I asked the guys for a description and this is what they said: 'SO HEAVY IT COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND BREAK DOWN THE WALL, MOTHERFUCKER.' Not too far off of the mark, actually. CUT SHORT is a very aggressive hardcore band out of the state of Delaware and they're heavy as fuck to put it plain and simple. Buy this now, so you can say you did before they blew up.

This limited EP features two songs from the upcoming full-length 'Better Ways To Die' as well as an EP exclusive track. 'Better Ways To Die' showcases Death Before Dishonor reaching outside of the safe hardcore formulas both in songs and content while still retaining their roots in the South Boston upbringing. Better Ways To Die lies somewhere between the harder punk edge of Rancid, the working class anthems of fellow Bostonians Dropkick Murphys, the hardcore attack of Hatebreed and the precision and riffage of Slayer – this is the sound of a true Boston Hardcore band.

One of the most anticipated and talked about reunions of 2008 was without a doubt the reformation of Earth Crisis. The pioneers of the vegan hardcore straight edge movement have now officially made the decision to carry on with the band fulltime and are proud to announce a new worldwide deal with Century Media Records. In 2009, Earth Crisis prepares to unleash a firestorm of epic proportions proving that their message is more viable than ever. Now available on vinyl with one additional track. 'Vegan for life. Vegan to the death.'

These two tracks from Earth Crisis are long lost demo songs taken from a recording session around 1992/93. While the sound quality isn't the best, the energy and spirit that made these vegan straight edge warriors bleeds through every lyric and guitar riff. On colored vinyl.

End Of A Year started as a way to kill time for Albany, NY musicians already involved in full- time bands. Their latest release (and first on Deathwish) is a fantastic EP recorded by End Of A Year guitarist Andrew Duggan. Collectively all three songs carry an organic ebb and flow that brings to mind the ghost of Rites Of Spring as well as other influential Revolution Summer-era, Washington, DC bands. Includes free digital download card. On colored vinyl.

Not exactly new, but new to the mailorder is this great split LP from these german hardcore/ punk outfits. Even Worse thrash out 8 fast hardcore smashers and could be compared to bands like Limp Wrist and/or DS-13. The F.A. play furious female fronted hardcorepunk that brings bands like Health Hazard to mind. I have a few copies on white vinyl (100 made).

'Unlock Yourself' has all the elements that one would love about medlodic hardcore. Heartfelt lyrics with incredible energy, backed with melodies and traditional hardcore beats. This record is far beyond what The Golden Age have accomplished in the past. Awesome lyrics that touch on subjects like straight edge and veganism and passionate delivery. This record will have you singing along in no time. Get into it! 'I am STRAIGHT EDGE, and I will always be!'

Southern California's cinema-grind wizards are back with the final chapter in the 'Destination Time' trilogy and their most ridiculous packaging yet, which almost overshadows the 13 tracks of harsh, metallic thrashing grind filled with movie references. This record comes packaged in a gatefold cover with a die-cut cover overlayed with a clear image of the crosshairs of a gunsight, letting you choose the target from a poster filled with such random faces as Ronald Reagan to Franz Ferdinand to Tupac and more.

Vancouver, Canada touring machines Horizons blend melody and pop sensibility with aggression, speed and the occasional breakdown on 'Hostile Territory' for an end result that is five tracks of melodic hardcore in the vein of Comeback Kid, Set Your Goals and Killing The Dream. On colored vinyl.

GOVERNMENT WARNING from Richmond came from out of nowhere with their 'No way out' EP in 2005. Following their 'No moderation' full-length and their 'Arrested' EP comes their 2nd full-length 'Paranoid Mess'. You'll get 14 unrelenting tracks full of snotty attitude that musically lies somewhere between ZERO BOYS, VERBAL ABUSE, F.U.’s or ADOLESCENTS including some mid paced tracks that follow the sound they mastered on their last EP. Great sounding record that brings to mind the golden era of american hardcore - absolutely timeless.

Their LP just came out, but these guys can't seem to stop writing some of the most catchy punk rock tunes ever. The new EP will be available june 20, but I just couldn't resist adding it already. This is limited to 600 copies with silkscreened covers and it'll rock. Can't wait!

This record is a throwback to what D&G built is foundations on. Honest, straight up, youthful and angry hardcore with no frills and nothing to hide. Hardcore has been looking good on the island over the past few months and part of that has been down to this South Wales band who have worked hard since the release of their demo tape. This EP moves on from the demo and these 5 songs are HARD and will get you moshing, guaranteed. Hardcore in the vein of Right Brigade, Chorus & Striking Distance. If you like your hardcore genuine and powerful, get this now. Colored vinyl in stock.

