10’s – Records With History And Future

We Used To Speak Of Justice

This post is about a big contester for my favorite release of the year. Repentance “The Sickness Of Eden” is a crusher from beginning to end. Listening to it gives […]

Revelation Records

I’m Into Another

Indeed it happens now and then. I catch myself being too much into another so that I get confused at times as to who I really am. This admiration of […]

DEFEATER Letters Home LP

I’ve been ignorant to Defeater way too long. It was in a conversation between Ed Good Life and me that I became aware about Defeater’s work and impact. I was […]

Reaper Records

Angel Du$t "A.D." review

Angel Du$t is a band that’s hard to describe. After listening a few times to their newest release called “A.D.”, I think it’s a good album, it’s different, unpredictable and […]

New York Hardcore

Sheer Terror "Standing Up For Falling Down" LP

The new Sheer Terror record is surprisingly good lay-outed. The […]

NO ZODIAC Population Control LP

Figured to have a look inside the negative side of modern Straight-edge hardcore or beatdown. One can’t ignore the fact that kids buy this, listen to this and actually think […]

Belgian Hardcore

TOXIC SHOCK Daily Demons LP

I just picked up a parcel at the post office from the brotherhood country The Netherlands. It was sent by the label Reflections Records. That label released good titles recently, […]

Belgian Hardcore

GRIM The Seeds Of Love EP

Just out is the first ep of the Belgian band Grim. I anticipated this one eagerly. I was already familiar with their demo. And also liked it a lot, that’s […]

ANGEL DU$T Xtra Raw 7 inch

After listening to this music for the first twenty seconds I was interrupted by a phone call. But the tune stayed stuck in my head for the next hour. When […]

Genre defining: Providence VS Hoodz

I like the United States versus Europe approach of Providence. Previous 7 inches vinyl featuring Providence versus King Of Clubz was clearly showing the difference between the two regions. Or magnifying […]

Reaper Records

Black Scale X Reaper Records

Collecting Reaper Records seems to be my full-time occupation lately. So dedicated that I bought another “Live By The Code” version. Actually a special marriage between Black Scale and Reaper […]

Reaper Records

The Ultra Clear Code

When an attentive reader of my blog, proved to me that – unlike what Reaper told me – there was a one version missing of my instant Live By The […]

New York Hardcore

DISTRICT 9 SouthBronxMemoirs

NYHC is flourishing and more alive and kicking than ever. Man, look at my last series of posts, almost all dedicated to that. This time straight from the South Bronx, […]

New York Hardcore

BACKTRACK Dog Pound Nation

Hardcore isn’t pretty. A phrase said to me by a hardcore veteran. And it’s true that real life Hardcore is far from pretty record covers and vinyl colors. Life isn’t […]

Reaper Records

Out Crowd Tourpress 7 inch

And another one that’s missing from the Reaper Records discography… A special cover version of the OUT CROWD “Just Us” 7 inch. One you’ve probably never seen. Since it’s not […]

Reaper Records

Take Offense UNITED BLOOD 2012

One of my major wants up next, also from Reaper Records. The one that’s erased from the want list is a version of the latest TAKE OFFENSE release. I liked […]
