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.
