Zero Tolerance - fuel the fire
Zero Tolerance - fuel the fire-When the masses think of hardcore from Buffalo, the obvious names reoccur. But what has never been documented properly is the occulted beast known as ZERO TOLERANCE. For those around Buffalo in the late 80s/early 90s, ZERO TOLERANCE shows were THE event. They were the locals that could pull their weight amongst the nationals and the reason you showed up early. Erupting from their former band NEW BALANCE, ZERO TOLERANCE was a more furious, more intense new creature. Specializing in laconic intros, tight musicianship, intense stage presence and spiritual lyrics, ZT had the complete package to take on the world at large. ZERO TOLERANCEs recognition and impeccable street cred led them to play east coast shows with notables such as CRO-MAGS, SICK OF IT ALL and KILLING TIME and even a full US tour with SHELTER. These tours gave the burgeoning 90s hardcore scene a glimpse of Buffalo intensity and restrained madness. In the year of our Lord 2010, Reaper Records is proud to unveil, for the first time on wax, a document of a long lost classic previously only available on tape. Please accept this offering and place it in its proper place among the other giants of that era. If youve been waiting for the last two decades as we have, this is for you. If this is your first taste of ZT, youre welcome. Tracklist: 1. Back To Square One 2. Fuel The Fire 3. A Minute To Pray 4. Face The Panic 5. A Thousand Deaths -
Effort, The - wartime citizens
Effort, The - wartime citizens-From the first breaths on the opening track "Price Of Man(ipulation)" to the shrill end of the closer and title track, Wartime Citizens, THE EFFORTs most recent offering is a visceral, desperate and personal attack on the American dream. With lyrics like "We give ourselves these mindless jobs, so no one else could ever guess or know that we are all full of shit, passed by Uncle Sam himself". It is clear that EFFORT front man and lyricist Tony Auger is filled with an anger that is so perfectly captured in the poignant and timely sonic assault that this Massachusetts quintet deliver. Not even Alaskan maverick, Sarah Palin, is safe from the lash of Augers pen. The song "Dear Sarah," is an open letter posed to Sarah herself. Modern hardcore has long needed a breath of originality. The classically un-hardcore musicality that Wartime Citizens delivers is a testament to the fact that THE EFFORT is more than capable of carrying the torch in hardcores tiresome race for progression. Swift driving melody laced with elusive sharp edges, a-la DANGERS/ TOUCHE AMORE, THE EFFORTs Wartime Citizens can easily stand tall amongst both relevant contemporaries and revered predecessors. Tracklist: 1. Price Of Man(ipulation) 2. 1958 3. Our Burdens (Lost In The Continentalconstellation) 4. Theres Still Hope For You 5. Dear Sarah, 6. Occupied And Mesmerized (The Tale Of A Destabilized Life) 7. To The Top, All The Way 8. Digital Snow (Analog Sirens) 9. Made In China 10. Wartime Citizens -
Stick To Your Guns - the hope division
Stick To Your Guns - the hope division-The Hope Division is more than a new record from Stick To Your Guns. Every day our world is defeated by carelessness, ignorance, and selfishness. We cant look away from our television set that allows us all to look into the problems facing the world as a whole, yet we are still just looking. Our leaders wage war on things like drugs, terror, and poverty, yet they fail to see that these are all products of a pre-existing condition. The problem starts with the heart and magnifies into injustice from there. People all over the world suffer as a result. These songs are their stories. When the world around us crumbles, provide the hope needed to rebuild. Stick To Your Guns are back home where they belong as part of the Sumerian Records Family. We cannot express how much