1070 SCUM – Chaos Noise EP

1070 Scum is a D-Beat Punk band from Georgia and Chaos Noise is their debut release. It obviously deserves to be on vinyl.

Trap Them – Darker Handcraft

Defeatist – Sixth Extinction (2010 – Grindcore)

Defeatist brings more creative grindcore than what can be expected of a new band on the scene. This is not strange of course, because Defeatist is ex-Kalibas and ex-Andonyne members, reformed to be a rough grind act with true musicianship behind it.  With the Sixth Extinction Defeatist offers us a full length with 19 songs that are … Continue reading →

And the Bloody Phoenix rises again! They just finished their 2010 European Death March tour after releasing their second full length named Death To Everyone. I didn’t know about these guys but it’s good I do now. Based in Los Angeles California,  they play utterly delightful and very basic grindcore. Death To Everyone is easy … Continue reading →
