Placodermi or Death

Martha rules!! New album is now up for pre order from dirtnap. Don't sleep on it!

Battle Ruins are probably the best Oi! band currently from going from the US. Check out this demo.

Planet Y's full length does not disappoint! Killer punk rock currently available from Beach Impediment.

Can't wait for another full length from The Number Ones! The new single rips!'

The new Lp by Lurking Fear slays. X-members of all of your favorite Swedish bands.

Super under rated band Arrotzak. Their new Lp is maybe my favorite of the year. Driving bass and a unique take on 'dark punk'.

New album by Martyrdod. They just keep getting better. Solid Lp all the way through.

Not new material in this video BUT Midnight are going on tour with Obituary and Devil Master!

This isn't new but these guys deserve more attention. Their one full length is solid.

Rebuke the puke

First up is a killer track from the Italian band Horror Vacui. Ex members of Giuda (crust one). New Lp out in a couple weeks

Maniac are a newer band that has a great Lp out on Dirt Cult. Ex members of Red dons and others...Just got the Lp and it rips! Check em out..

Andy the Band is a one man project of Andy, who you may recognize from his other projects like Terrible Feelings. Great melody, with great hooks.

No Problem have been cranking out killer punk tunes for some time now and this new song doesn't deviate...

Fredag Den 13:E are a fantastic crust band from Sweden. They have been around for a while now and have a few Lp's under their belt. This is a live video of them playing the Obscene Extreme Fest in 2015.

Live and Lost

Well here we go again! This time I again have a wide variety of videos. Enjoy!

First is the killer band PUNCH.


Next up is a now defunct band called Bog People. This is a decent quality video of them playing at what was one of the best places to play in SF, Li po Lounge.


Next is a video for a band that I know little about. They are called Kitten Forever. Check it:


Nerot are fucking killer and are on the road, yet again! Their last Lp rips and they are no slouch live. Check em out!


Coming up next is a crust band from Mexico called Arsonist.


Awesome band ANSIEDAD from Spain.


Lastly I've got a killer video of Lautsturmer from Sweden. It's pretty much Driller Killer minus the vocalist, but way more intense. I just got their second Lp and a split Lp and both are fantastic. Frantic bass lines and killer riffs make them better then Driller Killer (yep I said it!)

Felsic Personality

So I am back at updating this site! Well, at least for right now. Too many good videos and too little time. So here goes:

First up is Martyrdod. The video is a little old but still fantastic. The entire album is a fantastic piece of work. As they have progressed, so has their sound. It has been refined a bit with some fantastic guitar work.



Next is a killer track from Drakulas.

No one knows how to party like Municipal Waste! These guys are still going strong after many years and they have only gotten better.

Sonic Avenues have a new Lp and it is full of hooks that will not leave your head! Really great stuff. Check the video out.

This video isn't that new but god damn this band rules! Fucking noise madness!! The entire Lp is full of noise brutality with just the right amount of hooks!

At this point I have a hard time believing that anyone has missed out on Power Trip. But in the odd chance that you have, enjoy.

Big Eyes put out an album last year and made a bunch of great videos for it. Here is one of them.

Suicidal Equations

Hello Again! I have not updated this in a long time! Mostly because this program sucks and doesn't allow me to properly link the videos. So I will have to do it in a new and different way. Embedded video will no longer work. So here goes.....


No Problem made a quick video for a killer track! The last album they put out was great, but this new material sounds even better!



Ghoul have a new album thats been out for a few months. It is probably their best to date!! Great riffs and hilarious lyrics! Fantastic album. Check it out!




Municipal Waste have been around forever and have many releases under their belt. I'm not even sure if this is from their newest, but its an awesome video!



I think it was around a year ago that Terrible Feelings released this album. This Lp has a slightly more refined sound then the previous, but still has great memorable, dark, and melodic tunes.



Steve Adamyk Band just put out this new Lp. Still incredibly melodic stuff that is guaranteed to get stuck in your head. I just got the limited clear vinyl from Green Noise. Move on it now if you want one!



