Last Sunday August 12, From Ashes Rise, Victims, Death First, Stockpile, and Sickoids broke off a very special This Is Hardcore Fest after-show in honor of local Philadelphia promoter Greg Daly's 34th birthday. Local d-beat practitioners Sickoids and Stockpile, who both share Witch Hunt's ex-drummer, gave the early-comers a blast of adrenaline to kick off the night. NYC's Death First put in a impassioned performance with their trademark blend of d-beat-meets-NYC-hardcore. For those who did not get in on This Is Hardcore Fest 2011 tickets in time, Sweden's Victims, along with Portland's legendary crust punk outfit From Ashes Rise, brought the house down in Philadelphia for the second time in one day. We're sure both bands slept well ...

Having maintained a prolific outpouring of material for well over a decade, the long-time three piece, recently added a second guitarist before recording their latest full-length, A Dissident, which drops tomorrow (4/12/11), via Tankcrimes, DeathwishInc, and La Familia Records. A Dissident hits in all the right spots, with tracks that range from punk-rock, gang-vocal-ridden anthems, to aggressive, d-beat masterpieces, and glimpses of old-school metal with blazing solos. It's only April, and we already have a definite contender for "Album of The Year." Blow The Scene Editor, ...

Tankcrimes kicks ass. For this music connoisseur, it simply doesn't get much better. DIY-to-the-core, this West Coast phenomena appeases the unholy gods of shred and keeps the American punk rock dream alive like only a rare few can. Many a record needle has been worn down thanks to the hands on effort of label-head Scotty Heath who brought legendary releases to your front door from the likes of Annihilation Time, Vitamin X, Voetsek, Toxic Holocaust, Victims, and even Cannabis Corpse, to name a few. The now infamous DIE HARD editions of select LPs from Tankcrimes include hand-screen printed poly bags, gatefold jackets, and inserts. A vinyl ...
