I | J | K: [last update: 15.09.2008] [I]: I OBJECT - "Teaching Revenge" Fast, pissed-off, female-fronted hardcore from upstate New York! CD Blacknoise 2006 9,- € The ICE - "MMVII" 4 of the 5 tracks from The Ice's 2007 demo tape repressed on coloured vinyl, wrapped in gorgeous cover by Mr. Florian Bertmer. Heavy hardcore with burly riffs and vocals to match... rest assured, that the reference to both the Icemen and True Blue is by no means conincidental.

Click for mp3s. CD Blacktop 2007 10,- € INSOMNIO - "No Escape" Debut release of this young band from Zaragoza, contains 10 tracks of classical US-styled punk rock (9 originals and a Stooges cover) in the vein of the Adolescents, Circle Jerks and the likes with a bit of Dead Boys blended in for good measure. A 7" on No Way Rec. has just been released as well. Click for mp3s. LP Audiogorilla et al. 2008 8,50 € INSTINCT OF SURVIVAL - "Winter In My Mind E.P." The latest release from this Hamburg crust institution. Another thick stenchcore assault with great production, heavily influenced by the likes of Axegrinder and the early Earache sound.

LP version of their CD on Listenable, featuring one additional track. LP Power It Up 2005 9,- € JUST WENT BLACK - "Embracing Emptiness" . Click for mp3s. 10" Assault 2007 8,- € JUST WENT BLACK - "Embracing Emptiness" . Click for mp3s. mCD Blacktop 2007 8,- € JUSTICE - "Live and Learn" Justice has always been expanding their minds, bodies and souls and their final release is no exception. 5 new tracks of rocking (post-)hardcore in the vein of Quicksand and in the vein of Quicksand and their contemporaries. Click for mp3s. 12" Powered 2008 9,- € [K]: KILLED IN ACTION - "Self Abuse EP" 4 new songs of fast hc/thrash with lyrics about drugs, bombing malls and hating everyone from Columbus, Ohio's Killed In Action. Follow up to their full length on Six Weeks Records. 7" Give Praise 2006 4,- € KING OF CLUBZ - "The Day You Die" 5 cuts of tough hardcore with plenty of mosh and beatdown parts with a fair share of NY styled old school thrown in for good measure. mCD FilledWithHate 2003 8,- € KISSIN' COUSINS / CHINGALEROS - Split Barcelona's own Kissin' Cousins feature (or featured, as they meanwhile broke, from what I understand...) former members of E-150, but don't expect any fastcore here - instead, they deliver four fast guitar driven garage punk rock tunes - think early New Bomb Turks with a hint of early 80s USHC. Chingaleros share members with the almighty Muletrain and offer three tracks of asskickin' punk rock 'n' roll, kinda like Poison Idea meets Rocket From The Crypt. 7" Sell Our Souls 2006 3,50 € KOBAYASHI - "Dasselbe in grün" Fast and furious hardcore/grind madness from Vienna, Austria, ca. 1999. Then usually labelled as "emo violence" (In/Humanity, anyone?), but somehow this sounds too weak compared to actual product... thic picture 7" contains 7 tracks, 5 of which were originally released on the "In Wirklichkeit sind wir doch alle Old School" demo with the 2 other being unreleased until now. Impressive packaging, without which this record would have been out 3 years earlier - I kid you not. Click for mp3s. 7" Boris Karloff Noise 2007 4,50 € KOLOKOL - "Grundrisse" Traditional Norwegian hardcore in the vein of Kort Process, Kafka Process, So Much Hate etc. Fast and furios, but still melodic - not bordering on metal or thrash/crust, just plain hardcore/punk. The cover of this record is a 16-paged booklet with - obviously - the lyrics but also lots of pictures and thoughtworthy quotes from various free thinking indiviuals. 7" Nakkeskudd Plater 2005 3,- € KYKLOOPPIEN SUKUPUUTTO - s/t Raw, thrashy and fucking angry hardcore from Finland. Usually rather fast but with a few slower tracks thrown in for good measure, this is pretty much comes across as an updated version of classic early 80s Finncore... and that's a good thing, if you ask me!
