Pennines

Time for something real twinkly. UK's Pennines play some beautiful indie pop that anyone can get into. Just think a more sped up American Football with a little more of a positive attitude lyrics wise. Below is their discography. The singer is now the new vocalist for This Town Needs Guns, and other members recently formed the two other bands below. I'm not sure if these dudes broke up, but if they haven't they're way overdue for an LP. Get on on this shit, and get twinkly!

The Holy Fucking Spirit


The Holy Fucking Spirit was an incredibly short lived screamo outfit consisting of ex-members from such tasty bands as Welcome The Plague Year, Pyramids, In First Person, Joshua Fit For Battle, Take Down Your Art & A Petal Fallen.  This trio only spit out one release containing four masterfully written tracks of memorable emotional hardcore.  Melodic, chaotic and refreshingly creative.  Download below and Dig.


Exodus Cassette (2005)

Get Destroyed

Get Destroyed is an unrelenting fastcore/powerviolence band from Tempe, AZ.  These dudes are ridiculous!  Blazing riffs fill your speakers along with down-tuned fuzzy bass, crazy-fast drum skills (dude's a maniac!) and mighty harsh vox.  These guys are a must-have for any fan of powerviolence.  Their latest 7" called "Shut In" was dropped in 2011, and will tear your face off.  All their jams are rad as hell.  Everything's they've dropped is posted below.  Dig Y'all...DIG!

Vile Nation

Vile Nation is a grimey thrash punk band from Memphis, Tennessee.  Snotty, angry, dirty and especially fast hardcore punk complete with harsh snarling vocals, super-fast drums and fierce bass and guitar that blasts through riffs with a distinct twangy and thrashy sound.  Everything this band does works out brilliantly.  It's definitely some of the better degenerate/obnoxious lo-fi punk I've heard in recent years.  So far the band has three releases under their belt that I posted below.  We can only hope for more...SOOON!  Dig.

Larry Bird


Larry Bird was one of the first bands to inspire New Hampshire's indie scene, and were a magical twinkling dreamboat among their peers. Ask anyone who went to a Larry Bird show in the early 00's, and they will strongly agree. Soothing vocals, pretty guitars, precise drumming, and a good dose of heavier buildups make Larry Bird a fun listen. Below is their discography. Special thanks goes out to Steve from Larry Bird for hooking me up with the tracks. Peep the links for Call Her Alaska and The Big Sky for more of his phenomenal drum work.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed

Agoraphobic Nosebleed....they are the soundtrack for the apocalypse for starters.  Formed in Springfield, Ma, 1994, guitarist Scott Hull constructed this manic, industrial, drum-machine driven, digital grind dream.  Genius A.D.D. songwriting is ever-so challenging to follow, but that's the brilliance of if.  It's a grindcore orchestra filled with dark, eerie noise, incredible guitar-work, scowling shrieks, and ridiculously crafted drum programming that's all conducted perfectly.  They have an intimidatingly crazy amount of material, but I did my best gathering most of it.  Snag it all below.  DIG.

Man Is The Bastard

Man Is The Bastard is considered as one of the most influential and overall creative powerviolence bands in the history of the genre.  Intricate songwriting that is as clever as it is brutally challenging.  They create absolute chaos that is smart, fresh, fierce and definitely original.  From 1991-1997, these bastards brought hardcore punk to an entirely different level that many bands have tried to duplicate, but have never topped.  This band is simply amazing!  MITB mixes industrial noise and effects along with plenty of experimentation with bass chords/scales and crusty, doom-like breaks.  They've really got it all! Rapid speeds, harsh vocals, destructive shredding and a damn-good message.  Below is everything I could dig up from them.  DIG!!
