Fuckheads - 2011 Summer Tour Tape

Artist: Fuckheads
Title: 2011 Summer Tour Tape
Release: 2011
Label: self released

1. Lion
2. Sit Around
3. Grinder
4. Traitor
5. Choke
6. Empty

This has been sitting in my tape player for a while now. I just never got around to ripping it until recently.

Fuckheads are from Boston and play crazy distorted noise in the same vein as D-Clone. Their longest song is a minute and 13 seconds so they never even come close to breaking the two minute rule. You'll either love this or think it shouldn't even be considered music.

Masakari - Sleep // Rot

Artist: Masakari
Title: Sleep // Rot
Release: 2011
Label: self released

Track List:
1. Sleep
2. Rot

I would have posted this sooner but I still use my parent's house as my mailing address. I've probably mentioned before that I love Masakari. If I haven't I'm saying it now. They're as bad ass live as they are recorded.

This record is sadly only one sided with a mere two songs. One very short, the other a little longer, but both awesome. The B side is blank with some cool art silk screened on it.

I just saw this posted on another blog but the download link was to scene release forum where download links are password protected or try and trick you into some sort of bullshit subscription. Fuck that.

5 tracks of noisy hardcore from Nagoya City and Portland. Great stuff on both sides. I really hope they have copies of this at Chaos in Tejas.

Nightburner - Demo

Artist: Nightburner
Title: Demo
Release: 2011
Label: self released

Track List:
1. Not on My Block
2. Bullshit
3. Summer
4. Do the Right Thing
5. Two Worlds

This is so fresh it doesn't even have cover art.

I've made it a mission of sorts to try and track down some of the current lesser known hardcore bands from the midwest. Chicago's Nightburner is one of the better ones I've found so far. This demo is nothing out of the ordinary these days, but it's pretty darn good for what it is. Fast, angry, distorted hardcore.

The band posted this on their blog in 32-bit wave format and as one giant mp3 of unknown quality. I took the liberty of reducing the bit-depth to 16-bits (LAME will only work with 16-bit wave files), splitting the tracks, and encoding them as separate mp3s for your convenience. Just a warning though, this clips out a fair amount and is LOUD. Like REALLY loud. I just got done listening to it four times and my ears hurt.

Criaturas - Arañas en el Corazon

Artist: Criaturas
Title: Arañas en el Corazon
Release: 2011
Label: Lengua Armada Discos

Track List:
1. Arañas en el Corazon
2. Mentiras
3. Paranoide
4. Sombras Ocultas

Coming from Austin, Texas, Criaturas is female fronted Spanish d-beat hardcore. Members were in Filthy Fuckers, Bastard Sons of Apocalypse, Vaaska, Deskonocidos, Severed Head of State, Storm the Tower, J Church, Signal Lost, Scorched Earth Policy, Kodiak, and Meadowlark. Pretty awesome pedigree there. And it shows on this record.

I must admit, I hate the artwork though. I fucking loathe spiders.

Their bass player has a fantastic distro, from which I bought some of the records posted on this blog. As usual, if you like this you should definitely hit the dude up and order a copy.
