NOFX

War on Errorism

No thanks. You’re right how fucking obvious of me, but I got into it when I reviewed the EP leading up to this embodiment of ‘punk rock that definitely ain’t punk rock’ and I said it all there and I did not discover anything else on the full length except more fucking c...rap; so NOFX, no thanks.

Holy shit a new original punk rock band not making copies of redone and shooting for TRL with ironic and funny lyrics and shamelessly acting like asses over simple hooks for 10 year olds, but someone doing something! No Joke last week I decided I hated punk rock, even all the old bands have let us down. I love None More Black’s vocals, lyrics and just the whole record. You don’t question why these guys are doing what they are doing. Real props here you may have saved some people. Recognize this band and record. More None More Black, please! (Fat Wreck Chords)

Someone said New York Hardcore was dead. It’s not. It burns inside On the Rise. Classic, traditional NYHC sound, yet great original songs that dare melody, and challenge. Classic NYHC production and guest appearances from Mike Scondotto Inhuman, Rob Everybody Gets Hurt and Roger Miret (and if you don’t know...). Get fucking open on Burning Inside. (Bridge Nine)

That Within Blood III Tempered

I never got into Shai Hulud and it was never intentional. They were always right there and peoples whom I talk music with love this band and I know kids whom live for this band. With that said, I bought my first Shai Hulud record, That Within Blood Ill Tempered. I love this record. I think I expected them to be a simpler hardcore band. This band is intense and serious. The music is full of tension and pulls and tears one. It is unpredictable and complex in orchestration and I have much respect for the musicians who challenge themselves. The lyrics are really serious yo. (Revelation)
