(7/10) Beach Rats is a new band, entering the fields of punk and hardcore. Even though the band is new, band members are veterans when it comes to this style of music. Minor Thread/Bad Religion guitarist Brian Baker is part of this all-star cast as well as Lifetime’s Ari Katz. The band releases with ‘Wasted... Continue Reading →
(9/10) There aren’t that many hardcore bands that are part of Nuclear Blast’s portfolio and one of them is New York veterans Madball. The band began in the late 80’s as a side project of the legendary Agnostic Front. Madball grew slowly but steady. The guys played for many years some smaller regional venues, a... Continue Reading →

Transferring this definition to Boston-based hardcore veterans Slapshot is spot on. Slapshot’s songs are fast and extremely powerful. The... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Public Image Limited, also known as P.I.L., has a song in their repertoire entitled 'This is Not a Love Song'. This title came to my mind when I listend to the new album of Violation Wound, which isn't a 'love record'. It is though a record to love. The band is around since summer... Continue Reading →