Belgrade put out this new album now a few months back. I still have not tracked down the vinyl but I have been listening to it on my iPod all the time. They are coming back to the states soon and heading to Japan. Check them out if you get a chance.



Deathraid just dropped a new Lp. I have ordered it but I have yet to hear it, but I'm sure it will be a ripper like all of their other releases. Ex members of a bazillion other killer bands.


Mean Jeans has a new video for a killer song! One of the few bands Fat Wrekords didn't ruin! Ok maybe thats a bit harsh, but.... Mean Jeans are still just as catchy as ever and make the best videos!


Ok lastly I am sharing this great live video of The Hex Dispensers! I am so out of it I missed this third album from them! Needless to say I have been listening to it everyday over the last month. Great, dark and catchy stuff! Someone find this Lp for me!

Burn Out Disorder

First up is an awesome newer band from Japan called Paranoid. They play noisy hardcore punk. 

Next is a killer video of the Canadian band Career Suicide! This video is them playing at the Toronto fest, Not Dead Yet. These guys started playing a little recently after a few year hiatus. Hopefully they make it back to the west coast soon! 

Dedicated to Failure

First up is a band from Olympia called Gag. They have a few 7"s out that are great, so check them out!

Warcollapse put out numerous records in the 90's and play brutal crust core. They have gotten back together and played numerous festivals. This is them playing at a Profane Existence show in Minneapolis. 

Dead Boys are about as classic as you can get. This is a killer live video of them playing at CBGB's in 1977.

Savageheads are a new band out of Boston and play great, straight ahead punk with a heavy dose of 80's punk influence. 

Warcry have been around for some time now and seem to play sporadicly, due to the members involvement in other bands. This is a fantastic live video of them playing in Sweden. 

This is an older video of Extinction of Mankind recording their split with Misery in Minneapolis. I was lucky enough to see them with Misery when they toured and it was an epic show. I'm not sure that they are too active anymore, check it out!

Next I have a great multi-cam video of the Chicago band, The Repos. 

Average Times play a garage style of punk that is very catchy. This is video is called Popsicle. 

Agent Attitude are fucking awesome and you should check them out! Super tight live set of raging hardcore!

Great video of the insanely killer hardcore band from Canada, Haymaker. They stopped playing for a bit and may have started again, I'm not totally sure. If you have not checked them out before you should get any of their 7"s if you can find them. The 'hate the kids' one might be my favorite but really everything they put out is awesome. 

Lastly I have a video of the amazing Texas band, Deskonocidos. This is a live video of them playing at Sub Mission in SF. These guys have a few records out and a demo, all of them are awesome. Great melodic, punk. 

Burden of Rebuttal

Demon System 13 were around in the early 2000's and put out two stellar Lp's and numerous 7"s. I got to see them on their second US tour sometime in the early 2000's and they were fantastic. They have been broken up for a number of years and reunited to play the last show of a infamous practice space in Umea, Sweden, where they are from. Check it out. "Users are losers!"

Deadly Reign are from So Cal and play brutal crust. The band features members of many other notable bands like Glycine Max, Scarred for Life and more. 

Next is a killer new band out of SF (or it least mostly..) called Fatigue. They recently played at the Hemlock in San Fransisco with another amazing band, Radioactivity. I was lucky enough to make it out on a Wednesday (don't talk shit, I'm getting old) and was immensely happy that I did. Both bands made every second of my sleep deprived next day worth it. Fatigue has a 7" out that you should absolutely seek out. 

 Kuudes Silma are an awesome post punk band from Helsinki. They have a killer Lp out and a few 7"s, all of which are perfectly moody, in the post punk kind of way that I love. Check 'em out!

Nervosas are an awesome punk band from Columbus Ohio. They have two Lp's out and the newest came out earlier this year. Both have been in almost constant rotation on my record player recently. They are one of those bands that as I continued to listen, I became more and more obsessed. Really, REALLY great dark punk. This video is the best quality video I could find and its of them playing in Germany. 

Wartorn are from Wisconsin and play brutal blackened crust. The band features members of other Wisconsin bands like Remission and Dresden. I think as time has gone on they have just honed in on their style and have just gotten better. 

