CD/LP Reviews !!!

Stop Breathing-Santa Cruz-7” (Rotten To The Core)
If you don’t know who these guys are well you really cant go wrong with any of there releases, anyway this 5 song EP explodes with a 23 second blast, “Cant Be Stopped”. It doesn’t let up one bit “Nightstick Nightmare” and “Artificial Memory” continue the assault on Side A. “Until We Die” Kicks off Side B and is just insane!! If that wasn’t enough they end this with a cover of Void-”Who Are You”. Excellent recording, cover art by Brian Walsby, Very Highly Recommended!!!!

Night Birds-Born To Die In Suburbia-CD (Grave Mistake Records)
How did they do it, they surpassed “The Other Side of Darkness” which is one the best debut releases I’ve heard in a long time. Surf edged guitar with a relentless attack, bass and drums provide a solid but manic pace. The vocals are snotty but catchy and you will blasting this non stop. They throw in a couple slower songs “Nazi Gold” and “Less the Merrier” just to switch it up. Fourteen tracks that will get stuck in your head and not one bad song on this! Very Highly Recommended!!!!

Night Birds-Fresh Kills- Vol 1-CD (Grave Mistake Records)
A great starting point for anyone who hasn’t heard the Night Birds. Killer guitar tones reminiscent of Agent Orange and Dead Kennedy’s. Vocal’s have that classic Orange County sound, Featuring members of the Ergs! and Psyched to Die, They mix the style of those bands as well as a heavy dose of 80’s So cal punk . This has the first 3 singles and a demo. Just do yourself a favor and get this, Very Highly Recommended!!!!

Victims Family-Have A Nice Day-7”(Alternative Tentacles)
Simple but technical, Sarcastic, Sums up the Title track on Side A, Side B you get a jazzy/heavy song “Let’s Cancel The Future” If you have never heard these guys this a pretty cool single, They have been around nearly 30 years!! Highly Recommended!!

CD/LP Reviews!!

 

NO///s'e-NO///s'e-LP (Rotten To The Core)
This LP is all over the place in a good way, A hard band to pinpoint, They have elements of Black Flag, Surf, Garage Rock. Good vocals, Very guitar driven, Raw distortion, Bass and Drums keep the Rhythm in the Chaos of it all, If your sick of the same old slick produced punk, This is stripped down to bones!! Play this record loud!! Very highly recommended!!!

Night Birds-The Other Side Of Darkness-CD (Grave Mistake)
Straight out of 19.. Wait This is from 2011, Surf sounding guitar in the vain of Early Dead Kennedy’s, Throw in some early D.I./ Zero Boys Vocals and you have a modern day classic, There influences reach much deeper than the aforementioned bands. Its rare to find a CD where every song rips and will have you singing along, So fucking highly recommended its not even funny!!! Get this now!!!

CD Reviews (old and new)

Music To Bleed To - Vol 1 (Infested Records)
This is solid comp, 2 songs from 13 bands and a wide spectrum of bands. Rather than breakdown every band on this comp, For the most part this could have been released in 1985(that's a good thing), So if your looking for a good punk comp with some bands you may never have heard of do yourself a favor and pick this up NOW!! (its only $5). www.facebook.com/infestedrecords

Stop Breathing - S/T 7" (Rotten To The Core Records)
This EP is fucking killer. A newer Nardcore band with deep roots and throw in a little bit of east coast vibe and you have one powerful Band and EP, If you get the chance go see this band and if you can find this EP (limited pressings) get it. Stop Breathing has current and ex members of The Missing 23rd, Glass & Ashes, The Fucking Wrath, & Young Livers, Just incase you were wondering!! www.facebook.com/stopbreathingfb

This is blasted at you like machine gun fire. If you like your punk fast and abrasive you wont be disappointed. Think Battalion of  Saints, Verbal Abuse, Black Flag, Stalag 13,Die Kreuzen in a blender and you wind up with 11 songs in 17 minutes, Get This Now!! www.nowayrecords.com/site/
