Walls - 2010 Tour 7"

I bought this at that Mind Eraser / Slang show too. Surprisingly, Jensen of Iron Lung HQ was filling in on drums for Mind Eraser so he had all of his shit for sale as well. Walls finally offer some new rippers after touring off those two 12"s for almost the past two years. This single has two new downer, Rorschach-esque, savage slammers and a delightful cover of the great Midwest USHC champions, Die Kreuzen. Very nice screened covers on this record too. This is only available on tour directly from the band. I expect many more exciting things from Walls, and the already empirical Iron Lung label.

Warning//Warning - My World 7"

If you haven't heard the Warning//Warning demo of last year yet, please get yer head out of yr ass. I'm kind of confused by this band though...They're from France, but sing in English, but have Japanese song titles/printed lyrics. I don't think anyone in this band is from Japan either, "Fabro, Nico, Olive, and Fish" all sound pretty frenchie to me. I also don't know if they're just a bunch of French hipsters that discovered recordings sound 'cool' if you set up a recorder in a tin-can across the room combined with delayed vocals, and somehow got a cool graphic designer to punk-out all their artwork. Whatever. Who cares. This shit is great. Total Japanese noisecore worship, in the vein of bands like Tranquilizer, Confuse, Coward etc. Classic "broken english" styled lyrics and killer wah-pedal effects too. I guess some of these dudes were in that french raw-punk band Gasmask Terror. Hope this guys head to the states soon. The first track is titled in Japanese text, but, I obviously don't know Japanese, or where to find those stupid characters on the internet, so deal with it. You can download their demo and new cassingle at their fancy website. Contact the band for a copy. warningwarning[at]riseup.net. Enjoy.

Ecoli - Swarm On The Swine 7"

Three new cuts from these Bay Area freaks. Weirdest recordings so far from Ecoli. Taking their sound to a whole new level of filthy, unrelenting innovation. Some real creepy crawly lyrics on here too, "Melting meat globs released, dirty puddles of feces". Sadly this EP is short, I wish there were at least 3 more tracks on here. Still quite fantastic though. If you liked Ecoli's previous recordings, be sure to pick this papi up. Brought to you by Stress Domain Records. Don't miss these surfin' California hotties on tour, that's on the road right now.

The A-Team - Clusterfuck 7"

Some essential early 2000's Boston HC right for yas. One of the more under-rated/under-listened bands of that era, the A-TEAM. This shit is the REAL DEAL and just plain hard. Also probably one of the best cuts of the early 00's. Killer riffs, crucial mosh parts, and some nasty hooks, making this 7" a true "no slow all go" masterpiece. If any record could amount to heroin or something...this might be it. I'd been meaning to listen to this band for so long and could never find copies off or online, but finally snagged a copy of off ebay recently, so here it is. This is also Painkiller 001. Rip it up.

Sorry Excuse - Listen With Prejudice 7"

Another batch of sweet grooves from the seemingly most bleak area east of the rockies: Kansas City. SorryxExcuse hammer though 8 straight edge dazzlers in exactly 5 minutes. Sorry Excuse bring a step forward in HC2k10, tossing out any hint of top 40 HC bullshit or the mystery punk burden, but bringing back the ravaging speed and energy of the Repos with the hard mosh rules from the Lockin' Out empire. Half these dogs also jam with No Class. Shoot yourself in the foot if you missed their little east coast excursion a few weeks ago. This is the just the tour version, got dis at their gig in Chicago a few weeks ago, regular copies are yet to be available. Peep ThirdxParty records till the record gets it's proper release, maybe contact them for some extra tour copies. Killer stuff all around here.

Fourteen or Fight - S/T 7"

The Chicago hardcore 7" of the 2000's is right here. Fourteen or fucking Fight! Raging, raw, straight forward hardcore with catchy hooks & tasteful pinches of melody while still staying aggressive and capturing the 80s USHC style. Probably best known for doing the split with the Repos, but sadly get hardly any attention beyond that. The band started as ex-Charles Bronson/MK-Ultra, now these dudes are still shredding in bands like Manipulation, Herds, Chronic Siezure RIP. This Lengua Armada hit has been out of the press for quite some time, good luck finding this gem. A true classic.

Condominium - Gag 7"

The 4th vinyl offering slung by the monumental Condominium. Another single to add on to their growing empire of triumphant releases. The record starts with 7 minute epic jangle "Gag", then leads to the hard hitting squall, "Redemption Song", not unlike the hit of their last 7", "Barricade". Then the record ends with a rattling instrumental track that could be taken right off Death In June's - The Guilty Have No Pride. Another excellent effort by this Minneapolis (now) trio. Released by Deer Healer Records, head over to their catalog for purchase, not many copies left. This is not to miss.

Operation Makeout - Hang Loose

Here's an awesome band that I've rediscovered in a big bad way the past couple weeks. I first found out about Operation Makeout a few years ago when I was first getting heavy into Sleater-Kinney and wanted to find something akin to them. And yes they do sound a lot like S-K, but one thing they do not have that this band does is some great dueling male/female vocals at times reminiscent of X. It seems that people have pretty much forgotten about them (if they even bothered to learn in the first place) which is a shame because a lot of people are missing out on some catchy tunes.
