Another explosive skull-cracker from this pummeling hardcore trio that flat out attacks and kills, leaving the corpse of classic rock for dead in the woods in the process. Sharing the stage with bands as diverse as Waxwing and The Locust, this musical assault will leave you wondering "what the hell just happened?!". Chaotic, spastic hardcore punk with an appearance on Sub Pop's "NWHC Comp", this kids are just getting started. Crazy-heavy bass and drums, with guitar riffs that soar in majestic, eagle-like glory. LP pressed on diamond colored clear vinyl with clear hand-screened PVC covers. (taken from interpunk.com)
From their instru-metal, math-rock roots to a vocalized, hard-hitting rock beast, Chicago's AMERICAN HERITAGE deliver a heavy-weight amalgam of technical prowess and focused power on their Escape Artist debut. BIPOLAR eschews the gloss and glamour of today's hardcore/metal model, opting for a gritty, street-level dirge, intensifying their turbulent and primal approach. AMERICAN HERITAGE skillfully assemble complex songs and angular arrangements without sacrificing the nuances and rhythmic qualities they have come to be known for. Bipolar collects unreleased and new material spanning several recordings by past and present incarnations, and solidifies AMERICAN HERITAGE as one of the premier instrumental indie/math rock bands in the US.

Purity's Failure is a four-piece rock band from Boston Massachusetts. They formed in 1994 and have retained their original lineup to this day. In the spring of 2003 purity's failure entered New Alliance Studio in Boston to begin recording a new EP with Andrew Schneider. The sessions were some of the greatest experiences the band has ever enjoyed. The understanding and enthusiasm of Andrew Schneider helped to realize the potential of the new songs, and the resulting recording is without question the band's greatest achievement to this point.
Debut full-length for this San Diego band. The debut album from VIA SATELLITE member-and contributor to many others-SCOTT MERCADO under his MANUOK banner.

Check some of their sound on purevolume.
Full-length from this Seattle band. The band's music can be described as raw punk 'n' roll from the street. The lyrics reflect bad relationships, personal conflicts, problems that anyone can relate to, and the darker side of life in general.

The Rabid Dogs have been compared with Iggy and the Stooges, David Bowie, Ramones, The Dead Boys, The Heartbreakers, and Slaughter and the Dogs.
Balancing between the beauty of life and the struggles that plague it, Ammi makes a soundtrack for the everyman (and everywoman).

After self-releasing The Hymnal EP in 2003, Ammi have taken their new record, "Laodicea" and joined the family at Common Cloud Records.
Boston garage/punk/dirtbag R&B dynamos the TURPENTINE BROTHERS have finally recorded their debut album, a high energy 12 songster seemingly equally inspired by the OBLIVIANS' gospel album, thrift store 45's bearing the Fortune, Stax, and Etiquette imprints, and the fractured guitar freakouts of their longtime faves the CHEATER SLICKS.
LA’s THE HAVOC return with a follow up to their smashing 2003 debut album “Our Rebellion Has Just Begun”. Evolving as a tighter, heavier band, THE HAVOC’s sound has matured and is sure to please fans of the mighty MOTORHEAD! “Road Warrior” is a punk rock anthem to be reckoned with and serves as a taste of things to come on their upcoming second full-length album, available on Punk Core in late 2005.

Washington D.C.'s Summer's End have signed to hand of hope records. Rising from the ashes of previous bands, Abysmal Gates and Blood Runs Cold, guitarist John Letzkus and vocalist Josh Hansen had failed at the attempt of finding band members in New Jersey. Shortly after John moved back to Maryland to find members to fill the remaining positions of the band in the late fall. John then called friend/ex-bandmate Dave Eaton from previous band Burned To Ashes. Then the hunt was on to find a rhythm guitarist and bassist who fit the needed requirements. Soon after, rhythm guitarist Paul Macatee was discovered. The band begun to start writing material for a demo they planned on recording late winter. Soon after the recording was complete, bassist/friend Buckey came in for a temporary fill in for upcoming shows and after the first performance witnessed by the band they realized that it would be a mistake to let him go. The completed band line up had opened more things for the band such as touring, and having shared the staged with some bands such as, Gotham Road, As I Lay Dying, Chimaira, Haste, Caliban, Sworn Enemy, Anthrax, Tubring, Shadows Fall, and Integrity. The band is prepared for anything, and has the drive to show the fans of all genres of music what its truly about.

