Posted by XhcnoirX | File under : Germany, Springwater
Here's a release which was requested in the 'Requests and Reposts' box on the righthandside of this blog. Springwater was a German metalcore band and this MCD was released on Unsubmissive Records in 2000. This would be the last release on this label while using the name Unsubmissive Records, afterwards the label renamed itself Incendiary Records and continued under that name for a while. Before this MCD Springwater did a 3-way split 7" with ...

Here's the Excessive Force - Vengeance Is Mine 7" from 1994 when they were using the alternate spelling of 'Xessive Force'. Three tracks with great production. I always loved how punchy their recordings sounded. It was perfect for their mosh laden jams.

How did you get into hardcore music?I started going to ska shows when I was like 14 and through friends I met, and mixed genre shows, I was introduced to hardcore. I came in during the era of Backside Disaster, Portland's first metal influenced hardcore band... and early on in Trial's lifespan. The intensity of mid-nineties hardcore was undeniable and super alluring for me.Have you been in any other bands besides Olde Ghost? If so, what band(s)?Yeah,...

http://www.dischord.com/fugazi_live_seriesToday, the first 130 Fugazi show recordings from 1987 to 2003 were made available to the general public on the Dischord website as part of the website's Fugazi Live Series (all 800+ Fugazi show recordings in the band's vault will eventually be released over time). This being the case, I decided to include a bit of commentary on the one and only Fugazi show that I attended at the Hollywood Palladium on 9/8/91...

6 Ft. Underground was a short-lived German veggie/vegan hardcore band from the first half of the 90s. This self-titled 7" is the only record of theirs I'm aware of. It was released by the band members themselves in 1995. Pretty decent mix between old school/melodic hardcore and more 'new school' hardcore, including a 'Meat Free Youth' anthem. Members also played in a number of other bands such as Universal a.k.a. The Mental Toilet, Diavolo...

As you may recall, I remastered the Unorthodox cd a while ago, but the fine gentleman at Bitter Melody Records has taken it the extra mile by having the recording remastered from the master tapes and repressing it on vinyl. He went the extra mile by producing two color versions and a 180gram black vinyl version with a screen printed cover.
They are all currently available for ordering over at the Bitter Melody page on Limited Pressing, and...

Okay so it's pretty common place that since the 80s people have been printing and selling straight edge tshirts. Hell I have quite a few myself (most of which don't fit anymore but that's neither here nor there) and to be quite honest, there have been some bad but also some good. Some of these may look dated now but they were pretty hot items back then. Let's take a look back at some of the good and bad from the 90s. Please not, I have not included...

Even though America is on the brink of a double dip recession with no foreseeable end in sight, the very brave duo of New York hardcore legend Jeff Terranova and his partner Beckey Salg have recently opened Long Beach Vegan Eatery, a restaurant which specializes in all manner of vegan comfort food (as Jeff himself told me, "people still gotta eat, even in a recession"). If you live in the Southern California area or if you ever find yourself there,...

Discuss your new film, Wyatt Earp and the Holy Grail: The Tale of the Three Gates.EJ: Wyatt Earp and the Holy Grail: The Tale of the Three Gates (WEATHG: TTOTTG) is a look at humankind's relationship to the elements which surround them. Oftentimes, these elements encroach on them in a way that is not normal. WEATHG: TTOTTG attempts to explore this as well as study how a man who is lost ultimately finds himself. It's a big story, which is why there are two more films coming, which will bring the total length of the series to 3 hours.JN: Yes,...

HAPPY EDGE DAY!From the Revelation Records Vimeo:This is what we could salvage of the documentary "EDGE DAY 2000: The Last Show Of In My Eyes." Hope you enjoy it! Here are some words from In My Eyes' guitarist, Anthony Pappalardo:For the entire existence of In My Eyes there were always three words used to describe us that made us cringe: Youth Crew Revival. Most 'zines that were covering Snapcase and Chamberlain would mention we were "great at being a Youth Crew Revival band" and it drove me fucking insane. The Youth Crew was Youth of Today's crew,...

Here we have a video of newly signed Mercury Records' recording artists The Gaslight Anthem covering the former Revelation Records' recording artists Farside song "I Hope You're Unhappy". Now, major label bands covering songs by indie label bands (even hardcore bands) is, of course, nothing new. However, I felt that this particular case warranted a post due to the fact that Farside are from my beloved hometown of Orange County, California and singer/guitarist Popeye has been a good friend to my brother and me for 20 years this year. Oh yeah,...

Posted by XhcnoirX | File under : Stampin' Ground, UK hardcore
Formed in 1995 and quitting in 2006, Stampin' Ground was one of the biggest UK metalcore bands, not to mention one of the best metalcore bands to come out of the UK period, or even Europe as a whole IMHO. Their self-titled MCD on We Bite Records from 1996 compiles the first 2 7"s of this band, the 'Dawn Of Night' 7" on Days Of Fury Records and the 'Starved' 7" on Too Damn Hype Records. Both these 7"s were recorded at the same recording session...
