Good Luck – Without HesitationPosted on 01.03.12 by PimGood Luck is not the kinda band for everyone (but then again, what band is?), but according to Pim 'Without Hesitation' is a pretty great record.

Backfire! – My Broken WorldPosted on 29.02.12 by Deadpool'My Broken World' is that friend who has grown a little bit more older, bitter and frustrated but still is great to hang out with.

Enforcers – End Of TimePosted on 28.02.12 by McKeeCanada's Enforcers feature A Death For Every Sin members and play stripped down NY style HC with more than a casual nod to Metallica.

The Menzingers – On The Impossible PastPosted on 25.02.12 by xroldxI know it's early in the year but I doubt if there will be another song that can compete for the title punkrock song of the year.
-
Craig Finn – Clear Heart, Full EyesPosted on 24.02.12 by xroldxThe music is less intense and sharp than that of The Hold Steady, yet Finn never goes for the whole acoustic approach.
-
Weak Teeth – What A Plague You ArePosted on 21.02.12 by xroldxIt's kind of like they took Verse and put them in a dark room with Left For Dead or The Swarm.
-
Yog – Half the SkyPosted on 20.02.12 by MauriceYog is from Switzerland and plays precise Math-Grind with some hardcore punk thrown in. Fans of early mathcore should take notice.

Templeton Pek – Slow Down For NothingPosted on 19.02.12 by xroldxThe next punk band to fill stadiums and land deals with some car company, soda that tastes like urine and a shoe brand. Plus of course dating page 3 girls.
-
Disengage – ExpressionsPosted on 18.02.12 by xroldxA 3rd wave of youth crew seems to be far away but as long as there is one quality release each year I'm not complaining.

Depatures – Green Turns To Red, Then Turns To GoldPosted on 17.02.12 by CanonizedI guess my only main criticism of this seven inch would be that clocking in at only seven and a half minutes, it sort of feels like it takes the band most...

Unholy Majesty 7″Posted on 15.02.12 by CanonizedRising from the barren wastes of Margate comes the sound of unadulterated evil committed to a record in the form of Unholy Majesty.

Anti-Flag – The General StrikePosted on 14.02.12 by xroldxThe General Strike is not a real surprise to anyone who heard Anti-Flag before, nor will it be the release to gain a whole legion of new activists.
-
We Are The Doctors – Take Your MedsPosted on 13.02.12 by PimAll in all this record could have done with about 13 songs less. But I hope they had fun recording it.
-
Troubled Coast – I’ve Been Thinking About Leaving YouPosted on 11.02.12 by xroldxIf bands like Touche Amore, La Dispute and Make Do And Mend aren't your thing, chances that you'll enjoy Troubled Coast are less than zero.
-
Iron To Gold – Soultraveler 7″Posted on 10.02.12 by Jean-PaulIf this is what the future of hardcore looks like, I'm beyond stoked.
-
Junior Bruce – The Headless KingPosted on 09.02.12 by McKeeFrom the ashes of Bloodlet and Hope & Suicide comes Junior Bruce, getting straight down to business with some Florida stoner greatness.
-
Young English – I Hate My FriendsPosted on 07.02.12 by xroldxI can be very short about this one: annoying, boring and just not good enough. I'll go as far and say even that last Get Up Kids record is better than...

Unveil – A Flame With Nothing To Feed OnPosted on 03.02.12 by NabI expected Unveil's new songs to be good, but I didn't expect them to make a really great LP altogether. With such a debut LP, Unveil clearly has the...
