HUGE BUMMER: 2013

The Floor Above - Bishop LP

First of all...let me say WHAT THE HELL?!? This has to be far-and-away the most unexpectedly brilliant hardcore punk LP I've heard in 2013. On top of that, THE FLOOR ABOVE is a one-man band from Nashville, TN that had some under-the-radar tapes but with "Bishop" the bar has truly been raised. This 20 (!) song LP is a hurling mess of unhinged hardcore punk. Trebly as all hell, lurching from raging fast to uneasy and discordant in mere minutes. I'd easily put this LP up there with some of the best "outsider" HC of the past few years like NASA SPACE UNIVERSE, LUMPY AND THE DUMPERS, ECOLI, etc. I'm definitely picking up something new every time I spin this thing - highly recommended. Go and buy it>Savage Quality.'Bleak and blown out loner hardcore'.

Fugitive - Reality Master Demo

"Legendary Western Mass maniac Tony P. (SQRM) helms this terrorizing hardcore hatchet job with a storm of rippers about ruining your scene, how you need a job, and that government chip in your head. Adding extra fuel to the flames is Ian Logan (HOAX), proving he is no one-trick pony when it comes to crafting superb, violent riffs. Essential!"

Nancy - Demo 2013

New York's NANCY. These muddafuckers play an out of date style of punk. This tape is, should we say...perfect? If catchy isn't the word, I don't know what is because these lyrics and tunes will be on repeat in your head all day. Lets simply say there is some influence from THE JABBERS here. If I didn't know they were from here and now, I'd believe this was a re-issue of some old '77 group. It can't be stressed enough, B U Y T H I S.
