Dark Ages - Vicious Lie 7" (2009)

It's been a while since i've posted on the blog.
I'll try to update it a lil bit more often.

Got a few books in the last weeks, but the reading speed has been quite slow.
Not much news on the music side, well, at least none that hasn't already been posted somewhere on the internet.

Here's a new treat for you all.

Dark Ages - Vicious Lie EP


Oh man, i almost forgot about how great the 2008 demo was! Finally some new stuff, and it's great.

Coke Bust - Lines In The Sand

Good folks at B Music put up the last record by DC's Coke Bust about a week ago, but i've just gave it a good listen today.

You should know them by now, if you don't check it. Fast stuff, ala Heresy.



"After a 7" and demo, Washington, DC's reigning masters of thrashing hardcore have finally hit the studio to record a full-length of no holds barred, old-school hardcore punk, bringing intelligence to straight edge hardcore that is played at lightning speed, channeling the spirits of bands like SSD, Deep Wound and Youth Of Today."

Deep Sleep - Paranoid Futures 7"

Deep Sleep are back with a new EP on Grave Mistake.

Description on the Cowabunga! Records webstore:

"The 3rd EP from Baltimore's Deep Sleep. Pretty much a step up/continuation from the Manic Euphoria EP, which was a lot more ALL/Big Drill Car influenced and even later Descendents influenced if you will but it remained a hardcore punk record none the less, still with that subtle Adolescents/early White Flag worship going on all the way beneath the surface like they've hinted at on their past 2 EP's. Well, they continue that on this record and the ALL/.BDC inf is up another notch so mid 80's fans of SST will no doubt enjoy these nor will fans of the other 2 EP's. Good stuff still from these veteran Baltimore punks."

Government Warning new songs/ EURO TOUR

Just a while ago a friend of mine told me that GW added some new songs on their myspace profile, so, as an avid fan, i quickly rushed to myspace to see what was it all about.

Man, their shit keeps getting better and better, can't really wait to hear both the new EP and the 2-track single they'll be releasing soon.

What sucks in all of this is that they're now coming here, to Europe, and there's no chance i can see them perform. Not only won't they come to Portugal (not that if i was expecting them to come...really, nobody comes here) but it's getting closer and closer to the end of school, so, i'm getting a lot of shit to be done in a couple of weeks. But, more importantly, there's nobody else interesting in making like +1000km to Barcelona to check them out with Wasted Time and some cool spanish bands (Insomnio and some other i do not know).

Maybe next time...

Formaldehyde Junkies

Damn, while browsing my old computer (while my current one is kind of fucked up) i've came across Formaldehyde Junkies mp3 i had in there.

The Total Wreck EP is surely one of the best hardcore records i've heard, ever. The speed, the anger, the crazyness and the relentless pounding on your eardrums makes this record a early century gem. Oh, make sure to hear both the Demo and the S/T Ep, they (obviously) fucking rule too!



Hit the blogs for the mp3, they won't be hard to get.
