Discipline – Nice Boys Finish Last – Review

June 1, 2001

Riot-provoking Oi from Holland, of all places. Songs about being outcasts, living life free, and remaining loyal to your friends.

Deviate – State of Grace – Review

June 1, 2001

Wanna have double-kick drums and string shredding grinds with a side of hardcore polka beat? Comin’ right up!

Stigmata – Hymns For An Unknown God – Review

September 1, 1997

A hardcore band with metal leanings, the riffs (with whammy bar tricks and soloing tidbits) drag Stigmata into the mud with the rest of the keep-at-it-guys.

The World Still Won’t Listen – A Tribute to the Smiths – Review

February 1, 1997

Morrissey and Marr, as verbose, jocose and morose as any, reinterpreted by a gang of meat-munching, instrument-trashing, machismo-heavy hardcore bands.

Sub Zero – Happiness Without Peace – Review

September 1, 1996

Good, clean, slamming fun with positive messages, sing-a-long choruses, and a few funny, sampled intros.

Dare To Defy – The Weight of Disgust – Review

March 1, 1996

It’s more listenable than most extreme metal, and more filled out than most NY hardcore. The downside is that they take their negativity far too seriously.

Negative Male Child – Little Brother – Review

February 1, 1996

Innovative, heavy-as-a truck-parked on your-chest, and utilizing that metal guitar sound only to a certain extent – N.M.C. is hardcore, through and through.

Candiria – Surrealistic Madness – Review

February 1, 1996

Candiria has the power and intensity of a death metal act, but it also blends jazz, hardcore, and other worldly elements. The result is a heavy tidal wave.