Brand New from Causey Way folks! Pilot Scott Tracy takes a two-pronged approach: Scott pairs his fuzzed-out guitar with manic vocals while Tracy's tender voice floats over polished synth pop leads-kinda like getting Man... Or Astroman and Ladytron, or The Polysics and Stereo Total in one band. Brand New from the pioneers of the punk-new wave hybrid you love to pop out to!
Alternative Tentacles Records is proud to present the fourth full-length explosion from soul-garage mainstays The Bellrays. The whole punk and soul craze started here. From the moment they burst onto the international stage, the reaction has been "WOW!" Among the early converts were Jello Biafra, who came away from his first dose raving, "At last! Picture Tina Turner or Aretha Franklin fronting a garage band. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time!"
At once sexy and intelligent, passionate and stark, The Bellrays are like a kick in the balls from James Brown: we like to call their music "Maximum Rock & Soul." They splice together the Rock (yep, with a capital R) of MC5, The Stooges, and The Who with the groove of Parliament, James Brown, and Miles Davis. The Bellrays belt out visceral music that emanates straight from the heart. Lead singer Lisa Kekaula's soulfully electric vocals perfect the gritty bluesmeets-garage instrumentation, upping the emotional power to overdrive. This is the domestic release of their now-out-of-print 4th cd from last year!
Formed in the Summer of 2000, YOU WILL DIE consists of three members each bring a unique musical background to the table. Scoth (known for drumming for such well respected Indianapolis bands as ICE NINE, BLATHERSKITE, and currently punk outfit PIZZLE) has been lauded numerous times for his talent as a drummer and this shines through in YOU WILL DIE. Also known for his drumming abilities (with Indianapolis rockers MARMOSET and THE GREAT BIG HUGE), Jason instead mans the bass guitar for YOU WILL DIE, pouring his multi-instrument abilities into the band's rhythm section. YOU WILL DIE's guitarist, Errol, has been abusing his guitar for years (with numerous hardcore/punk groups including NO OUTLET and D.V.) and serves as the perfect touch in this trio's instrumental sound. Together, the three create original music drawing from metal, doom, grind, hard rock, and even blues. Utilizing off time signatures and graceful yet quirky transitions, YOU WILL DIE pull off creating an instrumental sound that never seems boring or self indulgent. Looking to the future and having built a strong local hype around their innovative sound, YOU WILL DIE knew the time to record their debut was coming. Teaming up with fellow Hoosiers Hawthorne Street Records, the band will be recording and releasing their debut full length early 2005.
Waiting for Something is Steal The Air's first EP. This inital effort has produced 6 degrees of what it is to be energetic indie rock. The 6 song EP was recorded with producer/engineer Chris Badami (producer of early november, starting line, dillinger escape plan) at his studio, Portrait Studios. From their so called single "again" to the emotion in the tracks titled "death of me" and "grain of sand" Steal The Air's "Waiting for Something" EP offers something special for everyone.

Chicago's Morning Recordings have signed a deal with Better Looking Records. If you were familiar with the band Melochrome, then this is certainly up your alley.

Venice, California-based thrashers Beowulf (not to be confused with the earlier, L.A.-based hard rockers by the same name) formed in 1984 and featured singer/guitarist Dale Henderson, guitarist Mike Jensen, bassist Paul Yemada, and drummer Michael Alvarado. Friendly from the start with local legends Suicidal Tendencies, the quartet contributed two tracks to 1985's Suicidal Records' compilation Welcome to Venice, and then quickly recorded and released their self-titled debut a year later. This was followed by 1988's Lost My Head...But I'm Back on the Right Track L.P., which was issued through Caroline Records and featured a thrashy version of Smokey Robinson's "Cruising." Sadly, none of the above could help distinguish Beowulf from the era's teeming thrash metal throngs, and the group decided to split up a short time later.

