Creeping Dose - Filth Is Power 7'' (2015) New York

                  
                         Elements of European hardcore, raw punk, and even, as the band
                         describes it, "dark pogo". You can list as many influences as you
                         want that you hear in this sound, but all-in-all, this is just great hardcore
                         punk from one of NYC's best new bands !
                         Description is from icoulddietomorrow blog.
                         I agree with what they wrote about Creeping Dose, as I don't know too
                         much about these guys personally.
                         I do have their Demos & New York's Alright cassette which are fantastic,
                         but the 7'' is brand new and continues their distorted and crazed
                         journey into beautiful madness !

Pillage - S-T ep (2015) Chicago

                         Members of Punch In The Face, Los Crudos, HERDS,
                         Sick/Tired, Divine Right, and a bunch of other bands, drop a 7"
                         full of mean hardcore/powerviolence that pays homage to all of the
                         greats like Infest, Crossed Out, Siege and Negative Approach.
                         Ok, hahaha, I copied and pasted that description, cause i'm just
                         that damn tired ! :)
                         Ebro from Punch In The Face fronts this epic epic project that
                         deserves high recognition !
                         These guys are the poster boys of what great hardcore is all about !
                         Absolutely killer band !!!!!
                         I recommend their Demo from 2013 as well, a definite masterpiece !
                         Again, big big thanks to Offside Alex for posting this one !

Public Assault - No Way Out 7'' (2015) Indiana

                               Theses dudes are from northwest Indiana, with members of
                               Menanites, and Zap.
                               Recorded by the infamous Mark Winters, who has been in
                               many many bands in the past and present including Guinea Kid
                               The Coneheads, Pukeoid, Ooze and The Outs to name a few.
                               Public Assault just freakin' rule, no doubt about it !
                               With an 80's sound comparable to such scenes as D.C., Boston,
                               and Michigan, these guys could easily have fit into the early
                               days of Hardcore !
                               Big thanks to Offside Alex for posting this 7'' on You Tube !!!!!
                               http://thrashzonedistro.blogspot.com/
                               One of the best bands in my opinion doing 80's style HC !!!!!
                               Still looking for their Demo CD-r from 2011, hopefully i'll
                               come across that one soon !

Bed Bugs - Demo (2014) Mentone, California

Well, it's been a while, but i'm back ! I know i've said it before

and not posted much after, but this time i'm making good on

that statement ! :) Notice that I didn't use the word promise,

haha, so i'm gonna try my hardest to live up to my words !

Another note before I speak of the band i'm posting, it seems

that most all Hardcore blogs these days are slowing down

to snails pace. Kinda strange, but I can't complain, i've been

a snail for a while now as well :) 

Anyhow, on to the music ! 

This band hails from Mentone California, which is sometimes 

referred to as Mentone Beach, but it's in the SoCal desert and

is described as an oceanless beach, so there must be a pun

in there somewhere. I guess you need to be from there to

get the joke :)

But Bed Bugs are definitely no joke, they are the true article !

Hardcore at it's best, with infuences of 80's HC/Raw/& Noise.

I found this one on Cola De Rata blog as 1 track.

Ripping good Demo !!!!!

Postman - S-T (2014) O.C., California

                         Alright, I dowloaded this from bandcamp a few months back, and
                         it frankly freakin' stunted my growth ! :)
                         This one takes me back to the early days of powerviolence, that
                         in your face Infest sound or some may call it west coast powerviolence
                         sound.
                         Whatever you want to call it, i'm calling this my number 1 favorite
                         release of 2014 !!!!!
                         If any of you know me, and alot of you do, you know I hold
                         powerviolence very near and dear to my heart ! :)
                         This one is a masterpiece in my opinion, one of the best pv releases
                         in years !
                         Not that I don't love all you other pv bands that are my Brother's,
                         there are many masterpieces in the last few years from bands all
                         over the planet. But this release is definitely up there in my book !!!!!
                         Postman features Chris Layhee from Tension on guitar/vocals, and
                         Blake Andreas from Chainsaw Squid on drums/back-up vocals.
                         https://tension.bandcamp.com/
                         https://chainsawsquid.bandcamp.com/
                         Took me a bit to edit this one. I just realized they put lyrics up, so
                         I finished it earlier today.
                         I believe this is either already out, or coming out on Opaqus Records.
                         I e-mailed these guys, and Chris gave me the go ahead to post on here.
                         This will rip your face off, so I highly recommend it !!!!!

Blackball - Live @ Prisma Video, Raleigh-NC 3-1-2015 (North Carolina/Virginia)

           Hey there everyone ! It's been a while... :)
           Haven't been feeling 100% this year, and due to that, this is my first post
           of 2015.
           So anyhow, gotta get myself up and running here, need to put some pep
           in my step ! :)
           This a new band that will be on my Thrash Up My Ass! Vol. 2 comp,
           which will hopefully be out by this summer !
           The band is made up of my friend David Gallagher (Vacant Planet, Prosthesis)
           on guitar, Jeff Young (Stripmines, Skemata, Mercy Killings, Prosthesis) on
           guitar, Christophe Bequet (Abuse.) on bass, Anthony Williams (Future Binds,
           Pure Scum, Bandages) on drums, and Ericka Kingston (Burn Ward, Crooked
           Teeth) on vocals.
           Funny enough, I still haven't met Ericka yet, but her other band Crooked Teeth
           was on the first Thrash Up My Ass! comp which came out in 2010.
           https://spasticfantastic.bandcamp.com/album/va-thrash-up-my-ass-tape-2
           Hash from Crooked Teeth/Unholy Thoughts actually was one one I contacted
           to get Crooked Teeth for the first comp.
           But it's a small world that I meet up with another of Ericka's bands for Thash
           Up My Ass! Vol. 2 :)
           Anyhow, enough about that, this is a Live set from less than a week ago to
           get you primed up for their Demo which should be out real soon here !
           David just sent me this link yesterday for all to check out, cool blog with
           more on this awesome new band !
           http://vilediscourse.blogspot.com/2015/03/blackball-live-prisma-video-raleigh-nc.html
           No track list yet, but Demo will be out soon folks, be patient ! :)
           Ok, no more waiting, with no further anticipation needed, I give you the
           fueled up & explosive new band, Blackball !!!!!
