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.
