BROWN SUGAR/HOUNDS OF HATE/CRUDDY/MOMS @ STRANGE MATTER

we're (MOMS) playing a few dates at the end of november with Brown Sugar, some hardcore freaks from up north. Raleigh on the 28th and Richmond on the 29th. Should be a helluva show. Brown Sugar just put out an LP recently that i've yet to hear but the deportation ep was a ripper. Hounds of Hate is northeastern straightedge hc w/ members of Pissed Jeans, CREEM, and Natural Law.  Cruddy... post-punk/hardcore? i don't know too much about these fellas. they're from Texas. MOMS should be dropping another tape at this show so pick that sumbitch up, not to mention we're making a few more of the last one. if you didn't snag one of those (which is pretty likely, we only made 20) hit that up as well.

YOUTH OF TODAY - BREAK DOWN THE WALLS

shit on it all you want. i'm not edge but it's been one of those months where the people in my life are falling over constantly, acting the fool, falling apart etc. think i need a change (not to say i'm changing my habits, just that i need to distance myself from those who can't control their own)

Kriegshog - Hardcore Hell EP and S/T LP (2007/2010, Black Seed Asia Records)

My boy Connor Mullins slammed out this review for a failed attempt at a zine a few months ago. rage on Connor


Holy. Fuck. Kriegshog seizes the utterly lifeless body of the contemporary crust punk dream and revives it by jamming a gigavolt of raw, raging hate up its ass. It’s no secret that many if not most crust bands write records with the intent of composing a soundtrack to the apocalypse. But these records ARE the fucking apocalypse. The sole critique I have of this LP is that a scarce handful of the tracks can be a tad repetitive, but given the genre, a flaw as typical as this almost isn’t even worth mentioning. I usually find myself feeling discontent when I listen to most people’s description of this band, because merely classifying this as “Crust” or “D-beat” really doesn’t do justice to the intricate and refined yet chaotic and cacophonous sound these dudes have developed. To say tracks like “Mutation” and “Burn” along with most of the rest of them on this collection do anything but utterly bludgeon the listeners sympathies for all the thinly-veiled heinous and depraved activity of the fucked up world we live in would be a gross understatement. No matter how loud you blast these records, it will never, ever, be loud enough.

Swag.
