play oliver - gone are the days


please support this man.

"so, play oliver started as a solo project in a small town called cannington, ontario. that was almost three years ago, and about two hours north of toronto. since then, the band had various members, toured twice, played lots of shows, had two official releases and countless demos and single songs on the internet.

now, it is back to the original solo project it started out as. i'm 21 now and i live in london, ontario. there is a new record in the works. details will be released as they are apparent."

much love! ~<3~

cry of the afflicted - the unveiling


formed in the winter of 2003, cry of the afflicted began unassumingly as a group of friends growing up together in their hometown, about three hours northeast of vancouver, b.c. influenced by bands like soilwork and in flames, cry of the afflicted held their own. that balance couldn’t be more evident than on the band’s new album, the unveiling.

every time i die - gutter phenomenon


when any music scene or culture flourishes and prospers, it can become watered down and generic, populated with more than a few been-there, done-that sounding bands, many of which are passionless and whose sole purpose is cashing in. every time i die understands this reality, and aims to shatter it. they're making rock music new, exciting and dangerous again. armed with two formidable assault weapons: their breath-stealing album, gutter phenomenon, and their devastating, enthralling live shows, this upstate new york wrecking crew is poised to redefine underground music as we know it.

evergreen terrace - sincerity is an easy disguise in this business


their musical sound is a mix of heavy guitars that remind one of punk-based metal filled with shouting, and a cleaner side that includes some good clean vocals by the guitarist. overall this is a great cd because of its contrast, great songwriting, strong lyrics, solid vocals, and creativity. i'd recommend this to nearly anyone who likes punk, metal, metalcore, hardcore, post-hardcore, et al.

stick to your guns - for what it's worth


this record perfectly combines old school style hardcore with the newer more metal core sound vocals that are similar to bands like bleeding through. stick to your guns could very easily be the next big thing in hardcore.

the blood brothers - burn, piano island, burn


do you remember rock? the blood brothers do. a delivery of spastic but catchy indie/noise rock'n'roll driven by manic dual vocals and dissonant yet melodic riffs, charged with the fury, energy and revolutionary spirit of fellow status quo disturbers refused and at the drive-in, but possessed of a delivery that is all the blood brothers. do you remember rock? you will remember the blood brothers.

high on fire - blessed black wings


outrageously loud and absolutely punishing. blessed black wings unleashes a devastating combination of bombastic guitar and howling war cries, weaving fantastical tales of supernatural beasts, forgotten battles and rivers of blood over an unstoppable bass and drum assault. high on fire are a class unto themselves, manhandling rock music while locking into grooves that transcend time.

fucked up - year of the pig


reigning kings (and queen) of punk and hardcore fucked up return with a mammoth 12-inch single, second in a series of records based on the chinese zodiac. year of the pig is an 18-minute, 34-second-long prog-punk masterpiece featuring lush piano and organ arrangements by max danger of the deadly snakes and guest vocals by toronto's jennifer castle. the track starts with gentle guitar and soothing organ before heading into darker territory, with gruff male vocals offset by castle's angelic singing and a meandering bass line. it's not until a full seven-and-a-half minutes in that the track explodes into a keith moon-esque drum workout, which is followed by a one note neu trick that builds up to a thrash attack.

erie, pa has been known as a breeding ground for high quality hardcore and metal and war of ages are the prime examples of the new breed. on their debut self-titled album, war of ages craftily combine the shredding guitar solos of traditional metal with the all out brutality of todays heaviest hardcore bands. wWhile there is currently a sea of metalcore bands out there today, very few pull it off as uniquely as War Of Ages. with the combination of great songs and non stop touring, you are sure to be hearing a lot about this band.

from a bulletin:
"As many of you know from the past bulletins we sent out, our van has been totaled. We took it into the Ford dealership to get it looked at and realized that the van would cost to much to fix. It was beyond repair.

That brings us to now. We have been in Denver, CO for the past 5 days, but now have a van. The thing is, is that it has to come from Illinois first. We have always counted on you guys to helping us get around the country. Whether you buy merch, put us up for the night, get us a show with a guarantee, or buy us a meal, YOU SUPPORT WAR OF AGES. We can't thank you enough for the prayers and replies we have received over the past few days.

We are setting up a paypal account and a P.O. box where you can donate money if you feel lead to do so. We don't have enough money to fully pay off the van, but with your help, WE WILL!! Please trust us and know that your donation will not be spent on cheeseburgers and tacos. All donations will go towards paying our van off. We can only do this with your help. Anything will be much appreciated!!"
