Distorted guitars and bass, fast pounding drums, shouted insane vocals full of echo and reverb, twisted guitar solos that pop up in the sonic hell, filthy sound quality. This is Absolut, they come from Toronto, Canada and this is their demo released in January 31 of 2013. The demo comes in cassette, it consists of six songs and nearly thirteen minutes of noisy, chaotic and raw d-punk in the vein of Disclose, Disorder, Leprosy, D-Clone and the likes.
Adrenaline arrives with six new anthems on their debut, bursting with intense grooves and explosive energy, and heavily influenced by the likes of iconic hardcore veterans Vision Of Disorder, Bad Brains, Crown Of Thornz, and Burn. The band's style surges with the vibrant but streetwise sound of their hometown scene, citing Trapped Under Ice, Turnstile, and Queensway, the latter of which shares three of Adrenaline's four members - vocalist Jack Compton, guitarist Alex Fuller, and drummer Phil Hanle - the lineup completed with guitarist Joseph Scott. Adrenaline was recorded and mixed by Len Carmichael at Landmine Studios, produced and mastered by the band. Cassette includes digital download.
This cassette release captures 12 tracks from Angel Dust live at This Is Hardcore Fest 2014, a perfect representation of the band that features members of Mindset, Turnstile and Trapped Under Ice playing their offbeat brand of rock, pop and indie-influenced hardcore.
On this demo tape, members of Hounds Of Hate and Blood Red deliver four tracks of fast, powerful, almost crossover-inspired hardcore with a political slant.

of them fabled Filth Hounds of Hades; along with a ZZ Top cover to close
it all out and send ya the fuck off. Each tape comes enclosed within a

After recording a demo heavily influenced by late 80's NYHC (think Breakdown or Agnostic Front) and early 2000's hardcore (Mental or Justice).

Bricklayer is an ugly, meaty and straight to the point hardcore band from the Olympia/Seattle area. With dirty guitars, muddy bass, frantic drums and throaty vocal grunts, these guys spit out a total ripper of a full length that followed their 7'' single and demo tape. These thumping tracks of barbaric American hardcore stay in your head and never leave. Snag and Dig.

Collusion are sick new DCHC band that, while being part of a specific
scene, maintain their own grounding and stand off to the side in their
own way. This music on this demo reminds me alot of No Justice's "Still
Fighting" with a frustrated gruffer singing. This is some hardcore that
definitely still falls on the "punk" end of the spectrum. The lyrics are
chuck-full of hate, frustration and angst. Great shit. Members of Coke
Bust, Public Suicide, Misled Youth, Pure Disgust, etc etc.
Two brand new tracks from Maine's latest contribution to the current hardcore scene. Full of speed and fury, you won't find any frills here - just badass, trimmed-down, straight-to-the-point hardcore in the style of late-'80s NYHC with a sprinkling of early-'80s Boston. These songs will be featured on their upcoming 7" on Atomic Action Records. Also included is a sick cover and re-recorded demo song.
Cracked are a new band from California with a five-track demo tape somewhere between '80s youth crew, Outbreak, and Let Down. They are a staple at local Fullerton, CA, hardcore hotspot Programme Skate, playing with some of the more prominent hardcore and punk bands that roll through.
