Stream: FBA - 2012 Demo

6 tracks of br000tal dropped down female fronted powa violence to beat your head with. Katie Chavez from Sea Lions is seen singing on this release. Since the release of this demo they have gone through a few line-up changes and have a new singer, but these FBA tracks are definitely still not tracks you should ever sleep on.

Stream: Old Neck - EP

Old Neck is a Santa Barbara based Hardcore band with members with some unique influences/sounds going for them. This EP demo features soundclips, obscure sounds, odd tempo sequences, and things that you often don't hear in hardcore while still containing the heaviness prevalently found in hardcore. These dudes are also fun to play with!

Stream: Constant Struggle - Death Obsessed

11 tracks of in your face LA based Hardcore. I had to the good joy to play a few shows with this band a few times with my old group Violent Americans, these dudes were always fun to play with! They're signed to Irish Voodoo Records and definitely in my opinion have shaped their sound on this record compared to their past demo's and releases. Expect more stuff from Constant Struggle in 2014!

Stream: Holy - The Age of Collapse

I saw this band at the Hard to Find in Goleta earlier this year with Punch and damn these Italian dudes definitely are one of my current favorites in "hardcore". Read the lyrics too and memorize that shit because the next chance you get to see Holy you'll know what I mean. And if you're a person who already is into anything straight edge and vegan then you have no excuse especially!

Stream: Hoax - LP

"Western Massachusetts' HOAX presents their highly anticipated self-titled, self-released 12 song debut LP. After a relentless string of EP's and tours, this release marks a new standard in DIY hardcore punk. Taking their pummeling, mid-tempo sound and expanding it into something far sicker and hideous, they have leveled the horizon with a series of anthems as you've never heard before. A huge collaborative effort masterfully engineered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air studios, this LP features contributions from 14 of the underground's finest artists and comes housed in a full-color, double-scored folder enclosing 6 double-sided poster sized inserts."

14 tracks in 2 songs from CV's newest for your listening pleasure here!, never have I heard songs that capture the essence of punk hardcore with the the ambient gaze of Chelsea Wolfe perhaps with a scab bite of melodic hardcore and a melody of metal-y riffs! I can only imagine what possible release this up & coming Chula Vista band will be delivering with this wonderful gallop of modern hardcore for us to feast our eyes on physically.