LIBERTY STANDS STILL is the name of a young band, coming from no-man’s-land – Zittau, Saxony. The songs on this EP perfectly connect aggression, rage and toughness with melancholy and melody – modern hardcore that undoubtedly can keep up with any other band in international comparison. Without copycatting, LIBERTY STANDS STILL shows enough originality to impress in every aspect. In their lyrics they deal with the boring and sometimes frustrating provincial way of living.

Rochester, NY's Like Wolves feature members of some of the city's premier bands of the last few years and bring a little bit of hardcore and a little bit of rock 'n' roll, for a final product comparable to HopeCon, Bars, American Nightmare and Pressure.

Last Lights frontman Dominic Mallary tragically and abruptly passed away on December 5th, 2008 due to complications with his performance the previous day in Boston, MA. TF! and the surviving members of Last Lights teamed up to release a discography of the band's music and art. 'No Past No Present No Future' includes all of Last Lights previous releases and includes an instrumental track exclusive to this release. Now available on colored vinyl with a beautiful gatefold cover. No matter how extensive the packaging is, the real winner is the music. If there's justice in this world, this'll become a classic. I have copies on white splatter vinyl, limited to 150 copies. Once they're gone, they're gone for good.

After an absolutely ripping but unfortunately fairly sheltered demo, Concord CA's Migraine present their debut EP, tearing through 6 songs of death worship and paranoia. This is some real 'end-of-your-life' hardcore. Savage bass lines. Mind bending guitar riffs. Speedy, violent drumming. And some pretty brutal vocals. Think Youth Korps. Think Neanderthal. Think early United Mutation. Just don't think too hard.

'The Uprising' is the debut effort from punk rock super-group Nations Afire. The Los Angeles, CA based five-piece consists of current and former members of hardcore/ punk veterans Rise Against (Chris Chasse, guitar), Ignite (Brett Rasmussen, bass/vocals, Nik Hill, guitar/vocals) and Death By Stereo (Todd Hennig, drums) with Steve Ludwig solidifying the lineup and making his vocal debut. Expect to hear a combination from all of the members' past and present endeavors, as well as a modern twist, which comfortably distinguishes Nations Afire from their counterparts. On colored vinyl.

Oakland, CA's NEVER HEALED return with their long-awaited follow up to their LP and split EP with Violent Minds. About a year and a half in the making, this new record features two more HP Lovecraft-influenced, mid-tempo blasts bunctuated by vocalist Casey Watson's unmistakable snarling vocals. Originally slated for release on Parts Unknown, PKR took over the reigns after Fat Rich spent all of PUR's money furnishing his luxury penthouse with original seats from Veterans Stadium.

Anchored by a minimalist punk framework and elaborated by squalls of angular guitar noise, 'New Distances' is simultaneously beguiling and dissonant. Helmed by Verellen's signature roar, the resulting compositions owe as much to the early hardcore pioneers as to New York and London's post-punk founders. Terminally bleak, counter-intuitive to the standard rock paradigm, and at odds with everyone, Narrows' debut is an angry slab of nihilistic abandon. On colored vinyl.

NPK from Cologne is a 3-piece band from Cologne. They play a unique kind of screamo- punk with 2 guys on vocals. German lyrics that remind me a lot on a couple german bands from the 90ies like Kassiopeia (but not as sad and emo - this one here is much more punk!) All records come w/ beautiful screenprinted covers, black vinyl and a CD-R w/ the MP3s of the record. LTD to 222 copies

With no signs of slowing down and in preparation for a new full-length coming later in 2009, Outbreak and Think Fast! Records have teamed up to release 'Work To Death.' The effort is a mere taste of what's to come in 2009. Count on the fast and frenzied punk/hardcore you've come to expect from Outbreak, with equal flavor from the more recent releases, all the way back to the beginning, and of course with a fresh appeal that comes with each Outbreak release. Includes coupon for free digital download. On colored vinyl.

This record is nothing short of raw and pissed 90s style hardcore. Combining elements of 90s hardcore and mixing it up with todays modern hardcore sound... these guys have moved beyond what you would expect from their full length. To try and describe what this record is...it's almost impossible, the closest that we could do would to say that it's the grown up child of 108 and early Converge, even then...I don't think that does it justice. Outrage entered the Getaway Group with Jay Maas in March to record 'Broken' and called in the help of some friends to do guest vocals. Pat Flynn (Have Heart), Rory (Soul Control), Chris Martin (Hostage Calm) and even Jay Maas (Defeater), himself to contribute to a record that will be talked about for a long time.

The first in their EP series, Amnesia, was recorded at God City Studios with egineer Kurt Ballou.
