The Afternoon Gentlemen

Picture of The Afternoon Gentlemen
The Afternoon Gentlemen, from Leeds, England,  is a jaw-dropping and unpredictable mincegrind/powerviolence outfit drenched with drunken aggression.  These guys play faster, harder and more precise than most attempted bands of the genre.  This is a clever and brutal start-stop grind band that constantly blows my mind.  They have the perfect mixture of face-melting grindcore and punk-as-fuck powerviolence that's highly addictive.  Enjoy the crushing speed and download everything I could find below.

Unfun

 
Unfun is a gruff and fuzzed-out punk band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada that brings a whole lot of noise to the table.  Their sound is an upbeat mixture of raw pop-punk and a darker indie vibe that's all soaked with distortion and grit.  This band is amazing and really sounds like they give their all in every song.  Outside their rough and gloomy tone, these guys are driving, energetic and seriously fun as hell.  Snag everything below and have a blast.  Dig!
