Various Artists Red Scare Industries: 10 Years Of Your Dumb Bullshit It’s hard to believe that Red Scare Industries has already been around for 10 years, but here we are with their 10 Years Of Your Dumb Bullshit compilation, featuring 17 new songs by some of their favorite roster bands throughout the past decade. Some of […]

Moral Mazes - Magic Tommy Jackson EP

Moral Mazes Magic Tommy Jackson EP Any band featuring noted indie producer and former Jawbox guitarist/vocalist J. Robbins, as well as former Kerosene 454 drumming phenom Darren Zentek, will immediately raise some eyebrows for those who are familiar with the Dischord Records back catalog. The pair did it in 2011 with Office Of Future Plans, […]

The Holy Mess - Comfort In The Discord

The Holy Mess Comfort In The Discord Although they’ve hovered on the fringes of the gruff-punk scene so far, Philadelphia's the Holy Mess deserve more attention—and Comfort In The Discord, their latest album in an increasingly long line of releases, should be the one to get it for them. Recorded live in the studio over […]

The Copyrights - No Knocks EP

The Copyrights No Knocks EP Writing catchy music that sticks can be a real task, but it’s one that Illinois pop-punk four-piece the Copyrights have mastered throughout the past decade since their humble beginnings. Now several albums in, the band are back with No Knocks, a three-song EP on Fat Wreck Chords, which could be the start […]

Islander Violence & Destruction With their roots firmly planted in the DIY hardcore scene, South Carolina’s Islander now face the precarious position of becoming a full-fledged rock band. With that comes some awkwardness, like vocalist Mikey Carvajal’s insistence on employing the many vocal tricks of one of his obvious influences, Chino Moreno. Done subtly, this […]

Madball - Hardcore Lives

Madball Hardcore Lives The coolest thing about New York hardcore institution Madball, led by singer Freddy Cricien, is their fervent support of the scene that birthed them. Not only have they stayed true to their roots, delivering album after album of high-quality, breakdown-heavy hardcore, they’ve also served as mentors for the next generation of windmill-friendly […]

Rise Against return July 15 with their seventh album, The Black Market, but some may be surprised at the lyrical and musical direction of the Chicago punk band’s new offering. The quartet returned to the Blasting Room studio in Fort Collins, Colorado, with producers Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore and began the process of writing […]

The Front Bottoms - Rose EP

The Front Bottoms Rose EP Still riding uncontrollably high off the potent fumes of their stellar 2013 album, Talon Of The Hawk, New Jersey’s the Front Bottoms are back with a stopgap EP of fan favorites from their rambunctious live sets. The first in a series of EPs named after the band members' grandmothers (this […]
