BIG KIDS Hoop Dreams [RM8]
IN DEFENCE/PARTY BY THE SLICE split 7″ EP (Berzerker/Crash Assailant/ Goodtimes/Insulin Addicted) [RM15]
Good luck trying to find seven inches of wax with more fun crammed into it than this split between Twin Cities tacolytes In Defence and Milwaukee pizza-eaters Party By The Slice. Which band delivers the most fun? On “Bromophobia,” In Defence offers this line: “You’re just a boy with a cheesy mustache, Wanda Sykes is going to kick your ass.” On the flipside, Party By The Slice pairs the classic line from Romero’s Dawn of the Dead “When there’s no room left in hell, the dead will walk the earth” with “By the time they make it to the lunchroom, they’ll get their just desserts.” When you’re talking zombies, you’re talking my language.

CATHARSIS Samsara TAPE (Youth Culture Records) [RM8]
Catharsis was an influential American hardcore punk band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina that was active from 1994 to 2002. They were associated with “Holy Terror”, a phenomenon commonly regarded as a form of apocalyptic metallic hardcore that was breeding during the mid-’90s. Catharsis were also known for writing extremely lengthy songs (sometimes broken into multiple parts) with complex title names and unusual time signatures. Catharsis took appreciable influence from Integrity, Neurosis, His Hero Is Gone, Breakdown, Starkweather, Amebix, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Diamanda Galás, GISM, Refused and the early demo recordings of Belgian hardcore band, Negate. The dark, reggae-styled song, ‘Deserts Without Mirages’ on the album, Passion, is perhaps a reflection of the singer’s appreciation for Peter Tosh. The song’s lyrics also heavily borrow from the spoken word passages in the Godspeed You! Black Emperor song ‘The Dead Flag Blues’. Passion album also samples from Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man

HIT ME BACK Life CD (Refuse Records) [RM20]
This is full length-release from this Los Angeles band. After two 7’s and two split 7″s we have it here thirteen brand new songs that have more influences of more anthemic and melodic early 80’s punk and hardcore, but still with fast and thrash hardcore parts. You can expect lots of youthful expression and energy coming out of this record. Their lyrics covering personal and social issues, not forgetting about some humor and passions of the band members – skateboarding and records collecting. All the songs were recorded in LA by Craigums (What Happens Next?). CD version contains eight bonus songs. Seven of them are taken from “Only Magic School Bus Goes Back In Time” 7″ep (including Heresy cover) and one coming from the same session, previously never released.

LITTLE GIRL TERRORIST demo tape [RM6]
Just like the name itself, the band’s music is unexpected, furious, sometimes subtle, intricate and yet devastating. Working hard to strip the gloss from today’s manufactured music. Little Girl Terrorist’s music is at once beautiful, complicated and yet consuming – the guitars are feverish and sweepingly frantic, punctuated by technical drums and harsh, screaming, honest vocals. Their live shows are intimate, the dancefloors are just as intense. Sing with them, scream into that microphone – they would want you to. The band is always trying to be as close to the crowd as possible, diminish the distance between stage and floor, chaos and beauty keeping their music genuine. (taken from their myspace)

ONSET OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS Oblivions EP TAPE (Rip Kids/Teriak/Happy Thrash Distro) [RM6]
Where am I going with this? Enter one of Indonesia’s best kept secrets: (unless you’ve never heard of Proletar, in which case this is the second best kept secret) Onset Of Serious Problems. This two-man destruction unit fucking grinds. They know how write proper intros. They string together crust riffs like seasoned veterans. They know how (and when) to thrash. And they’ve got plenty of double bass. All the ingredients are in place to state firmly that these guys are a grind band. But two glaring things stand out to change my mind. The first is their tone. Guitarist/Vocalist Wahyu uses a tone that distinctly “sounds” like the brand of punk that evolved into mid-90’s powerviolence. The second element comes from the vocals. Wahyu screams his lungs out like an Indonesian Issac from ManMadePredator era Leng Tch’e. The EP is seven songs in eight minutes. Considering it’s a mini CD from a band I’ve never heard of on a label I’m unfamiliar with, I’d say the production is stellar. In true EP fashion, track one, Mass Obliteration, sets the tone with a brief and familiar instrumental intro. This builds up through three different drum beats and then the Onset begins. OOSP never mess around when it comes to riffs. They seem to be always changing. Some are brought back later in a song, or exchanged verse-chorus-verse style, but nothing sticks around long enough to wear out its welcome. The drumming from Bondie follows along, constantly changing up between punk/thrash, blast and double bass. It’s an old punk’s dream come true. Those non punk, non-powerviolence fans among us might be a little bothered by what could be considered monotonous vocals. Anyone demanding variation in this regard will be disappointed. Those of you who can look past this will be duly rewarded. I absolutely love it. If Wahyu ever figures out a death growl, look out world. Either way, this is a band that with a bright future.

BETERCORE YouthcrustDiscography!! CD (Karatekore/Sxetan) [RM10]
