From Chicago, produced in MA by the dude who did Hatebreed. A chugging monster permeated with hardcore roar. Some breakdowns, plenty of thrashing riffs.
A three-disc set that includes a “documentary,” four live shows, and an extensive amount of amateur footage of the Swedish death metal band over the years.
Bare feet and beards, acoustic hotel jams, country songs, and a band of six friggin’ Crowes, a four-piece brass section, and two black chick back-up singers.
Similar to Loved Ones and Lawrence Arms, Dead To Me take rawer punk’s ferocious attack and temper it with melodic turns a la Descendents, Misfits, Fifteen, etc.
A Japanese-only split that’ll cost you a bundle, but you get three new songs from The Band Apart and Mock Orange, two acts who are among the best in indie rock.
A live CD and DVD from a fave classic heavy metal band. From Finland, recorded in Japan, a tight-as-shit band able to pull off everything played on the CD.
Concise slices of punk energy, top-notch musicianship, intelligent twists and turns, and pop catchiness done by people who enjoy nutrition with their glucose.
