The O'Jays - The Best of the O'Jays


A change of pace for Christmas day. The O'Jays were a four-piece r&b/soul group from Ohio. One of the members died in 77. Every track on this record is great: a few instant hits, some growers. Anyone with even the slightest interest in this type of music should give this a listen. Great band.
