(Sacred Bones Records)

Mastered at 45RPM, this thing is short so this review will be too.  Sweet melancholy jams with a couple extra saccharine synthesized lines.  Solid.
[Reviewer: Rick]

Vaccine Human Hatred  7” 

(Painkiller Records)

Vaccine offers up ten, fast & heavy hate-fueled straightedge powerviolence songs in just over four minutes. The opening track, “Your Life’s A Joke” takes a non sympathetic stance on drug users and perfectly captures the bands overall aggressive attitude. When I hear lines like, “DISGUSTING PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT / HAVE ANOTHER DRINK / BLOW ANOTHER LINE / LEARN TO FUCKING THINK / GROW A FUCKING SPINE”, I want to X up & run into somebody fist-first. In addition to being the bassist of this outfit, Will Killingworth also handled the recording duties at his studio, DEAD AIR. Will is a master of raw-sounding hardcore recordings. The band features members of FAILURES, GLUE, AMPERE, & RELICS.

Xander Harris Urban Gothic LP

(NNF223)

If you know me at all (I’m Rick) then you know I have an affinity for soundtracks and specifically the whole Italo-Disco HOrror variety of those (not really like American 80s films, but not necessarily not those either – catch me in the right mood).  Xander Harris (guise of a man from Texas) fills my hunger for exactly that niche.  This is actually titled as a soundtrack to an analogous horror movie with song titles to match the opening and closing credits and scenes in between.  There are moments when he vears towards EBM (samples laid in over them actually remind me of the better parts of Velvet Acid Christ [do yourself a favor and don’t research that]).  This one has actually been in my rotation for a while – he was gracious enough to send me out a CDr and tape late last year. I’m glad Not Not Fun got ahold of this and added some really nice packaging to the deal.  Looks good.  Sounds good.

Reviews (2 Quick Ones By Rick)
_______________________________

(DAIS020 /500 First Press on black vinyl – Second Press on not-black vinyl is already in the works.)

Originally released by Escho in Copenhagen this pressing by Dais includes two tracks not on that release.  They are good.  Honestly, all of these songs are great.  “Broken Bone” might have the catchiest hook of them all though I would never do myself the disservice of just playing that one track on repeat.  This whole record was on repeat for me for a few days upon first getting ahold of it.  It’s rock and roll in a minimal style with a dark slant.  It actually reminds me a bit of These New Puritans if they were to strip away all the excess. I’m going to throw this on right now – again.

Mater Suspiria Vision Crack Witch LP
(LT021 /300 on black vinyl & /200 on white vinyl)

Have you heard the whispers of witch house?  Have you already written it off as a flash in the pan?  Is the genre’s name too irksome for you to bother with?  Mater Suspiria Vision have been the most prolific band within this genre. Among the great bands with that label they might be the only that fully embraces it and does not work against it like some rebellious angsty tween-ager telling off their folk’s or teachers. “You can’t label me.  I’m a square peg and you’re trying to fit me in a round hole!”  Corny analogy, but you get it.  Slow down.  I wish this record was mastered at 45RPM so I could slow it down even further.  It is some serious mysticism.  Italian horror movie, reverb, delay, repeat, sample loving sounds from the depths.  (Aquarius Records did quite a comprehensive review here: http://www.aquariusrecords.org/.)

Equal Vision 61 / Deathwish Inc 172

Converge was way ahead of the curve when Jane Doe was originally released. It debuted in September 2001 when the country was in a very fragile state, and took a new approach at what they had already mastered. Before Jane Doe, Converge released a few albums that had limited structure but were very thrashy and abrasive, with a few surprises here and there. This was a turning point for them, because they seem to focus more on the melody and structure as opposed to the sheer chaos their earlier albums had, and progress even further with each album after Jane Doe. Originally released on Equal Vision, Jane Doe sold out pretty quickly and became a very sought after record. It wasn’t until 2010 that it was given a reissue by Deathwish Inc, singer Jake Bannon’s label. The reissue came in a slew of different colors listed below, and comes in a gatefold jacket with a thick booklet that includes lyrics and artwork. This is a must for any fan of the genre. Get it while it’s still in print.

Crime Desire Alone In A Dream 12″EP

Gravity / Life’s A Rape Records

Crime Desire is a 3-piece band from California who play straight forward riff-driven hardcore punk. These guys have a bunch of records out (of print) at thispoint and this newest ep is complete with the staple gruff vocals & steady drum beat which you’ve come to expect, but then there are parts that make this unpredictable; guest vocals by Gitane Demone (Christian Death) & her daughter come in with wails, shrieks and muffled background noise. I like where this was headed and wish it was longer than just the 5 songs presented. I’m also really happy that in the year 2011, there is boundary pushing artsy hardcore worthy to be at least partially brought to us by the same label that gave us Heroin, Antioch Arrow, & Angel Hair. (FFO: Black Flag, F#cked Up, Failures)

[Reviewer: Josh]

In The Red (ITR204)

Those devoted to any sect of garage, from the 60s to now, will be sure to appreciate what Puerto Rican rockers Davila 666 are doing on their latest album, “Tan Bajo” (“So Low”). This album rips from start to finish. After a brief opening track bearing the same name as the album, Davila 666 launch straight into “Obsesionao,” a song whose opening riff seems to have been lifted straight from some badass 60s spy film or like it could be a secret agent’s theme. “Noche De Terror” and “Patitas” are awesomely raucous party jams, while the band shows they can be tender, too, on “Yo Seria Otro,” one of their slower tunes. Overall, this album is really stellar, with no weak points to be found throughout its 14 tracks. And while yes, it is sung entirely in Spanish, language is certainly not a barrier to enjoyment here—you’ll probably even find yourself singing along.

