âThis song is more funny and deals with the same subject than âFirst the town, then the worldâ. Itâs about dedication, motivation and commitment. In short, get your fingers out of your asshole (as we say in French). Chase your dreams, make them happen, be proud of yourself and be confident about what you do!â – Greg (vocals & guitar)

Years before playing raw-throated rock & roll with Long Arms, James Menefee (River City High, Higley) cut his teeth as a punk rocker, forming his first band at 12 years old and touring across America while still a teenager. Those were whirlwind years, filled with the highs and lows of a life spent on the road. He played shows with his heroes. He appeared on MTV. He slept on floors, signed with a major label, and wrote songs that told the whole story. Years later, that story continues with Young Life, the third album by Long Arms. James formed the band in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia, eventually cementing a four-piece lineup around lead guitarist Phil Heesen III, drummer Greg Butler, and bassist Alex Smith. Together, the musicians whipped up a sound rooted in electric guitars and vocal hooks – a sound built for open highways, car dashboards, and barroom stages. Young Life is the sharpest version of that sound, delivering a batch of songs trapped halfway bewteen the rule-breaking spirit of James’ teenage punk days and the epic sweep of electric rock & roll.

âThe songs on Buffalo Buffalo give a quick glimpse of where weâve been for the past few years â falling in love while it feels like the worldâs imploding, getting too old to be young dudes in a band, and trying real hard to stay positive. Theyâre also a glimpse of whatâs to come, and we hope people love them as much as we do.â
BERRILOOM AND THE DOOM is a band from Budapest, Hungary, that incorporates many styles of shoegaze, emo, noise rock and indie. The band consists of Ăkos DĂ©ri (vocals, guitar), GĂĄbor KĆvĂĄri (vocals, bass) and GĂĄbor KovĂĄcs (vocals, drums). Formerly as a solo project Ăkos has released a few EP-s and LP-s before. The last one called âDiscontinuous Manâ released in 2016. The band are now working on their first material.
Spearheaded by Matthew Smith, Hodera has persisted in forming a unique sound amidst the vast depths of successful New Jersey acts. The groupâs first release, 2014âs Reset To Default, was only a glimpse at the songwriting talent possessed by Smith. With 2015âs United By Birdcalls the name Hodera name was put on the map, touring extensively both in the United States and the United Kingdom. From landing showcases at SXSW and set times at The Fest, the honest nature of the songs found the band at the top of Spotify Viral Charts. Hodera will now release First Things First via Take This To Heart Records on October 20th.
First Things First is an explorative album, diving into difficult subjects such as depression, suicide, loss and love. Hodera have weaved a web of progress through their constant work ethic, bettering their songwriting and pushing the boundaries of their delicate dynamics. First Things First is candid with its emotions, unraveling a soundscape that provides listeners with an album full of memory and warmth.
“I like to keep the storyline in each song raw, so it’s not just a general pop song, or anyone elseâs memory. Itâs my story that Iâm telling and letting people connect with,â Smith comments about First Things First. Being transparent is more than an act for Hodera, it’s embedded into the very soul of the music, and that’s what makes their music feel personal.
Through First Things Firstâs dynamic ten tracks, we are brought on a journey with Hodera, as Matthew poetically narrates each story. We join them in the confusion and frustration of growing up and trying to find where we belong; the grief of losing friends, family and potential loves; the dark corners depression can lead to, and the measures someone will go to just for a glimpse at happinessâ light again. Ultimately though, it leads us to the realization that no one is alone in the human experience and we can all strive to get better. So, first things first, go give this album a listen.
“I wrote this song during a depressive downward spiral that landed me in the hospital. Of all the waves of depression I’ve experienced over the last decade, this was the lowest I had ever gotten and the closest to death. I was fucked up on red wine and cough syrup at 2am and started writing this song in my bed, which is in a little nook of the basement, surrounded by four white walls. We finished the song and recorded it after my last hospitalization, so the ‘white walls’ are also partly referring to the hospital walls, or really just the feeling of being trapped, stuck in a hopeless rut.” – Matthew Smith (Singer/Guitarist)
DAKHMA commented on the PILORI‘s side:
It’s a fucking must for these dark and gloomy days as everything dies around us pilori will drag you deeper keeping your blood hot.
On the proverbial A-side, Brooklynâs Heavy Traffic comes off strong with âDaylight Ripoffâ which is, at first listen, a wall off feedback-drenched noise. There are overarching elements of doom metal, with psych rock guitar riffs worked in before the end of the track falls apart into chaos. Only through this single glimpse at the band, it seems clear that âepicâ is a goal, although itâs hard to see if they really have the chops. Youâll want to dig deeper, for certain.
Flip this over and youâve got The Mad Doctors, also from New York, whose penchant for voluminous noise seems similar, except they are punk and surf influenced. Their three-minute burst of energy, âYuengling Malmsteenâ is pretty accessible and itâs easy to see what the band is going for with it, fun loving and cheeky, although with a portmanteau of lager beer and legendary guitars in your title, Iâm inclined to want to better understand Doctor Sethâs vocals. Alas, I donât, but that doesnât rob itâs thunder; perhaps a delve into their April release No Waves, Just Sharks is in order. / New Noise Magazine