Lastly I have another great video of the Spanish band Belgrado playing in Sao Paulo in 2014. This video is really fantastic quality, my only complaint is that the vocals could be a bit higher. Otherwise it really features them very nicely. 

Fallacious behavior

First up is an awesome new band from Colombia called Dead Hero. They play straight forward Oi! with that classic sound. 

Next is a video featuring four different bands. First is Darge from South Korea, then Disgust from Japan, then Death from Above from Brazil and finally Unfit Scum who are also from Brazil. All four bands put out a compilation Cd together and all of them play different variations of crust. Check it out.

After that brutal video I have something a little more melodic. It's Montreal's Sonic Avenues. This is a video shot of them playing on KEXP out of Seattle. For those that like some pop punk in their life, I highly recommend Sonic Avenues. 

Deaf Kids play crazy and noisy brutal hardcore. At times it reminds me of Destino Final but only a little. They are from Brazil and this video is them playing live at Obscene Extreme. 

Ok now to finish this post off with a classic. It's the Newtown Neurotics doing when the oil runs out. 

Neglected morality

New video for the new Mischief Brew album. Great song and a great video. They also have another video for the album that I featured on this blog a little while back.

Next is a live video of an awesome new Portland band called The Stops. They play a straight forward style of punk. It kind of reminds me of bands like The Gits. Check it out!

Now time for some 90's classics. This is a surprisingly good quality video of Aus Rotten playing at CBGBs. The video is from 1997 which a year or so before I got to see them play on the Primate Freedom tour. The system works for them was the best full length put out by them in my opinion, so here is them playing the title track, with sound clips and all!

Flesh World have been around for a couple years now and are out of San Fransisco. They have a dark punk, retro sound, but they do stand out from the rest of the bands playing this style of punk. I have their first Lp and a 7", both of which are fantastic.

Bombenalarm were an amazing band from Germany. They put two Lp's out and both are absolutely fantastic. Not very many videos of them can be found and this was the best I could come up with but it doesn't do them the justice they deserve. I know it least one member was also in another amazing band called Burial. So check them both out!

Lastly is another 90's video of the long running anarcho UK punks DIRT. This video was shot on their USA tour in Long Beach in 1994. 

Denial of complacency

HARD LEFT put out their first Lp earlier this year and now have a music video to represent it. The album is amazing from start to finish. Unpolished Oi, produced to perfection! 

I a pretty sure that World Burns to Death doesn't play anymore but, after seeing this video I was reminded of how intense their live shows were. This is a decent single cam video of them playing at what I think was the last Pointless fest in Philly.

No Problem have been around for a while now and have really perfected their sound. This video is old but, it was the best quality video I could find. Make sure you check out their most recent Lp.

Terrible feelings released a new album a couple months back and it has their trademark gloomy, melodic punk sound. It's absolutely wonderful. Check it out!

Lastly I have a decent quality video of the fucking killer band Ruleta Rusa. They just returned from Europe and from what I have heard it was a blast. This video was shot of them playing the outdoor fest caos a gracia which is held in the streets of Barcelona. 

Suffer through the insanity

This time I am starting off with a new video from the latest Radioactivity album, Silent Kill. The entire album is fucking amazing. Do yourself a favor and check it out. It really doesn't have one bad song on it and I heard they are touring again in the Fall. Go see them!

Next up is a live video from the Toronto punks and rockers group and it features the awesome band Hassler. This band is everything hardcore punk is meant to be! I have only heard the Lp they have and it rips from beginning to end. 

TV Freaks play an infectious style of punk. It feels like the music is just barely held together and I love it! To play a more straight forward style of punk I think its necessary to have this quality and keep it loose. 

Lastly I have a video of the band Line Traps. The video is mostly stock footage of people getting crazy and it fits really good with the music. Great stuff!

Energy for none

First up is a video of a cool band called Nuclear Spring. Its a decent quality live video of them playing in Sweden. 

Next is a cool video by the now defunct Copenaghen band Snipers. They feature members that were also in No hope for the kids. Pretty awesome stuff from the early 2000's.

