SPLITting Headache – Buncha Metal

Well, we finally made some sense out of what we want to do with this new special feature of ours, titled, as you can see, SPLITting Headache.  The problem we’ve always had with splits is that you have at least two bands, but sometimes more than that, and how do you go about reviewing that? […]

Mayak – Allegiance to None

Now here’s an interesting mix from Bielefeld, Germany.  In this modern era, you have the pontifiers of the classique, those who refuse to quit the age-old style of various genres, content with appealing to a rather stagnant fan base.  In addition to that camp you have the truly unique, those who often create a wide […]

Missiles of October – Don’t Panic

What is this some sort of Douglas Adams reference?  Listen, before we get to the punk, let it be know Deaf Sparrow does not like that novel one bit.  It was one of the most awful and overrated pieces of literature to ever pass these eyes (editor).  Isn’t that interesting?  A digression at the start of […]

Destroy All Gondolas – S/T 7″

Man, seriously, various things were sprayed out of our pants in laughter at this band’s name.  This was then followed by further confoundment when the press release was scoped from Kornalcielo Records, reading simply that these Italian crazymen played punk/surf/hardcore with a dose of Satanic imagery.  “Really,” we thought, “It’s either a joke or completely […]

Compilation Dissertation – Ball de Bastons / Makil Dantza

Been awhile since we did one of these.  So for those of you who missed out on our last one, let’s explain before we begin, because this is a lot of reading, and it should be because it’s a lot of work, thus the title of this feature. Compilation Dissertation is where we give a […]

Old Lines – No Child Left Behind

After all that Thanksgiving indulging where we questioned the existence of such a cool-to-hate-on holiday (for a number of a reasons), we were in the mood for a full-course serving of several overly-filling genres at once.  Like a turkey that’s been brined for a week in cigarette butts and street water, we were looking for […]

All Pigs Must Die: Nothing Violates This Nature

All Pigs Must Die: Nothing Violates This Nature

All Pigs Must Die is first off, a pretty fucking brutal name. Gotta give em’ credit for that. Secondly, their album, Nothing Violates This Nature, is one of the most primal and chaotic hardcore punk albums to be released in 2013. This is the kind of music that is truly unforgiving – the kind of […]
