Switch Style - Self Titled EP

At this point you're probably scratching your head and saying "Who is Switch Style and why is Chip posting this"? I read about this band in a zine in 95 or 96 (possibly Hardware) and they were described as "if Strife were from Japan". I loved (love) Strife so I was pumped but never followed up on ordering the record. Fast forward to 2006 and our dear friend EMS (Brother's Keeper, Surprise Attack Records) posts their 7 inch on his blog, Coregasm....

Shelter - Quest For Certainty Tshirt

I apoligize for the lack of content lately. Ive been working nights as well as preparing for my wedding next month so its been a little hectic. That said, today I bring you a Shelter shirt I picked up on my last trip to Tokyo. If you ever happen to make a trip out to Japan, make sure to hit up Disk Union, a series of record stores which cater to different genres per store. The 3 floored store in Shinjuku has 2 floors dedicated to just metal...pretty...

Unbroken 3xLP now available!

When Unbroken played at the Glass House in Pomona, CA for the California version of the Burning Fight release show, Indecision Records had 522 copies of a triple LP set containing Unbroken's entire discography. They quickly sold out that day, and some unscrupulous individuals were selling them for $150 on ebay the next day. Well, there's a new pressing of the triple LP set available now over at Indecision Records for anyone that missed out on the...

Limited Pressing Free For Life Promotion

Just received this email:If you didn't already know, Bandcamp recently started charging fortheir service. Originally when we learned about this we thought,"streaming and downloading tons of music can cost a fortune at thelevel they're doing it, so you can't blame them." But then we saw theamount they were charging: 15% for digital sales and 10% (for now) forphysical. Well we were pretty disappointed, especially with thepercentage they were taking from physical sales. They have nothing todo with physical sales, and it's mind boggling how they justify...

Rebarker / Unrestrained split 7" out now

Strife - To The Bank (Bootleg Tshirt)

Here's an interesting t-shirt that was printed as Strife began to really gain momentum. While its pretty common place for bigger bands to ask for guarantees now, at the time apparently it wasn't very well looked upon for Strife to do. At first glance, one would assume that this was printed after Strife chose to no longer be considered a straight edge band with the release of their "Angermeans" album but this is actually from 1997 when they were straight...

A belated post on hitting the big 4-0

Hello everyone,Jake here with another personal post. I turned 40 last month (August 12) and I contemplated doing a personal post on that day but ultimately decided against it. However, it's been quite a while since I've actually written anything of my own for this webzine/blog, so I figured that I'd do that now.Even though my actual involvement in the hardcore scene in general is very limited now and confined almost exclusively to the internet, I am still VERY grateful to be involved in it. Music is by far my #1 passion in life and I am especially...
