Bitter End - Mind In Chains CDEP (Malfunction Records)
|
 |
Mixing old NYHC like KILLING TIME, BREAKDOWN, and MADBALL with their own style of Texas hardcore gives us five songs that could best be described as "a bar-room brawl set to a breakdown". Mind In Chains is the beginning, a call to arms.

Blue Monday/Go it Alone Split CD (Rivalry Records)
|
 |
Vancouver's best have come together to produce the GO IT ALONE / BLUE MONDAY Split EP. More than just a hometown to them, Vancouver, British Columbia, not only defines these two as bands, it has shaped them as people. This record visually and musically showcases the bands, the people, and the common bond that they share. Each band contributes 3 songs in total: 2 brand new original songs, plus a RESERVE 34 cover (a Vancouver band from the past, fronted by roadie and best friend, Matt Smith). These 6 songs are along the same lines as those featured on each band's respective LPs: socio-charged melodic hardcore that suggests there's still so much more left to say than simply regurgitating the usual hardcore dogmas. However, particular departures from the LPs do exist, most notably GO IT ALONE's hardest song to date, "Ovaltine", and BLUE MONDAY's continuation down a more melodic path. This isn't just an amalgamation of b-sides and sub-par songs thrown together and titled a "split", this is a collection of songs and a release that stands proudly on its own.

|
 |

Champion/Betrayed Split CD (Rivalry Records)
|
 |
This split E.P. combines 3 brand new exclusive songs from one of hardcore's most recognized bands, CHAMPION, with 3 new songs from one of hardcore's most exciting new bands, BETRAYED (featuring 2 members of CHAMPION and 2 members of CARRY ON). Both bands play fast, yet melodic hardcore in the vein of CHAIN OF STRENGTH and CARRY ON, though both bands complement each other with different departures from the same traditional sound. CHAMPION's style is most definitely rooted in late 1980's hardcore with added melodic flavor, similar to that of TURNING POINT, while BETRAYED has defined their sound somewhere between the aforementioned bands and seminal D.C. hardcore punk legends MINOR THREAT and EMBRACE. This E.P. represents the next chapter in the lives of both of these bands, with an overwhelming message of taking control and making the most of your life.

Ceremony- Violence Violence CD (Malfunction Records)
|
 |
After a well received demo (1000 printed) and a debut 7" that sold 2,000 copies in less than a year, Ceremony gives us "Violence Violence," their 15 song debut full length. If "Ruined" was their declaration, "Violence Violence" is their first wave assault, a soundtrack to wage war. A war against everything that hardcore has stood against, but now has been co-opted into its ranks. There's no TRL song on here, there's nothing that'll be heard at a school dance. Hardcore for the hardcore. CD includes the out-of-print "Ruined" 7" as bonus tracks, and the LP is limited gatefold. As seen on tour with Lights Out & Go it Alone.

Guns Up! -
All this is CDEP (1917 Records)
|
 |
Bringing to the table honesty, intensity, and an unrivaled fury, Guns Up! from Haverhill, Mass. are quickly becoming a favorite up and down the East Coast. While ripping out tunes in the old-school New York-style, it's the unrelenting barrage of hard riffs fused with their genuine lyrics and abusive vocals that defines the Guns Up! sound (White Vinyl).

|
Killing the Dream - In Place Apart CD (Deathwish Inc.)

Learn - Life and... (Malfunction Records)
|
 |
Started in 2003, LEARN burst onto the vibrant Rhode Island scene with a demo impressing everyone within earshot. The band was quickly snatched up for a debut 7 on Bottled Up Records, which sold quickly for such a new group (1,000 pressed to date). After a successful USA tour with friends in HAVE HEART, Life And... was written. In these 7 new songs LEARN shows the maturity of an established band, blending elements of historic Cleveland hardcore (like the almighty INTEGRITY) with the modern flavor played by their peers such as MODERN LIFE IS WAR.

Right On - Reality Vacation (Malfunction Records)
|
 |
Right On takes more from bands like Lights Out and Outbreak; where a conversation that runs too long could make you miss their highly energetic and spontaneous style of fast trashy yet youth crew based hardcore. Right On's debut "No Joke" sold nearly 2,000 copies just by word of mouth and advertisements in regional fanzines. "Reality Vacation" progresses where the first 7" left off, songs not written with words needing interpretation. Right On will call you an asshole right to your face if you deserve it. Honesty never sounded so good. 24 tracks!!!

|
Rise & Falls- Into Oblivion (Deathwish Inc.)
|
 |
With "Into Oblivion", RISE AND FALL captures the kind of all encompassing emotional darkness and white knuckle violence that few bands ever artistically achieve. From the unbridled ferocity of "Forked Tongues" to the sonic desolation of "Ruins", the album is truly jaw dropping. Re-igniting even the most jaded of hardcore/punk hearts with it's unforgettable musical presence and power. As seen on tour with Blacklisted, Converge & Guns UP
|
|