ALL PIGS MUST DIE comes crushing forth with their follow-up to 2013’s lauded Nothing Violates This Nature, with the by-the-throat rampage of Hostage Animal, delivering ten new tracks which distill aggressive music to its purest tenets. The lineup has expanded to a quintet since prior records, with guitarist Brian Izzi (Trap Them) joining vocalist Kevin Baker (The Hope Conspiracy), drummer Ben Koller (Converge), bassist Matt Woods (Bloodhorse), and guitarist Adam Wentworth (Bloodhorse). Featuring some of the most well-seasoned musicians in the scene, Hostage Animal showcases the band’s most dynamic songwriting thus far, while retaining every bit of contempt and aggression fans have learned to expect from ALL PIGS MUST DIE.
ALL PIGS MUST DIE unleashed their first full-length in 2011 with God Is War, the thirty-minute rip a nod to primeval disdain and anger. Exploring facets of human conflict one track at a time, God Is War introduced the world to a whole new spectrum of rage. In 2013, APMD upped the ante with Nothing Violates This Nature; having honed their craft with more speed and filth, the band pushed their sound closer to the edge. Now, in 2017, the band is preparing to issue Hostage Animal which, like its predecessors, was recorded at Kurt Ballou’s GodCity Studio, but that is where the similarities end; Hostage Animal ushers in ten new songs that pulverize, gnash, and whirl with the band’s most punishing delivery yet. Hostage Animal showcases that ALL PIGS MUST DIE is far more than the sum of their parts, and their fusion of crust punk, hardcore, and metal is more ferocious than ever before.

“The politics of distraction influences people to lose focus on what makes a positive impact on their lives and the world,” the band said about the new album. “It encourages people to make choices that are not in their best interest and reduces society’s ability to make progressive change. The ‘American Fall’ is our rejection of this harmful distraction. At this crucial moment in history, we must focus on pushing past the status quo to create a better and more just world. We reject the proliferation of exploitation, racism, bigotry, and socioeconomic injustice that dominate the policies of Donald Trump, just as we renounce the neoliberal status quo that came before him.”
âThis entire record was inspired by conversations I had with my mother over the last two and a half years. She gave me the compass to be able to navigate this painful path.â
One of seven pieces written for the building itself (and even the space around it), “Kitchen” is the music that diners first hear as they are greeted by Chef Kahn before dinner service begins for the evening. In composing the music for this interaction, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU’s Chris King and Jeremy Galindo sought to convey a warm, hospitable – if not reassuring – tone for listeners that may (or may not) be present elsewhere as they discover and explore the spaces in and around Vespertine’s looming architectural monolith for the remainder of their stay.