Shai Hulud has become one of the more influential bands in hardcore. This is partly due to them surviving longer and through more line-up changes than most bands and still managing to put out great music in each incarnation. A Comprehensive Retrospective is a collection of the early recordings made by the band (hence the subtitle "Or: How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Release Bad and Useless Recordings").

A new song is up at Lambgoat.com (January 2005).
Expect a CDEP from this Bergen County, NJ band in January on Eyeball Records. The Number Twelve is made up of an eclectic collection of musicians that all add a certain "flavor" when making up the compositions of a sound that cannot be pigeonholed into one genre. Since the formation of the band they have recorded songs, traveled the country in a beat up van playing these songs, and made a ton of merch for themselves. This cycle continued for around two years until the people at Eyeball Records decided they would give this raggedy group of gents a shot. The Number Twelve now plans to work on new full-length due out on Eyeball in 2005, and to tour so much that people get so sick of seeing them that they violently vomit.
Swedish band with a new release on Eyeball Records. "Close enough" was recorded in studio Atlantis, in Stockholm, Sweden, during two days in

The Black Maria have signed with Victory Records! They started recording at the end of July 2004 in Toronto and Los Angeles with producer Mike Green (Yellowcard, Matches) and Rob Sanzo (Sum 41, Voivod), while Mike Green and Joe Baressi (Weezer, Queens Of The Stone Age) mixed it. The Black Maria proves their versatility on the album, with delicate piano, harmonized vocals framing some of the harshest narrative on ìThe Lines We Crossî. ìBetrayalî comes up swinging, with anthemic choruses and tough guitar hooks offset by a dark, foreboding rhythm section and a tremolo-packed layer of guitar noise adding depth. ìThe Mementoî enters on an eerie note, with a wavering organ that drops abruptly into space, supplanted by aggressive guitars, a wicked bass line and truly bitter lyrics.

Not even Ronald Reagan's death could exterminate the tenacious 80s yuppie, who now seeks to exploit our precious punk heritage in the form of The Yuppie Pricks from Austin, TX! High 80s literature like Bright Lights, Big City and American Psycho gave us a glimpse of the decadent, narcissistic yuppie lifestyle, but Broker's Banquet rubs our lower tax-bracket noses in mountains of cocaine and Wolfgang Puck pizzas.
An EP of remixes, follows up the full-length album "A Name Writ in Water", released in April 2004. Hrishikesh Hirway (aka The One AM Radio) creates intricate, lush compositions that Pitchfork said "simply feel colossal". On this record, seven of his songs are deconstructed and reinterpreted by a cast of luminaries. The line-up includes avant hip-hop auteur DAEDELUS (Ninja Tune/Mush/Plug Research/Eastern Dev), minimalist tech-house veteran JOHN TEJADA (Plug Research/Palette), ambient experimentalist THE WIND-UP BIRD (Music Fellowship/Translucence), shoegazey beatmaker CAURAL (Chocolate Industries), and Anticon MC and producer ALIAS.

AMERICA IS WAITING hail from Texas and will blow you away. Featuring ex members of Pop Unknown and Mineral, they sound like neither of those bands!

ENTREAT. are from Slovenia. That for itself doesn't say much, but if you are familiar with other bands from that country you will agree that they all feature a certain melancholic turbulence in their music. Clean tone guitars have mixed up many music definitions and the way ENTREAT. play their guitars labeled them emo-metal. However, their roots lie somewhere else: in the North, deep in Swedish hardcore and metal. Now, finally out, from the infamous Alpha Omega studio, released by Moonlee Records, comes Deincubation, their second album, named after the very process through which it came into existence. ENTREAT. presents perceptions gathered in the past and marks new directions. They point the way they are going, taking their music with them.

This should be out in Spring 2005. Deadman Walking is the brainchild of longtime friends Riche Kontrol and Paul Geroso. Both musicians had come from the band A-o.k., which had broken up in 1998. Taking what they had learned from their previous experiences, along with Norman they forged a sound of heavy rock and aggressive lyrics that were deeply rooted in rock and roll, punk, and metal music, but at the same time created a new and infectious energy. Deadman Walking unveil their own style of dark rock n roll on their upcoming debut full length for GC. The speed of skate punk melted into the darkness of early 80s rock.