Dig og Mig is another band from Denmark featuring a member of no hope for the kids. This band is very catchy and you will get their songs stuck in your head. 

Next is an awesome new Spanish band called Suicidas. This video is live in NYC from earlier this year. 

Oroku were an awesome crust band from Seattle. They didn't put out many records, but what they did is fucking awesome. I saw them play in Austin and was immediately hooked. Check them out, brutal stuff.

This video is from a new band out of Sweden called Price of Silence. Pretty killer stuff and I think they only have this 7" so far. Hopefully they keep it going and release more soon!

Holograms play post-punk and hail from Sweden. The video is weird and may make you dizzy. 

Lastly is a killer video from those noisy Japanese punks Framtid. The video comes from a DVD and has amazing quality. 

Everyday Failure Routine

First up is the killer new band Ssyndrom. They play killer raw punk and hail from Sacramento. Check it 

Up next is a video from a somewhat recent single by From Ashes Rise. 

Lost Tribe are an awesome band from Richmond and have an 80's peace punk sound that shares similarities with Anti-Sect and other bands from that era. 

Shadow house play dark post punk and reign from Portland. If you like bands like Spectres, then you will probably like this band. 

Next up is another killer band called OBNII's. They are from Austin and play a garage style of punk that I really dig. 

Total Vomit Experience are from Finland and play raging crustcore. Check em out!

Loud Boyz play straight forward, hard driving punk rock. They are from DC and other than that, I don't know much about them. 

Finally we have The Carnival who are also from Finland. The video is weird but the song rocks. 

Tradition should not dictate perspective

First up I have a great band called Anti-Kimaks. They are from Indonesia and play fast and  aggressive punk. This almost doesn't qualify as a video but, I really like the song so I wanted to share it anyway. 

Diskelma are a Finnish band that play crust infused rock n roll and they don't take themselves too seriously. This video is awesome and almost as great as the song. Check 'em out!

Next I have another killer band from Finland. It's the band Wasted. They play catchy punk that has really grown on me the more I listen. Check 'em out. 

Next is an awesome NYC band called Nomad. Killer riffs and relentless hardcore punk! This is a decent live video of them playing the New York's Alright fest in 2014. 

Future are an awesome punk band from São Paulo. They play melodic punk that has the right amount of edge to give it a melancholy feel. The video is decent enough to get a good idea of their sound. 

Ok, lastly I have another band from Brazil but this band sounds very different. They are called Violator and play straight forward thrash that has  similarities to DRI and maybe even a little early Metallica. Prepare to have a majorly sore neck after this one!

Ok I changed my mind and had to add this last one. Doom  actually made a video! It's for a killer track off their most recent Lp.

Sloth adjustment summer

First up is a pretty rad band that I know nothing about. This video features them playing live on Toronto's Equalizing Distort and they are called IDNS.

Awesome brutal crust from the Japanese band, Effigy! They know how to construct brutal riffs! This is live footage from the All Crusties Spending Loud Nights DVD. 

Government Flu are from Poland and play fast, straight forward punk music. This is a great multi cam live video of them playing at what appears to be a house. Check them out.

Up next is a funny video from the band Hellmaistroz. They are from Mexico and play heavy crust with a rock n roll influence. 

Next is a live, multi cam video, of Tragedy playing someplace in Mexico. The sound quality is just OK but it is a decent live video of them. They always sound great live, so audio wise this video doesn't do them justice. 

To Destroy your honor....

First up is an awesome Toronto punk band called Wasteoids. They had a few releases back in 2013 and I am not sure if they are still active. Check out this video of them playing live on Equalizing Distort. 

Next is an awesome Finnish band called Lapinpolthajat. They play straight forward punk and their songs will get stuck in your head. Their newest Lp is soon to get its USA pressing done by Havoc. 

Here is a video from a few years back of these Swedish rangers, Uncurbed. From what  I have heard these guys know how to party! 

Acrostix play killer Japanese hardcore. Every release that I have of their's is brutal and does not disappoint. This is a video made for some fest. 