Cash says “Erra is a metal band, Iâve always enjoyed playing and writing that stuff, but Ghost Atlas is more of a reflection of what I personally enjoy, what I listen to most and what influenced my songwriting late in high school.”
The primary objective of “Legs” is to set a provocative tone. “It has a dark, uncomfortable, yet sexy vibe to it,” says Cash. “It’s like the sound of sadomasochism and hopefully invokes a mood in the listener that is similar to the feeling I get from listening to a song like ‘You’ve Seen the Butcher’.”
“Structure” is a bit more on the pogo side complimented nicely with sharp echo stabs and a ruinous atmosphere. “Gluttony” brings us back to that toss-and-turn-in-a-dark-alley kind of crunchy freak junk that the teens mangle themselves to. Our favorite blend of ugly and appealing.

Comprised of an international cast of scene veterans, who cut their teeth in that formative moment of political, cynical, antagonistic extremes, SECT unites vocalist Chris Colohan (Cursed, Burning Love, Left For Dead), guitarists James Chang (Catharsis, Undying) and Scott Crouse (Earth Crisis, The Path Of Resistance), bassist Steve Hart (Day Of Suffering), and drummer Andy Hurley (Racetraitor, Fall Out Boy, The Damned Things). The result of these musicians’ alignment is a caustic, riotous, belligerent style of vile hardcore fed by a boundless well of socio-political vitriol.
SECT gets right down to the blast beats and breakdowns that fight it out in their chaotic jams. They cut the shit and go for the throat with no time to waste, “because the Orwellian police states and irreparable social and ecological disasters we once saw off on the horizon are now on our front doorsteps, in full swing. And in just such a volatile, precarious moment as this for civilization, there is more reason than ever to keep lashing out at a world more suicidally-bent on its own destruction and the exploitation of people, species and the ecosystem itself, than perhaps ever before in history.”

âWe took on the engineering and production of the album as a band, and I mixed the album myselfâ says guitarist Tim Feben of their new material âIt was great to have access to a hall of fame collection of gear and we really went to town to try and get as much character as possible on the record.
“The pressures of being in a new studio and the time and money involved have often been a real hindrance to the creative process, so we decided to record as much raw playing as possible in the time we had and then constructed it off site.
“A lot of the extra sounds and textures, which we’ve really tried to develop for this record, came after those initial sessions, and have resulted in a much deeper, fuller sound, which we’re really excited about.â
Fast and technical no nonsense punk rock, with the 90’s riding on their tail: that’s what you can expect from Young Hearts. After a year of intense writing, this seasoned quintet started tearing stages apart all over Belgium and Holland in 2014. Their energetic act and exquisite songwriting caught the eye of Thanks But No Thanks Records, and it’s exactly what you’ll get from them. Check out the EP Now’s My Time and their debut album In The Middle You’ll Find Balance on iTunes or Spotify!
After disbanding in 1999, IRON MONKEY has reformed for phase two of their mission. Recorded in their hometown of Nottingham in Spring 2017 A.D. with producer Johnny A. Carter, 9-13 is nine songs and forty-eight minutes of total nihilism. Now older, more cynical, and more isolationist, IRON MONKEY are back to usurp the scene, then crush it’s skull. Without question, their most focused, aggressive and direct material to date, 9-13 is an all-out assault of violent hatred and nightmarish negativity. Recommended listening for fans of pain, suffering, and misanthropy.
IRON MONKEY was beaten to life in the year of your Lord, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-four, at the location of Nottingham, England. The original members were named: J.P.. Morrow, J. Rushby, S. Watson, D. Dalziel, and J. Greaves. Influences were primarily Eyehategod, Buzzov*en, Floor, Grief, and various hardcore punks and heavy metals.
IRON MONKEY shit out six disgusting tracks of raw sludge-core that were released on the Union Mill label then later on Earache Records. During this period, S. Watson was thrown out and replaced by God’s lonely man, Dean Berry. Nineteen ninety-eight saw the release of the album Our Problem, also on Earache Records, a masterpiece of negative rock that instigated peace on earth and goodwill to all men. This was succeeded by a split release on Man’s Ruin Records with Church Of Misery from Japan. J. Rushby soon abdicated and the band found a replacement in the manner of S. O’hara of Acrimony. IRON MONKEY was destroyed sometime in nineteen ninety-nine. Vocal terror J. P. Morrow died of a heart attack in June of two thousand and two. Rest in noise.
The band reformed for no reason in the winter of two thousand sixteen with original members J. Rushby and S. Watson, with the addition of current Chaos UK drummer Brigga, forming the shape of an inverted black triangle of vitriol and phase two of operations. IRON MONKEY do not care about your scene, bands, or opinions… ELECTROCUTION, DOOM, OMEGA OMEGA OMEGA. – J. Rushby, Two Thousand Seventeen
Produced by The Front Bottoms and Nick Furlong at studios in London, Texas, California, New Jersey, and Connecticut, GOING GREY arrives today at all DSPs, www.thefrontbottoms.com, and music retailers nationwide. GOING GREY is highlighted by the lead tracks âVacation Townâ and âRaining,â which arrived earlier this year to critical acclaim. NPR hailed the new music as ââŠbrutally honest, witty and confessionalâŠâ adding, âThe groupâs heart and humor shineâŠâ while The FADER remarked, âThe Front Bottoms make memorable sing-a-longs that call back to a different, simpler, sadder era of confessional guitar music.â Stereogum praised âRainingâ as, âgrand and reflective and damn near arena-ready,â with A.V. Club declaring, âThe Front Bottoms are more confident, and secure enough to confess to all they donât yet know. Itâs a privilege to listen in as they work it out.â
The New Jersey-based band is set to begin a U.S. headline tour with special guests Basement and Bad Bad Hats. The coast-to-coast trek is set to commence Thursday, October 19th at Boston, MAâs House of Blues and then continue into November (see attached itinerary).

