Holy shit. Ever since I first saw American Nightmare (aka Give Up The Ghost) back in 2003 with the Hope Conspiracy, they became one of my favorite hardcore bands, and I’ve been annoying my friends ever since saying that I wish they would play a fucking reunion show. So when I saw that they were […]
Black Flag Plays Nervous Breakdown EP
Some of you may have caught this already, but this past weekend Black Flag played a mini-sort of reunion show at the Goldenvoice 30th anniversary party. The line-up featured Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski, and Bill Stevenson… and they got Stephen Egerton to fill in. While not a complete original reunion, still pretty sweet that they […]
Armalite – Humongous (For fans of Husker Du, Atom and His Package, Amateur Party)
Holy shit. Philadelphia super group (featuring Atom, Dan Yemin, Jeff Ziga, and Mike McKee) has finally, after half a decade, released some new material!

Dangers – Anger (For fans of Ceremony, Punch, American Nightmare)
Holy shit. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard an album that has as much brutal sincerity as Dangers 2006 release of “Anger” and it’s fucking refreshing. Dangers do not hold back at all on “Anger”, both musically and lyrically. Some of the most aggressive, pissed off hardcore I’ve heard in a long time, […]