Ok now for some metal. Midnight play metal the way it supposed to be played. It's not pretty and its also not over the top, production wise. The satanic thing gets a little old but if you liked classic Venom I think you will like them. 

The Flex play killer hardcore that is not too unlike other modern bands like Boston Strangler. Check 'em out!

Bloody Riot were around in the 80's and write some great, catchy songs. They came out of Italy and shared it least one member with Rawpower. 

Punkeye creek invasion!!!

First up is a fun video from the Portland band The Chemicals. 

Here is an awesome video of the hardcore punk band Gag Reflex. Playing someplace in Canada.

Killer hardcore band ACxDC. These guys are out of Arizona and rage pretty hard. 

Up next is a great track from Big Eyes. Came out on a single a number of years back. Check it out!

Cool song by the band Nu Pogodi. I really don't know much about this band and I have no idea where they are from but I like song and video. I do know that the footage and pictures are from their East Coast tour in 2013. 

Awesome video of the brutal Japanese crust band Age. They toured with Hellshock a few years band and were amazing live. This is a multi-cam video with decent sound quality. 

Here is a cool video from the Canadian band White Lung. The song is one of my favorite by them because it has a really dark flavor to it. 

Again I am late to the game and when this video came out it was my first time hearing Connoisseur and boy was I missing out! This is easily one of my favorite new bands. They are heavy and witty at the same time. They have a lot of emphasis on weed which bores me usually but not with these guys. They have another video out that is equally as cool and you should most definitely search out their records and buy them.

delinquent study habits

Hard Left are a new Oi outfit from Oakland. They wear their politics on their sleeves. They have a couple 7"s out and an Lp that literally just came out. Production quality on the Lp is spot on and not over produced, like many current Oi bands. This almost doesn't qualify as a video, but because of my constant rotation of their new Lp, I just couldn't pass up including them on the blog. 

Awesome video of this killer punk band from Barcelona. Destino Final only put out a little bit of music, but what they did put out is top notch hardcore punk. Their live shows were insane and the music just embraces that punk angst. 

Kicker are a bunch of old guys from many different killer bay area bands, such as Dystopia and Neurosis, but they sound nothing like either of them. Kicker are straight forward punk, with no frills and light hearted lyrics. This band is meant to be fun and thats exactly what it is. Check em out.

Great video of the legendary Belgium band The Kids. Its from 1978 so it is well before they came out with their not so great material. The video even features pieces of an interview with english subs. 

Rifle Diet are a newish crust band from Minneapolis featuring members from Garmonbozia and In Defence. Heavy crust with melodic bits. 

This is your policy review...

Utanforskapet are a Swedish band that are a few years old and play a style of crust mixed with rock n roll. The members were apart of other notable projects like the Uncurbed and Asocial. They only have two releases out but both are worth checking out. 

Scab Eater are a new band of Aussies that play raging punk. I know they have an EP out, but I am not sure what else. 

Dromdead are a crust band out of Venezuela. They play that classic style of hardcore punk taken from bands like The Varukers and they do it well. 

Great quality live video of Gorilla Angreb. Gorilla Angreb were an awesome band out of Denmark and they broke up a few years ago. All their records are still great and worth checking out if you didn't the first time around. 

There is little I can say about Anti-Cimex that has not been said before. Feral Ward has teamed up with others to reissue all their classic material properly. The box set has just became available again on Feral Wards web site and are limited to one per order. They are 90$ but I am sure they are worth every penny. Anyone have 90$ I can barrow?

The Barracudas just seep energy and fun. The fact that English kids wrote songs about the California sun is pretty silly, but they are just so good it doesn't matter. This is music meant to be partied to.

Zabandijas de la 18 are from Ecuador and play fast punk with no frills but lots of energy. Check 'em out. 

Really fun video from The Brokedowns. They have another video that is just as entertaining if you like this one. They play a style of punk that resembles pop punk, but it still has a rough edges, which to me is what makes them stand out from others. 

The Slowmotions are crazy punk rockers from Japan. All you need is this video to prove their insanity to you. I have the dial tone lp and a couple 7"s and they are all similar sloppy punk and it rules.
