Mind Equals Blown

After being all but gone from the hardcore/punk scene for the last seven years, Biohazard finally released their highly anticipated new album entitled Reborn In Defiance. I am a little disappointed that they haven’t completely ditched the nu-metal style, but they definitely bring back the old school hardcore and punk crossover music that was relevant

People like Matt Skiba because he’s a Mad Hatter riding a Ducati and writes very witty dark lyrics. People like Atom Willard because his drumming style is simple, clean, and legendary. An interesting combination, no doubt. The Hell is their new side project where the genre claims to be “kick ass” and their biography is

What kind of music do you like? “Oh, everything but country.” If that’s you described above, please move on because you’re missing out. If you’re still with me, I’ll present Anthony Raneri’s new song “Sandra Partial.” This is the second song released from the Bayside frontman’s new five-song solo EP, New Cathedrals, which is available

25 years. When we think of an event being 25 years, it’s usually a huge life event like a wedding or a birthday. It’s a quarter of a century, you know? But with Sick Of It All’s Nonstop, it’s kind of like a reunion with their oldest material, some of which dates back to 1987.

Rally up the punks because misery has never sounded this fun before. San Francisco’s Dead to Me has released Moscow Penny Ante like all select-honored rebels and it’s primo. Quite simply, this record is something you want to listen to while standing in the sun for hours or in a dirty nightclub. Either way, you’re

They’ve done it again, and yet it’s completely different. The Star Fucking Hipsters’ third release From the Dumpster to the Grave is so schizophrenic that it’s hard to understand how to “get” this record- so take it how you will. Scott “Stza Crack” Sturgeon leads his crew through a massively different approach from past records:

Oh Misfits… why do you insist on making more music when you’ve lost most of the talent to other bands? Having Jerry Only on vocals is a huge mistake. It was risky enough when they replaced Glenn Danzig with Michale Graves (who turned out to be a truly awesome singer) but putting Only on vocals

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket has its moments, but they don’t hit quite as hard as their siblings. That isn’t to say that it wasn’t enjoyable – it was, and still is an album I constantly revisit when I find myself in need of some additional cheer. For anything else; you best look elsewhere.
