Skarface – Longlife Legendary Bastards
French ska outfit Skarface are back for another round! When singing in English, the accent is still terrible but when in French, I can enjoy their modern take on ska.
The Gutter Twins – Saturnalia
What do you get when you put Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan together in the studio? It has to be something amazing, right?
Anti-Flag - The Bright Lights Of America
You gotta hand it to Anti-Flag... since signing to a major, these political punks haven't changed a bit. It's commendable to say the least.
American Princes - Other People
From Little Rock, Arkansas comes American Princes. Whereas they sounded more like the Pixies on their previous album "Less And Less", this time around it's time for a trip back to the eighties.
Alkaline Trio – Agony & Irony
I remember when I first heard “Good Mourning” and thought it wasn’t as good as “From Here To Infirmary”. Boy, was I wrong!
Means – To Keep Me From Sinking
If it was me I would’ve just called the album “Paddle”, which is what I do to keep me from sinking when in the water.
Foxboro Hot Tubs – Stop Drop And Roll!!!
As everyone probably knows by now, Foxboro Hot Tubs is a Green Day side-project. This means that “Stop Drop And Roll” is NOT a new Green Day album. Hence, the name Foxboro Hot Tubs on the cover.
Walls Of Jericho – Redemption EP
Walls Of Jericho teams up with Slipknot/Stone Sour’s Corey Taylor for this digital EP and pulls a “Hero” out of their pockets.
The Steal
One of the most fun hardcore releases I’ve been listening to lately has to be The Steal’s self-titled album. They call the UK home but are signed to the amazing Get Outta Town Records out of Florida who seem to have a nose for great HC acts.
To Kill – When Blood Turns Into Stone
To Kill has to be my favorite Italian hardcore band. Not in the least because I can’t recall any others. I guess that also makes them the worst Italian hardcore band I know, doesn’t it?
