The always awesome Path To Misery blog used to have a massive collection of 90s vegan metalcore downloads... The link eventually expired tho, as these sorts of things have a habit of doing. But AJ who runs PTM stepped up the plate and re-upped everything once again! So from Abnegation to Wrath Of Nature with a few vsxe comps thrown in as well, it's all there again. Make sure you check it out here! And here's the kicker: he even recorded a sweet...

At the time of this show, Earth Crisis were out touring for the recently released Breed The Killers album.  I can't remember if Hatebreed dropped off of just this show, or the entire tour, but they definitely didn't play on this night. ...

This three way split CD, featuring Watership Down, LIGHT and Chalkline came out on Primrose Records in 1997.  If you've never heard this split, you might remember Watership Down from their 7" on Immigrant Sun, and Chalkline from their releases on Shandle Records.  Although I don't have a copy, it appears that LIGHT also released a CD on Uprising Records.

I recently got together with my old friend Adam to hang out for a few with our kids, and he handed me a stack of late 90s Portland videos that I didn't already have.  Virtually any hardcore video you see from Portland between 1997 and 1999 was filmed by him. Let's start with Trial and Avail at Stage 4 Theater on May 16th, 1998.  I have no memory of the opening bands, but this show was pretty nuts during both Trial's and Avail's sets. ...

By now, I'm sure just about everyone has heard the Walter Sings The Hits version of Start Today, in which Walter Schreifles laid out some vocal tracks for Civ to get familiar with before he was to go in and track vocals himself.  The rest of the story goes that Civ recorded this vocal track while Walter was on tour in Europe with Youth Of Today.  Upon his return, Walter wasn't super into this more melodic take on the vocals, so Civ re-recorded...

With the recent news that Bullet Tooth will be releasing a completely remastered Overcast discography soon, it seemed like an appropriate time to drag out an old tape to post.  There aren't any details as to just how deep this discography package will delve, but hopefully it can help bring such a great band into the spotlight they've always deserved. One studio demo pre-dates this live demo tape, but I have never actually seen or heard...

I've been on the hunt for video of this show for years, and last week, I finally acquired it through an old friend.  With Falling Action, Backside Disaster, Crosstide and Stillmode, it's a great mix of late 90s hardcore and emo sounds.  It took place at the Under 21 Club in Anderson, CA, which is just a bit outside of Redding on August 22nd, 1998. Stillmode Crosstide Backside Disaster Falling Action ...

11/25/95 at the Showcase Theater in Corona, CA was both Mean Season's final show (I wish I had video of it), and Unbroken's next to last show, as they would play one more in San Diego the following night.  I had two videos of this set, and one had much better sound and picture quality than the other, but the superior video was also missing the first song, so I just compiled the two together. ...

Jeff Jawk posted a link to it earlier so thanks to him for the heads up and a huge thanks to Eric F for uploading the original video. He has loads of stuff up so go check it out...on a side note, the shirt the band sold at this show is the only ExC shirt I am missing from the early era.

20+ years ago I was given a great soundboard recording of  Zero Tolerance labeled "ZT Toronto 1990" I dubbed it for a few friends and kind of forgot about it. A few years ago, I misplaced said tape and recently my friend Bill came to the rescue with the dub I had made for him. Larry Ransom (another friend I dubbed the tape for in '94) and I were trading emails discussing the recording and he surmised that though the copy I had back in the day...

A few years ago our buddy at Pins & Needles Zine started a band called killtraitors with their main influences being Harvest and Torn Apart. They recorded two demos that have just been sitting around so they were kind enough to send them our way. Hopefully there will be some more news of an album in the future.  Here are the links to their 5 song demos: killtraitors - dead weight killtraitors - been called worse by b...

411 was a band  that was a slice of a little something different in the early 90's. During their brief existence, they spit out a equally brief 7" and an incredible 12". With the impending 411 discography release, I asked singer Dan O'Mahoney if he'd mind cluing us in on how the band formed and how their great debut 7" came to be. He agreed and I couldn't be happier with all the stuff he provided for the piece. Dan currently fronts Done Dying,...

S.O.B. first took shape in 1983, and were known for being one of the premiere bands for bringing the speed of thrash to hardcore.  They gained extra notoriety in 1990 when they did a split 7" with Napalm Death.  The influence that the two bands had on one another can be easily heard on both band's albums during the early 90s. A while back, I bought a bunch of tapes from a friend, and in that lot was this S.O.B. - Studio Session...

Envy were a great mid 90's straight edge band from Buffalo, NY. I had the pleasure of being friends with some of the guys, played with them(with Halfmast and No Reason) as well as booking them a few times. I always loved their pre-LP demo and recalled that it was initially going to be a second 7" on a west coast label. I couldn't remember the specifics, so I reached out to Larry Ransom, who sang for Envy, and he took the time to write a little...

 While waiting in line at a local thrash/ death metal show in the winter on 1990, I bought a 7” by local Buffalo, NY hardcore band Against All Hope. I thought it was pretty cool and listened to it quite a bit over the coming months. The following summer of '91, I finally was able to catch them live and they were WAY better than that 7”. The line up I saw at that show had Jay Galvin on bass and Scott Vogel on drums, both of whom were also in Slugfest....