Deep at the heart of Makthaverskanâs new album Ill lies a burning desire, a longing to find compassion against a global backdrop where love in all its forms feels as if its being sucked from our lives. Led by vocalist Maja Milnerâs barbed wail, Ill is Makthaverskan turning their sights on the world at large, chasing hope and understanding in a time when it can seem impossible to find either.
Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, the post punk five-piece roused a worldwide following with the single âNo Mercyâ and the release of their sophomore album II via Bostonâs Run For Cover and Swedenâs Luxury Records. The failure of love and loss of innocence that punctuated II and No Mercy’s searing condemnation of âfuck you for fucking me when I was seventeenâ however no longer dominate Milnerâs worldview on Ill. Here, each new day is a cyclical curse for Milner as she sings on âLeda,â âI wake up feeling worse every day.â
Makthaverskanâs III represents the bandâs most focused songwriting, patiently recorded over the last three years as a leaner four-piece with producer Hans Olsson Brookes. Where past records were collections of scattered songs, IIIconveys an intentional cohesion. At the core is Milnerâs austere purview. She turns her feminine powers against society, rather than the wreckage of her past, yet still exploring themes of what can and cannot be controlled. âIn My Dreams,â takes the perspective of dreams as an opportunity to play out the grand possibilities of love, knowing that once sheâs awake they’re out of her hands.
Despite this, Makthaverskan are far from defeated. On âEdenâ, Milner struggles to find her place in a society increasingly divided by hatred (âhumanity equals misery / thereâs nothing here to see / Is this what we want, or is it all we know?â). On âComfortâ she finds trust in a stranger – refusing to give up hope. In fact, Makthaverskan is a band built to overcome. Even when Milnerâs lyrics suggest the bleak – raw, unbridled energy pulsates through III. âWitnessâ showcases the rhythm section on overdrive with an intensity that carries over into the erratic pace of âEdenâ and âFront.â For all the disillusionment that Milner dishes out, behind her is a monolithic sound that broods in unison yet shimmers with hope.
With the band navigating through their mid-to-late twenties, closer âDays Turn Into Yearsâ encapsulates the biological shift in how time is felt and internalized. The band subdues its lilting chords ever-so slightly and Milner slips into a lower register for the refrain. This is Makthaverskan settling in, but not relinquishing to complacency.
F*ck Growing Up’ is an uplifting, high energy track with a memorable hooky melody which will stick in your head for days. The track is full of youthful exuberance with a fast tempo throughout, dropping into half-time in the chorus with awesome impact; a track to make the crowd get off their feet if there ever was one.
The LA rockers released debut single, ‘Something Greater’ in June 2016 and have made a name for themselves across California with multiple tours, showcasing an impressive live set and innate cohesion belying their relative youth.
The band have suffered hard times, “No Sleep” was written and recorded while all of the band were living in a van in a parking lot in LA after being scammed out of a shared home on Craigslist. The experience however, brought the band closer together with their combined passion and determination for making music, they overcame the odds, delivering an impressive EP.
Propelling off the video for (‘F*ck Growing Up’), Common Grounds look set for a bright future, with an insatiable energy matched by their steely determination and passion for songwriting.

