Keith Buckley retweeted that Gulch vid, hope ETID takes them on tour. Also gotta reiterate that Buggin’ Out rules
Didn’t realize M.A.D. Had members from Holy Land. Alsways wondered what they were up to. They had good riffage, wish they stuck around.
I still think Holy Land was one of the best bands from that group of musicians. They fucking ripped. And yeah, MAD is pretty much current and ex members of every Richmond hardcore band ever. But seriously, current and ex-Break Away, Renegades, Holy Land, Bracewar, Down To Nothing, Fire & Ice, Lost Souls, Reactor 4, Mob Assault, Neuromancer, Deadbeat, The Verdict, New Solution and too many others to mention.
New band featuring members of Vein. 90s/early 2000s hard rock vibes, but still hardcore adjacent. Higher Power is probably the closest thing to their sound, but both are still very different. If anything, it’s a pretty unique lane.
HL was so good. I only got to see them like twice. They intro’d a song with a rage riff once which ruled. I need to get their ep downloaded since it’s not on Spotify. I only have the spirit animal demo.
Pre-order of a new 7-inch here: Gouge Away "Consider b/w Wave Of Mutilation" The b-side is a cover of The Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation" and 25% of the profits will be donated to the International Rescue Committee.
Gouge Away is opening for Circa Survive and I'd love to see them, but it's the same night as Power Trip and depending on the support, I will probably go to that instead.
Portrayal of Guilt and Slow Fire Pistol release split on Run For Cover (listen) Odd release for Run for Cover, but I can never complain about more Portrayal of Guilt and Slow Fire Pistol tunes in the world.
Been listening to a lot of Negative Approach today. Something just clicked within my brain, and I can definitely see why they're as well regarded as they are.
I got back into listening to Mother Of Mercy's Symptoms Of Existence. Who else still jams that record?
