The Mites

The Mites are a band that transport you back to the mid 90's with their alternative pop qualities. If this trio were around 20 years ago, I guarantee they'd be on a soundtrack to some teen romantic comedy. Call it crazy, but that's just what their sound reminds me of. If that turns you away from this, maybe The Mites aren't for you. Hopefully their past musical endeavors will intrigue you to give them a chance anyway.        

Members are also in: Plug, White Christ, Iron Age, & Gleeson

For fans of: Terrible Feelings, Bummer, & Siamese Twins,

Spur Of The Summer EP

Abuse.

Raleigh, North Carolina's Abuse. will crush you.  This is some incredibly crushing powerviolence that blends elements of grind and crusty hardcore.  This heavy onslaught of blistering punk hits hard with buzzing riffs,  snarling grunts and maniacal drum insanity.  The band's pulverizing LP was a blessing for 2013 and is without a doubt one of the strongest releases of the year.  Snag their current discography below and hope for more soon.  Dig.

Furnace

FURNACE!!!! If you haven't heard about these guys by now you deserve to have a bowling ball dropped on your face while sleeping.  These dudes tore shit up royally!  After a Self Titled 7" release and split with NH's L'antietam these guys roamed the states spreading their weed-fueled, tasty-as-hell and loud-as-fuck hardcore frenzy! A split with Western Mass' Relics and their debut LP titled "Doublewalker" was dropped shortly after and created quite a reputation for the band's massive sound. Their latest official release was a split 7" with Florida's Capsule which was fucking remarkable and followed with these hardcore warriors to tour all over Europe with their split-mates.  Furnace started a slow-going writing/recording process for a new full length to be released on Tor Johnson Records but sadly that shit fell through.  They released a 3 song sampler of the new unmastered tracks that I posted below with a newer demo track and the rest of their discography.  Look out for members' new project Raw Blow because their upcoming LP(?) will surely tear shit apart.  Dig.

Ceremony

Here's a new year treat from a band that needs no introduction.  The Bay Area's Ceremony have been banging out amazing hardcore releases since 2005.  They started off playing rage-drenched hardcore punk influenced by powerviolence and later-on leaned more towards an experimental, thumping, mid-tempo brand of dirty punk rock.  Their latest full length is probably one of their strongest releases within their discography and had me hooked immediately.  This band continues to astonish even with reworking their entire sound again and again.  These guys can't do wrong.  Snag everything below and dig.  Happy New Year!