Bipolar collects unreleased and new material spanning several recordings by past and present incarnations, and solidifies AMERICAN HERITAGE as one of the premier instrumental indie/math rock bands in the US.

Purity's Failure is a four-piece rock band from Boston Massachusetts. They formed in 1994 and have retained their original lineup to this day. In the spring of 2003 purity's failure entered New Alliance Studio in Boston to begin recording a new EP with Andrew Schneider. The sessions were some of the greatest experiences the band has ever enjoyed. The understanding and enthusiasm of Andrew Schneider helped to realize the potential of the new songs, and the resulting recording is without question the band's greatest achievement to this point.
Debut full-length for this San Diego band. The debut album from VIA SATELLITE member-and contributor to many others-SCOTT MERCADO under his MANUOK banner.

Balancing between the beauty of life and the struggles that plague it, Ammi makes a soundtrack for the everyman (and everywoman). Ammi explores many aspects of music, infusing dynamic guitar work with a gentle-yet-assertive bass and drums foundation, topped off with explosively convicting vocals. After self-releasing The Hymnal EP in 2003, Ammi have taken their new record, "Laodicea" and joined the family at Common Cloud Records.
Boston garage/punk/dirtbag R&B dynamos the TURPENTINE BROTHERS have finally recorded their debut album, a high energy 12 songster seemingly equally inspired by the OBLIVIANS' gospel album, thrift store 45's bearing the Fortune, Stax, and Etiquette imprints, and the fractured guitar freakouts of their longtime faves the CHEATER SLICKS.

Rising from the ashes of previous bands, Abysmal Gates and Blood Runs Cold, guitarist John Letzkus and vocalist Josh Hansen had failed at the attempt of finding band members in New Jersey. Shortly after John moved back to Maryland to find members to fill the remaining positions of the band in the late fall.

Brand New from Causey Way folks! Pilot Scott Tracy takes a two-pronged approach: Scott pairs his fuzzed-out guitar with manic vocals while Tracy's tender voice floats over polished synth pop leads-kinda like getting Man... Or Astroman and Ladytron, or The Polysics and Stereo Total in one band. Brand New from the pioneers of the punk-new wave hybrid you love to pop out to!
Alternative Tentacles Records is proud to present the fourth full-length explosion from soul-garage mainstays The Bellrays. The whole punk and soul craze started here. From the moment they burst onto the international stage, the reaction has been "WOW!" Among the early converts were Jello Biafra, who came away from his first dose raving, "At last! Picture Tina Turner or Aretha Franklin fronting a garage band. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time!"
At once sexy and intelligent, passionate and stark, The Bellrays are like a kick in the balls from James Brown: we like to call their music "Maximum Rock & Soul." They splice together the Rock (yep, with a capital R) of MC5, The Stooges, and The Who with the groove of Parliament, James Brown, and Miles Davis. The Bellrays belt out visceral music that emanates straight from the heart. Lead singer Lisa Kekaula's soulfully electric vocals perfect the gritty bluesmeets-garage instrumentation, upping the emotional power to overdrive. This is the domestic release of their now-out-of-print 4th cd from last year!
Waiting for Something is Steal The Air's first EP. This inital effort has produced 6 degrees of what it is to be energetic indie rock.

From their so called single "again" to the emotion in the tracks titled "death of me" and "grain of sand" Steal The Air's "Waiting for Something" EP offers something special for everyone.

Check out 
Venice, California-based thrashers Beowulf (not to be confused with the earlier, L.A.-based hard rockers by the same name) formed in 1984 and featured singer/guitarist Dale Henderson, guitarist Mike Jensen, bassist Paul Yemada, and drummer Michael Alvarado. Friendly from the start with local legends Suicidal Tendencies, the quartet contributed two tracks to 1985's Suicidal Records' compilation Welcome to Venice, and then quickly recorded and released their self-titled debut a year later. This was followed by 1988's Lost My Head...But I'm Back on the Right Track L.P., which was issued through Caroline Records and featured a thrashy version of Smokey Robinson's "Cruising." Sadly, none of the above could help distinguish Beowulf from the era's teeming thrash metal throngs, and the group decided to split up a short time later.

