Similar to Delta 9 in the hardcore techno sounds, D.O.A. has one very specific element that distinguishes them: They’re from New York and fuckin’ proud of it.
Loud, distorted beats, high-to-superhigh BPMs, and a mix between distorted shouts, quotes from action/adventure movies, and sounds of destruction and violence.
Crumbox is from L.A. Their album was recorded in San Diego, and their label has a Laguna Beach, CA address. Yet they sound like Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Japanese metalcore with novelty kitsch, sounds as heavy as John Candy’s lard butt, and lyrics that are both insightfully metaphoric and incitefully angry.
