Gypsy – Giant’s DespairPosted on 08.05.12 by PimI know not everyone will agree, but I for one love the fact you see more and more bands playing this kinda style. Let's party like it's 1991, 1992, or...

Pennywise – All Or NothingPosted on 03.05.12 by PimAll Or Nothing made Pim think of his days of checking out endless lists of bands. That and the Offspring.

Authority Zero – Stories Of SurvivalPosted on 02.05.12 by xroldxThe biggest setback about Stories Of Survival is that it sounds very outdated.

Groezrock 2012: can I scream?Posted on 01.05.12 by xroldxThe top and bottom of Groezrock 2012. Terror vs Refused, Verse going Jah and many stage-dives for Gorilla Biscuits.

Shipwrecked – The Last PagansPosted on 28.04.12 by xroldxShipwrecked is as conservative as hardcore can get, but it's refreshing to hear a band that goes back to the roots and do it as well as these 4 last...

No – NoPosted on 26.04.12 by The Invisible GuyWith plentiful of rock-influences, garage, classic punk and crust - the mystical band No from London introduces me to a world of hurt.

Animal Instinct – Unfinished BusinessPosted on 24.04.12 by The Invisible GuyWhile being bored to death, what would suit you more well than an excellent piece of oldschool sounding hardcore?
