RottenYoungEarth

1. Intro/Bad Mouth

2. Censor

3. Beat Me

4. Mess Maker

5. IQ32

Sophomore Slump is the second album dropped by Bad Mouth. I'm pretty sure that every member of this band is younger than 18, and I'm definitely looking forward to whatever they release in the near future. A lot of the songs have a Leftover Crack, sometimes Dead Kennedys-vibe: especially "Mess Maker." Definitely give this album a listen and support some young, Midwest punks.

Hey guys, finally have this situation figured out and will be moving into the new place on the 25th. So be expecting posting very soon. Also, I am starting a compilation and will probably be releasing it on a tape so be looking out for that. A lot of awesome stuff in the future of this blog so, thank you for sticking around.

Wraiths - EP 2012

Bandcamp Facebook

Genre: Down-Tempo/Hardcore/Sludge

Year: 2013

Tracklist:

1. Pyramid Head

2. Church Burner

3. Hell Ride

4. Black Vultures

5. Monolith

Get it!

Down-Tempo band hailing from North-East UK. Another release from Witch Hunter Records, maybe the first down-tempo band from them(I may be wrong) but definitely a release worth getting, this album has so much energy, personality, and emotion. As well as being an album you can get down to and be a mosh wizard, these dudes rip out some balls to the wall heavy riffs and some cool ominous/melodic riffs. Pretty rad lyrics as well. These dudes sound somewhere similar to like Brutality Will Prevail(Sleep Paralysis), but sometimes not really, these guys really honestly have their own kind of sound and you should check it out.

Koresh - Chump

Bandcamp Facebook

Genre: Sludge/Hardcore

Year: 2013

Tracklist:

1. Straight Edge Till Midnight

2. Wogan

3. Cheer Up Glasgow

4. Bin Juice

5. Adolf Hipster

6. Shitbird

7. You Can Call Me Gaahl

Get it!

Five piece sludge group from London. Release from one of my favorite labels Witch Hunter Records and this is another album that just doesn't disappoint. Witch Hunter's roster is getting better and better each day and can't wait to see what the dude does in the future. Alright well to the description of this band, these guys play a very dirty, gritty, and acid filled sludge style in the vein of bands like Iron Monkey, Eyehategod, and Acid Bath. Not only sludge though do these guys pull off, they pull off a very great bluesy style of hardcore it sounds like to me kind of like Sabertooth Zombie. The riffs in this album will annihilate you.

School - EP

Year: 2013

Genre: Punk/Crust/D-Beat

1.Easy

2.Garbage

3.Give In

4.Being

5.Pushover

6.School

Submission from Buffalo, NY. This band plays harsh Punk that can be compared to Hoax or Cülo. I've been extremely impressed with what I've been seeing from Buffalo over the past few years with bands like Brainwreck and Water Torture. Keeping with the recent theme of Buffalo, School plays visceral music that is slam-able.

Genre: Hardcore

1. Held Back

2. Live Through Lies (ft. Bob Wilson)

3. Overlooked

4. Confined

5. Over Analyzed

A submission from Philadelphia, Crosscheck plays a pounding brand of hardcore. The band is getting signed to Dog Years Recs, which means they're going to be label-mates with Springfield's own Free At Last. Give this a download if you're a fan of Harness, Wrong Answer, Ruckus, etc.
