Boise, ID's Ingrown loves speed, and they love MEAN. Somewhere in between the blasts and the menacing Agnostic Front-influenced hardcore, it becomes apparent that the band's urgent, clenched-teeth delivery has plenty of staying power. Maybe it's the desolation or being the butt of endless potato jokes, but any way you slice it, the six tracks across their latest EP, "Meathead," exhibit a menace that is rare in hardcore, a volatility that reminds us of the first time we heard Negative Approach or Poison Idea - these guys are fucking pissed.

Listening to Glue has always felt like you're standing next to a ticking time bomb, but something about this latest recording with its noisy, everything-in-the-red mix makes the band sound even more explosive, and I pity the soul who tries to sit still while this thing is on the turntable. However, once you get past the immediate, visceral thrill that this record inspires, you'll be able to appreciate how Glue is expanding upon the primal beats and weirdly circular, almost psychedelic take on hardcore riffing that has made them stick out from the pack since the beginning.

In the tradition of Neil Young's "please kick me off the label"-era, or when Lou Reed tried to drive his audience away, Self Defense Family delivers brilliantly difficult listens on the 12"ep "Wounded Masculinity." Family member Mary Brulatour takes the songwriting reigns on four tracks that range from sullen folk to anxious kraut. The result is material unique even in Self Defense Family's varied (and sprawling) catalog.
"Nothing Lasts Forever This Way" represents the final recorded epitaph of Lifeless circa 2016. What was initially tracked to be a split release with label mates Lionheart has now become a savagely cryptic and darkly poetic farewell. Packaged as a deluxe, eight-panel booklet, the story and message of Lifeless expands visually as Jeremy Tingles' words of shadows bleed into his personal hand-picked photography that is featured throughout the cover and booklet. Ultimately, what fans will come away with is a glimpse of the grey world actually seen through the eyes of the bands lead vocalist. Designed in subversive detail and accented with a tale of ghosts, the lights dim and the final curtain lowers on a band and story that saw its beginning and end in the state of New Jersey. 7" includes digital download and is limited to 400 copies.
