New Stuff from Katorga Works
Western Massachusetts' Hoax return after an ear splitting demo with four more bullets straight through the brain in the form of a 7" debut. Gritty production, abrasive vocals, and thunderous percussion congeal together to create an absolute calamity of an EP. If you were into their first tape, this is an absolute must as far as polluting the airwaves in your immediate locale. Four songs in five minutes, you already know what to expect.
This sold out quickly from Katorga Works but Deranged still has some copies available so snatch those up before all of the vinyl heads flock quicker than locusts to a fruit tree.

Buy from Deranged Records
Merchandise returns from humid, sun drenched Tampa, Florida with their latest head scratching musical effort, this time as a split release between Katorga and Drugged Conscience. Blending elements of post-punk, fuzzed out rock, and gritty pop, they create an intoxicating cocktail of tuneage unlike most bands circulating the scene these days. I was pretty psyched on the unusual vibe and surprising songwriting on their first two tapes, and (Strange Songs) In the Dark finds a comfortable home in a similar vein.
This is also sold out from Katorga, but definitely pick this up (as well as the Neon Blud LP) from Drugged Conscience before they're sold out. (Note: this is not a hardcore record, try something different.)

Tear it Up Reunion Shows
New Jersey's own Tear it Up will be getting together for a pair of reunion shows to celebrate the reissue of their heralded Nothing to Nothing LP on Six Feet Under Records. It's been years since the band called it quits, leaving a gaping hole in the New Jersey hardcore scene which has ached for a band of their influence since their departure (at least for me). Locals; feel free to howl in delight, as both shows will be in the area, with one in Brooklyn and the other in Kearny, NJ. Full details are below via the promoters:
HARDCORE GIG VOLUME # 149
TEAR IT UP - Reunion, Nothing To Nothing line up
LAST IN LINE - Hardcore Punk Western Massholes, Reunion

Further Expansion
In addition to Halifax Collect, I'm going to be posting some reviews and rips on Alec's blog, New Fits. Please check it out when you get a chance, as he posts more downloads than I'm really able to. The first one is a favorite of mine from "back in the day" that was partially responsible for piquing my interest in hardcore and punk. Don't miss out. Listening and reading pleasure can be found here.
