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.