Shai Hulud has become one of the more influential bands in hardcore. This is partly due to them surviving longer and through more line-up changes than most bands and still managing to put out great music in each incarnation.

A new song is up at Lambgoat.com (January 2005).
Expect a CDEP from this Bergen County, NJ band in January on Eyeball Records. The Number Twelve is made up of an eclectic collection of musicians that all add a certain "flavor" when making up the compositions of a sound that cannot be pigeonholed into one genre. Since the formation of the band they have recorded songs, traveled the country in a beat up van playing these songs, and made a ton of merch for themselves. This cycle continued for around two years until the people at Eyeball Records decided they would give this raggedy group of gents a shot. The Number Twelve now plans to work on new full-length due out on Eyeball in 2005, and to tour so much that people get so sick of seeing them that they violently vomit.

The five-piece have been bubbling over and with the release of To Live In Discontent the band offers a rare insight into the history of their undeniable hooks and ferocious energy.

The Black Maria have signed with Victory Records! They started recording at the end of July 2004 in Toronto and Los Angeles with producer Mike Green (Yellowcard, Matches) and Rob Sanzo (Sum 41, Voivod), while Mike Green and Joe Baressi (Weezer, Queens Of The Stone Age) mixed it. The Black Maria proves their versatility on the album, with delicate piano, harmonized vocals framing some of the harshest narrative on ìThe Lines We Crossî. ìBetrayalî comes up swinging, with anthemic choruses and tough guitar hooks offset by a dark, foreboding rhythm section and a tremolo-packed layer of guitar noise adding depth. ìThe Mementoî enters on an eerie note, with a wavering organ that drops abruptly into space, supplanted by aggressive guitars, a wicked bass line and truly bitter lyrics. 
Live show for legendary Circle Jerks, recorded in April 2004, this is part of Kung Fu's "The Show Must Go Off" Series.
Lincoln's premiere hard-core band with their third album. 10 songs of blistering fast hardcore with thunderous yet melodic guitars, machine gun drums, anti-government sentiments- heartfelt but not emo. Plus 2 instrumentals to let you catch your breath.
Not even Ronald Reagan's death could exterminate the tenacious 80s yuppie, who now seeks to exploit our precious punk heritage in the form of The Yuppie Pricks from Austin, TX! High 80s literature like Bright Lights, Big City and American Psycho gave us a glimpse of the decadent, narcissistic yuppie lifestyle, but Broker's Banquet rubs our lower tax-bracket noses in mountains of cocaine and Wolfgang Puck pizzas.
An EP of remixes, follows up the full-length album "A Name Writ in Water", released in April 2004. Hrishikesh Hirway (aka The One AM Radio) creates intricate, lush compositions that Pitchfork said "simply feel colossal".

ENTREAT. are from Slovenia. That for itself doesn't say much, but if you are familiar with other bands from that country you will agree that they all feature a certain melancholic turbulence in their music. Clean tone guitars have mixed up many music definitions and the way ENTREAT. play their guitars labeled them emo-metal. However, their roots lie somewhere else: in the North, deep in Swedish hardcore and metal. Now, finally out, from the infamous Alpha Omega studio, released by Moonlee Records, comes Deincubation, their second album, named after the very process through which it came into existence. ENTREAT. presents perceptions gathered in the past and marks new directions. They point the way they are going, taking their music with them.

This should be out in Spring 2005. Deadman Walking is the brainchild of longtime friends Riche Kontrol and Paul Geroso. Both musicians had come from the band A-o.k., which had broken up in 1998. Taking what they had learned from their previous experiences, along with Norman they forged a sound of heavy rock and aggressive lyrics that were deeply rooted in rock and roll, punk, and metal music, but at the same time created a new and infectious energy. Deadman Walking unveil their own style of dark rock n roll on their upcoming debut full length for GC. The speed of skate punk melted into the darkness of early 80s rock. Not to mention the lead singer is also the drummer!