[Reviewer: Caren]

Circus Company (CCS055)

Downtempo electronic music is the most concise way to describe this. Beyond that, the album runs a wide breadth from Arthur Russel styled weird folkish songs to trip-hop influenced head bobbers to ambient mood pieces. The instrumentation beyond the electronic base is quite varied. It’s a somber virtuous record and even further impressive considering Nicolas is a junior in college right now.

[Reviewer: Rick]

Painkiller Records 033

Vaccine is a power-violence band from Massachusetts featuring members of Think I Care, Relics, Failures and Ampere. This 5” marks their third release and is about 2 minutes long. This record proves that a lot can be done and said in a very short amount of time. It’s 5 songs with topics ranging from political scum, to animal rights, to the BP oil spill, and it doesn’t slow down at all. It keeps up a fast and brutal pace for the entire release. My only gripe with this band is that all their releases are over in just a couple minutes. I know that demos are just supposed to give you a taste of the band, but I want more. Fingers crossed for an LP to come out soon.

11th Of March 2011 Update of New and Key Restocked Items

at Redscroll Records

Quick update about Record Store Day: Holy crap, it is fastly approaching.  I know it’s still a good month and 5 days away, but we’re already deep into preperations. Orders have gone out (more to come).  We’re organizing some great give-aways for the goodie bags (so you’re not just stuck with a bunch of promo material – last year was admittedly lackluster on that front and the reason we’re being pro-active about it ourselves.).  So, yea, get psyched! Don’t forget, our 4 Year Anniversary is on April 12th and it marks the beginning of the week long sale (20% Off Everything) and then Saturday, April 16th is Record Store Day (special hours that day only = 10AM-10PM).

(Deluxe Reissue Ltd. Ed. +3 Bonus Tracks) Mightier Than Sword Records

The Cro Mags changed the face of hardcore forever by perfectly fusing elements of hardcore with thrash-metal, inspiring thousands of bands who couldn’t hold a candle to the original. Singer-turned-author John Joseph’s lyrics are urgent, “I know there must be more than the struggle and strife Cause I’m looking for the answers and I need a clue Cause my mind’s so disturbed now what do I do?”.The Age Of Quarrel is a NYHC classic originally released in 1986 and arguably one of the most important hardcore albums of all time. This limited edition remastered 180 gram pressing comes as a gatefold and features three bonus demo tracks from 1984. 100 solid black, 400 clear red/solid black swirl, and 500 clear red = ONLY 1,000 PRESSED! (FFO: Bad Brains, Motorhead, Agnostic Front)[Reviewer: Josh]

This two song single is a great introduction to Germany’s Ritual. These guys play emotional hardcore punk with gruffly screamed lyrics. Through the songs & six photograph booklet, “Kissing Pavement” seems to be a concept of sorts showing the balance between natural & urban elements. Limited to 500 copies.

Star Slinger [UK] has been busy these last months making a name by dropping remix after remix.  As you might expect with such a deluge of material, none of it really stood out to me.  A lot of it good and some not really hitting me, it all gets lost in itself. Those aren’t physical releases though (with probable reason).  This release with Teams (the US counterpart who I’m honestly not familiar with beyond this) is a physical release. It’s three songs per side of a 12″ record (2×3=6 total). It’s not enough.  I keep looking for the second LP to put on so I can hear six more.  It doesn’t exist.  I end up playing it from the beginning again and loving it over and over (which is entirely appropriate – read on).  So, what Teams and Star Slinger do here is take some solid soul classics and some more recent R&B and run them up full of loops and drum hits and edits. Not exactly full on remixes and not what would classically be called a blend (but perhaps closer to that).  It retains the soul and impact of the original songs and drops them in a glitch-hop processor.  Head bobbing panty dropping jams (loving it over and over again, y’ dig?).

This track might have originally found an audience with the barage of witch house tracks that came with the inception of the genre title.  This is way too upbeat to dwell solely in those confines, however.  It’s a solid dance single with a completely interesting intro track and a couple solid remixes by Deadboy and Azari & III on the B side. They even have a video made by half of Fischerspooner (fittingly methinks).  Definitely leaning towards the house half of the witchy stable this project brainchild of the DJ Lauren Flax is the brightest black star under the blood moon (and feel free to add diametrically opposed light/dark descriptions).
