Raw Brigade - 100%

100% Hardcore. 100% Straight Edge. 100% Latino. Colombian hardcore band Raw Brigade are stating exactly who they are with their new album 100% out November 14th on Flatspot Records. Available in both English and Spanish versions, the eleven track album bursts with aggression through furious vocals, fast-paced riffs, and plenty of two-step mosh parts. Influence from NYHC bands like Outburst and Warzone seeps through, while lyrics tackle everything from straight edge pride to addressing those who are treated unjust from corrupt systems.

Gumm - Beneath The Wheel

Chattanooga, TN hardcore upstarts, Gumm, have announced their sophomore full-length, Beneath The Wheel, due out October 31st via punk's most reliably awesome label, Convulse Records. Gumm's adventurous strain of hardcore is fueled by inventive riffs, a truly pummeling rhythm section, and vocalist Drew Waldon's throat-shredding roar, all of which have been dialed even further into the red on Beneath The Wheel.
