Thieves Hours feature former members of countless NW bands, including Harkonen, Playing Enemy, Hardesty, Champion, Himsa, Cephied, Stay Gold and more.
The band is still unapologetic in holding down the straight edge, but taking cues from a number of influences, most notably things from the 90's.
 Here's a demo track recorded at practice:

This "discography" contains both of ICE's 7" EPs, their cover of Quiet Riot's "Metal Health" which appeared on the Jester Records 7" compilation Bus Vol. 1 - A Southern California Compilation and "To All My Friends" which appeared on the Fullified Records compilation Salad Bowl Theory. The photo below is of ICE's The Incomplete Discography double 7" which came out on Slowgun Records in 2001 and consisted of the two ICE 7" EPs Making Up For Lost Time and L'Chaim, originally released on Ringside Records in 1993. Enjoy.

Orange County metalcore throwbacks Mournsingside A.D. are in a bit of a bind.
The band was sharing a practice space with a few other bands. Recently, it was decided that the space was going to be vacated, and every member of the bands needed to remove their equipment. When it came time for Mourningside to remove their drums, they were nowhere to be found.
The other bands have been asked if they know anything, and nobody seems to have an answer.
If you have any information to the drums' whereabouts, please contact letsstarttoday@sbcglobal.net

The future of the band hinges on the retrieval of the drums. Without them, the band will not carry on.

Even though he's technically an '80s hardcore guy, it's damn near impossible to envision the '90s hardcore scene without the indelible influence of singer/frontman Dave Smalley and his work in '80s hardcore staples DYS and Dag Nasty. As a fan of Mr. Smalley for a quarter of a century this year, I couldn't be happier that the man has recently made his triumphant return to the stage with DYS reunion shows as well as upcoming shows with ALL and his longtime band Down By Law. Additionally, according to the video below, it appears that there might be another Dag Nasty record on the horizon as well! I encourage all of you to "like" the Dave Smalley and Punk Rock Days pages on Facebook to be kept up to speed on all of these and many other upcoming Smalley happenings.

Outrage from the north of Belgium (not to be confused with the numerous other bands with the same name) was a socio-political hardcore band. They were heavily into the DIY philosophy and released their 7"s themselves and distributed them thru their own distro, Day One. These are also the only records of theirs that I'm aware of. The first one, 'Between Brackets', was released in 1996 and the catalog number is 'OUT #001'. The second, 'To Terrorize Ear And Mind', was released in 1997 and the catalog number is 'RAGE #001'. The only other record they self-released that I know of, is the Vuur/Seein' Red split 7", Vuur being a band formed by members of Outrage (and various other bands), and Seein' Red being a Dutch hardcore, also politically very outspoken (and still around). I've not seen this band a lot live, but I did play a show with them with my old band (in Oirschot, the Netherlands, organized by a friend of mine who now lives in Malaysia) and they were damn good live, intense and passionate. Lyrically they tackled various issues ranging from vegetarianism/animal cruelty to hypocritical attitudes within their local scene to the responsibilities of being a parent. Their 7"s also come with explanations for the lyrics, something which I can always appreciate. Members went on to bands such as Vuur and Crimson Falls. Anyways, this band was great and definitely deserves more attention. So check out these 7"s, both are awesome. The 'Between Brackets' 7" also comes with a few flyers, so I've scanned those in as well.

From kristakhelps.wordpress.com:

Hey, I was trying to think of a way I can help without a website, simplest answer to me was E-mail! I am going to start randomly, but not too frequently to the point of annoyance, send emails to those that sign up for my “newsletter.” The contents will consist of booking links, photography links, venues, screen printing companies, etc.

I can’t share this info if no one signs up! So, if you could, please post this blog entry, retweet the link and SIGN UP if this information benefits you.

Thank you in advance, I hope this helps!