âAn update â following extradition from California to Washington, the band has now been charged. Weâd like to emphasise; the Spokane Police Department has pressed charges as procedural formality, without doing so, they would be forced to release band â this is not a conviction or any indication of guilt or innocence.
Once again, we ask that everyone wait for each partyâs case to be presented and await the courtâs decision. With that said, whilst cases are being prepared on both sides, some facts are indisputable at this point â that the original officer who took the complaint from the accuser stated, âI do not have probable cause that a rape occurredâ, and itâs taken a full 30 days to file charges, which is right up against the point at which the defendants would legally have had to be released.
The band firmly refutes the allegations and are confident that once the facts and evidence have been seen and heard, they will be released and able to return home.
Individuals who were present on the night in question with information about the case are asked to reach out to the defense lawyer, Steve Graham of Spokane, Washington.â

Still comprised of the four original steadfast members, The Flatliners continue to build on the enduring connection that brought them together 15 years ago. A testament to perseverance and dedication, The Flatliners have logged countless miles on the road and amassed a dedicated legion of fans since the bandâs inception. The Flatliners latest release âInviting Lightâ is out now via Dine Alone Records. The album signifies a new chapter for the group who continue to hold fast to the DIY punk-rock ethos that has been at their core since the beginning.
The Flatlinersâ latest album, Inviting Light, is out now on Rise and Dine Alone Records. The band’s frontman Chris Cresswell commented:
âWe canât believe it, but itâs been 10 years since we released our album The Great Awake⊠All the way back then, we fired off a message to one of our favourite bands â A Wilhelm Scream â on MySpace (yes⊠MySpaceâŠ) asking them to join us for our record release shows. They obliged, and subsequently embarrassed us on stage every night with their incredible level of musicianship and overall presence. An inimitable friendship was born, and one thatâs seen us play in over 10 countries together over the last 10 years, making a hell of a lot of memories along the way. On this same weekend of shows in 2007, we were lucky enough to get a glimpse of some early mixes of their then-upcoming album Career Suicide. It was like being a told a secret you couldnât wait to share with the world. Our minds were blown. We thought nothing would be better than to celebrate the 10th anniversary of both these albums together. So come see it live. Come see A Wilhelm Scream continue to embarrass us all these years later!â

Guitarist Rick Schneider talks about the recording of The Mortal Coil:
“Recording ‘The Mortal Coil’ was unlike any studio experience we’d had before, both in location and environment. A few hours south of Sydney we rented a holiday house, not knowing how well it would suit our needs. We managed to set up two work stations and quickly found ourselves in a focused, yet highly relaxed work environment. While stress would inevitably makes its way into the process, the end result is something we are all very proud of, and I’ll personally always look back on that month fondly.”

Forged in 2015, SCOUR’s punishing mix of black metal, grindcore, and thrash made its debut with the ferocious single “Dispatched.” The band’s debut EP, Grey, was released the following year via Anselmo’s own Housecore label. Just before a crushing performance at Hellfest Open Air, which featured a cover of the Pantera classic “Strength Beyond Strength,” the band recorded their Red EP at Nodferatu’s Lair with Steve Berrigan (Down, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals, Eyehategod, Haarp, Classhole, etc.) at the helm. The record was once again mixed and mastered by Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Cattle Decapitation, Cobalt, Khemmis) at Flatline Audio.