we are excited and privileged to share with the rest of the world The Hope Division. The band has proven to be one of the hardest working bands there is today. The Hope Division is the record to usher in a new decade of metal and hardcore with faith and passion of a new tomorrow. Stock your shelves and share the new Stick To Your Guns with the rest of the world and be a part of a new era and movement. Tracklist: 1) Where the Sun Never Sleeps 2) What Goes Around 3) Faith In the Untamed 4) Amber 5) Wolves At the Door 6) Some Kind of Hope 7) Scarecrow 8) Erida 9) Life Through Western Eyes 10) 3/60 11) No Cover 12) Sufferer/La Poderosa -
Acacia Strain - wormwood
Acacia Strain - wormwood-The mammoth fourth album from Massachusetts THE ACACIA STRAIN is easily their most dynamic, focused and crushing to date. And with a huge European tour to coincide with Terror and Every Time I Die as well as a special one-off appearance as co-headliner with Gallows at this years Ghostfest in Leeds to set it up beforehand, Wormwood looks set to be their biggest album to date. It can be said some bands truly embody a certain spirit or emotion. Without a doubt, Massachusetts long running chuggernauts, THE ACACIA STRAIN, truly embody anger. And that shows more than ever on their new full-length, Wormwood. The bands sound and vibe are more ferocious than ever on this, their fourth full-length for Prosthetic Records and fifth overall. Even the successes of their previous full-length, Continent, which debuted at #2 on Billboards Heatseekers chart in 2008 and their DVD, The Most Known Unknown, which debuted at #10 on Billboards Top Video Sales Chart in early 2009, has not assuaged front man and lyricist Vincent Bennetts turmoil. For Wormwood, the band returned to the scene of the creation of Continent; producer Zeuss Planet Z Studio in Hadley, MA, where hes previously worked with the likes of label-mates All That Remains, Hatebreed, The Red Chord, and more, where he engineered, mixed and mastered the slab of vitriol. This time around, we find guitarist D.L. experimenting with 8-string guitars, adding further depth and low end to the bands already stomach turning low end sound. The band will be appearing on this summers inaugural Cool Tour with As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Between the Buried And Me, Blessthefall, Architects, Cancer Bats and War of Ages in the US before returning to Europe as part of the Hell On Earth tour with Terror and Every Time I Die, as well as co-headlining this years Ghostfest in Leeds with Gallows in June. Tracklist: 1. Beast 2. The Hills Have Eyes 3. BTM FDR 4. Ramirez 5. Terminated 6. Nightman 7. The Impaler 8. Jonestown 9. Bay Of Pigs 10. The Carpathian 11. Unabomber 12. Tactical Nuke -
Iron Rain - silent sins
Iron Rain - silent sins-Barely through their first year, IRON RAIN have cemented a reputation as one of the most ardent performers of aggressive songs and thoughtful dissection of American culture through Hardcore. IRON RAINs four members come from very different musical backgrounds but bring the best of those influences to their music. IRON RAIN is a band best described as energetic and interesting, heavy while thoughtful, catchy but devastating. Drawing their main influences from the 90s hardcore scene, IRON RAIN took the opportunity to use the Burning Fight Festival, hosted in their hometown of Chicago, to get their name out to those who would be the most interested in what they were about. IRON RAIN is carrying the torch of raw, pissed-off hardcore with a direction for its anger that the bands of the 90s hardcore scene put into motion. Silent Sins is the latest 7" EP to come from this Illinois 4 piece, promising more of the vitriolic and thought provoking hardcore we have come to expect. Tracklist: 1. Dead Letter 2. Silent Sins 3. Illusion Of Truth -
At Half Mast - flight patterns

