Rebel Spies! - Before I Die I Shall Destroy The Rebel Spies!

Blogspot

Jeff from the mighty Michigan Graveyard not only has an awesome blog,but also a new awesome band. Rebel Spies just released their debut EP and i'm glad to be able to share it here.

"Tell the guys in REBEL SPIES! their music reminds you of 7 SECONDS, AVAIL, BAD RELIGION or DAG NASTY and they’ll unabashedly thank you. No one here is trying to reinvent the wheel! These guys play hardcore punk, with a sincerity that you can feel in every song. A band member pedigree that includes the SUICIDE MACHINES, HELLMOUTH, FORDIRELIFESAKE, HIFI HANDGRENADES and TELEGRAPH; they just want say thank you to the music for all they have gotten from it. REBEL SPIES! is their love letter to hardcore and punk. Dedicated to preserving the "loud, fast rules," their mission is to create music for new kids, and for those that remember the glory days of old. So whether you like to slam dance, stage dive, or just sing along, the pit is now open!"

Adult Crash - Unfinished Business EP

"On Unfinished Business, their debut 12” EP, Adult Crash plays a powerful brand of hardcore, with the dramatic, rhythmic build-ups of Bl’ast!, the concrete-thick guitar work of SS Decontrol, the blunt vocal delivery of early Agnostic Front, and some left-of-center thrash flourishes a’la Septic Death. Far more than just a Frankenstein monster of well-tread influences, Adult Crash has a seamless, naturally flowing sound that can only come from veterans who have truly internalized the craft of hardcore songwriting. Featuring a cadre of San Diego/Chula Vista HC veterans, including Tim Gonzalez of Amenity and House of Suffering, Adult Crash has the credentials and musicianship to convincingly deliver their unique sonic onslaught in spades. Mandatory listening for all true believers in the HC arts."

Wako Fuck - Eliminate Culture EP

Myspace

Not exactly a new band but support to a new label delivering Wako Fuck's final 12''.

"Final 12” EP from North County San Diego’s ferocious HC stalwarts Waco Fuck. Distilling the Totalitar and Napalm Death obsessed ultracore of their earlier output into a more powerful, midpaced assault, Eliminate Culture weaves deftly through Scandinavian-derived thrashings, violent dirges, infectious, Rudimentary Peni style riffing, and the hard hitting SoCal traditions of Battalion of Saints and the like. If you have an ear for forward thinking, well played hardcore bound by neither cliché nor pretension, Eliminate Culture is for you."
