Death To Tyrants

Death To Tyrants hails from Peterborough, NH and play a timeless blend of experimental hardcore, math rock and sometimes folk.  Mostly instrumental, these guys keep it progressive and jazzy with endless time changes and epic build-ups that are simply mind-blowing.  Their sound flows from spastic and technical to beautifully arranged ambiance.  DTT are always refreshing to hear and have been one of the most standout bands I've had the privilege to see live.  It's pure talent and 4 friends creating amazing songs  

for the love of jamming.  This incredible NH band just dropped a brand new 7" on Tor Johnson Records and it's the first new material from the band in far too long.  Death To Tyrants has always been one of my absolute favorites and their long-awaited EP is easily some of the finest material that has blessed this year of already great music.  The only releases I can't seem to dig up are the Expositions 2-8 CD-R and Cast & Camber Remix's.  Snag everything below and listen in awe.  This shit's magic.  Also, keep on the lookout for a possible Ampere / Death To Tyrants Split 8" in the future!!??  Dig.

Ritual Mess

Ritual Mess brings you a sound that sparks back to the foundation of Gravity Records with nods to such bands as Antioch Arrow, and The Swing Kids, but all the while keeping a highly original sound that's undeniably aggressive and delivers a hard punch.  Their Debut 7" was a stunning display of exactly what the members were aiming for.  Then a recent full-length was released and gave this band room to get in your head completely.  This is passion and intensity that's captured with a masterful production and will sure live long after your first aural injection.  This is the closest thing to an Orchid reunion indeed.  Snag these gems below and DIG!

DiE

The United Kingdom's DiE is a thumping, snarling and primitive brand of intensely menacing hardcore.  Powerful walls of distorted bass and guitars flood over barbarian drums and vicious vocal assaults with massive success.  The band's debut was a complete rager beyond compare and now they recently dropped another destructive EP.  Snag and dig.  This is insane!!

Mad Dog

NYC's Mad Dog is made up of ex-Nomos members and constructs a straight-forward-yet-furious hybrid of 80's oi punk from the UK and classic American hardcore that just goes straight for the kill.  These oddly melodic and fuzzed out jams keep a steady pace of stomping beats, crappy guitar leads, driving bass lines and ugly vocals.  Snag their debut demo below and dig.

Firestarter

Albany New York's, Firestarter bring on the fun. Think pop-punk with an aggressive pulse that leans towards the punk element of the genre. Really good stuff. And what makes it better is their singer doesn't sound like he's trying to sound like Mark or Tom from Blink-182. For some reason, that's all I've been running into these days when I give pop-punk a chance. Thank you, Firestarter for being original. Their current discography is below.

Koward

Koward hails from the Boston area and plays a hard hitting and messy brand of destructive d-beat punk.  This outfit rages hard as hell with unstoppably forceful chord shredding, pummeling drums, muddy bass and howling grunts.  These guys just dropped a brand new release of musical intensity that you can't pass up.  Snag everything below and DIG!

Black Love

Black Love is kinda progressive, kinda 90's rock, kinda poppy, and kinda dark. There really isn't a way to describe them, but that's what I enjoy about these guys the most. They dabble in multiple genres. Peep all their releases below. Doesn't matter which, they're all pretty kick ass.

Violent Sons is a rising hardcore powerhouse from the New England area.  This band features a pedigree of talented members that completely slay their instruments without hesitation.  Their sound is tough as nails, thrashy, blasting and fresh to say the least and even sprinkle in melodic guitar leads that add even more substance to their overall great sound.  Snag their debut LP below and rip it up!  Dig!!!

No Faith

Here's Western MA's No Faith.  This project is the brainchild of vocalist Matt Mckeown who has recruited fellow Vaccine bandmates Will Killingsworth on vocal duties and Joe Shumsky on drums along with a dude from Sqrm.  These madmen create a pulverizing mixture of eerie, noise saturated, reverb-drenched powerviolence.  Their sound is incredibly angry, heavy as hell filled with walls of harsh blasting punk madness.  Grinding through tracks in no time at all, their material is simply unrelenting and without a doubt some of the rowdiest noise I've had the privilege of hearing in recent years.  Snag these ugly gems below and dig your face off.  DIG!
