xBrainiax/The Lettuce Vultures - split 7'' (2011) Michigan/Cleveland

                                             Alright, last post of the night, or morning :)

This is the very last release by the almighty xBrainiax out

of Michigan. Was damn sorry to see this band call it a day,

but nothing lasts forever, especially in the hardcore world :)

They were actually set to release a few more splits, but those

will probably never come to fruition unfortunately.

Anyhow, this is their last 4 songs recorded, and of course

they totally rip !!!!!

The Lettuce Vultures have been around for a while as well.

Although a lesser known band, they have a split with

Agathocles amongst their numerous releases.

xBrainiax also had members in Merciless Game if I

remember correctly. Merciless Game were more on the

Raw/Noise side. They appeared on comps with The

Wankys and such. They had a few releases also.

Ok, time to call it a night ! 

Rage the xBrainiax, and keep a fire burning in their memory !

01 xBrainiax - xBrainiax Hates You

02 xBrainiax - Villains

03 xBrainiax - Recluse Blues

 04 xBrainiax - Keep Praying

 05 The Lettuce Vultures - Cripple Me With Cake

06 The Lettuce Vultures - Walking On Sunshine

 07 The Lettuce Vultures - Your Unbuttoned Shirt

Troglodytes - Avoid/Survive cassette (2015) UK

                         This project comes from ye olde UK.
                         Umberto, who was previously in Cthulhu Youth and Sesso Violento,
                         brings us the raw and disturbingly great sounds of the newest ensemble,
                         Troglodytes.
                         Not sure if this is a 1 man project, which Sesso Violento I beleive is,
                         need to contact Umberto for more info.
                         But Troglodytes definitely reigns out of the same raw and distorted
                         stylings.
                         This tape takes you to depths of pure unadulterated rapture, which
                         is where you want to be ! :)
                         A definite must !!!!!

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 !

                         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 !

                               01 No Way Out
                               02 Change
                               03 Worsen
                               04 Preacher
                               05 Way Of The World

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 !!!!!

01 Intro - Disease

02 Everyday

03 Numb

04 Stare

05 Fight Back