Eager to expand on each individual members growth since the release of Fathers And Sons, AT HALF-MAST is set to release their newest EP, Flight Patterns. Flight Patterns is as much of an exploration musically as it is lyrically. While still maintaining their tradition of producing thought provoking melodic hardcore, Flight Patterns brings it all together for an atmospheric journey that spans all three songs. Tracklist: 1. Provocateur 2. The Poet Me 3. Scales Have Fallen From My Eyes -

Frontier(s) - the plains
Frontier(s) - the plains-Featuring former ELLIOTT front man Chris Higdon and ex-members of hardcore/punk standouts MOUTHPIECE, STAY GOLD and THE ENKINDELS, FRONTIER(S) debut 7 The Plains manages to seamlessly bridge the gap between the melodic ethereal indie rock of Higdons ELLIOTT era material and the blistering hardcore punk of the other members earlier efforts. Side A track The Plains channels enough hardcore angst and Hüsker Dü style buzz saw guitar to make even the most jaded scenester flip their wig, while the B side Radiomine features pounding rhythms and a swirling wall of sound that land the listener somewhere smack in the middle of post punk England and Washington D.C.s Revolution Summer. Tracklist: 1. The Plains 2. Radiomine -

Records, prepare yourself as REIGNITION unleashes their brand of 90s influenced hardcore onto the world. Tracklist: 1. Fire Breathers 2. Sinking -

Total Chaos - avoid all sides (re-issue)
Total Chaos - avoid all sides (re-issue)-Wieder erhältlich: das aktuelle Album Avoid All Sides (2008). In gewohnter TOTAL CHAOS-Manier geht es bei den neuen Songs wieder richtig rund.

Total Chaos - freedom kills (re-issue)
Total Chaos - freedom kills (re-issue)-Das erstmals 2004 in den USA erschienene Album Freedom Kills. Mit Freedom Kills haben TOTAL CHAOS ihren eigenen Stil neu definiert, weder Crust-Punk, wie in der Frühzeit der Band, noch moderner Streetpunk im Sinne ihrer 90er Epithaph-Alben, sondern eine unangepasste Mischung dieser verschiedenen Einflüsse zu einem stimmigen Sound. Mit Krachern wie S.O.S. America, Punks Coalition und One Way System Lies. 14 Songs, knapp 42 Min. Spielzeit, CD mit 32-seitigem 4c-Booklet! -

Ashers - kill your master
Ashers - kill your master-Debütalbum der Bostoner Hardcore-Punkband um Frontmann MARK CIVITARESE (THE UNSEEN) auf CONCRETE JUNGLE. ASHERS bestehen aus Mitgliedern von Bands wie CRASH & BURN und DEADLY SINS, ihr Sänger ist neben seiner Hauptband auch auf Aufnahmen von BLOOD FOR BLOOD, REJECTED YOUTH, THE RABBLE und DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR zu hören gewesen. Das Quintett besticht mit einem schrägen und düsteren Punk / Hardcore-Sound, der dem Hörer ohne Umschweife ins Gesicht zu springen versucht. Die kurz angebundenen Songs schälen sich schroff aus einem kompakten Gebräu aus sich dissonant umkreisenden Leadgitarren, perfekt aufspielender Rhytmusgruppe und dem aufgebrachten Schrei-Gesang von MARK CIVITARESE hervor. ASHERS transportieren perfekt ihre Texte, die nicht nur von den Sonnenseiten des Lebens und der Gesellschaft im allgemeinen zu berichten wissen. 13 wüste, ekstatische Songs, wunderschön düsteres Artwork. -
Guitarshop Asshole - olympus mons
Guitarshop Asshole - olympus mons-Drittes Album der Recklinghausener Band auf MAD DRUNKEN MONKEY. Nach ihrem selbstproduzierten Debüt und dem 2008 auf ANTSTREET veröffentlichten The Cheapest Pick-Album präsentiert das Quartett auf Olympus Mons 12 brandneue Songs, die als rockiger Punkrock oder auch als punkiger RocknRoll bezeichnet werden könnten. Insgesamt geht der Kurs im Vergleich zum Vorgänger jedoch stärker Richtung Punk. Herzergreifende Melodien, große Hooks und sentimentale Erzählungen zwischen getragenen Chucks, schalem Bier und kaltem Zigarettenqualm packen GUITARSHOP ASSHOLE in ihren geradlinigen Songs zusammen - und das Ergebnis ist packend, vital und aufbegehrend. Die Band rockt auf Olympus Mons besser als je zuvor. Aufgenommen im Hamburger K-Klangstudio. -

Punkrock ohne Mainstream-Appeal, mit Herz und Verstand, gekrönt von intelligenten und eigenwilligen Texten - Leidenschaft und Auflehnung, Schönheit und Wut.
