DOGSNEEZE “No Brakes” 

Don’t freak out! DOGSNEEZE is breaking up, but they aren’t gone just yet. This is real old school style hardcore punk. You know, the way it was intended to be. Whether you pronounce it Dog Sneeze, Dog’s Knees, or Dogs N Eeze nobody will ever know the difference. Say it how you want. Just don’t say too much right now. Use this as a time to listen. A moment of silence. 

REVILER “Collapse” 

You cannot put a price or an exact word on the feeling I get when REVILER starts to pummel my stereo system. This is what plays in Spiderman’s head while he slings his way through New York City. Bad guys better watch out for super mosh moves. I know my boy Pete is fucking with this new shit. Marvel would make a movie about it for damn sure. 

37 PARALLEL “Burrows” 

Evin. Kody. Peyton. Ride Again. You. Get. Ran over. 

SAINTS OF LORAIN “Unstable” 

The only saints I pray to. The patron saints of going hard in the fucking paint. Seriously go to an SOL show. You won’t find a better time anywhere that weekend. Thank punk Jesus for sending these guys down to earth for us. My guardian angel plays a 4 string bass. 

SEALER “Headlong” 

It feels like drinking [a lot] with [someone else’s] medicine (the good kind.) There’s an underlying pain but the soothing effects have risen to the top. Like floating down a gorgeous river but you’re throwing up the whole time. I mean throwing up sucks but if you play this album while it happens at least you’ll have good music playing. 

ORION’S SWORD “Forever Broken” 

Behold. The stars have aligned. The planets have aligned. Your chakras .. still need alignment. ORION’S SWORD has awakened and delivered his most recent transmission from the great depths. A place where only he and Cthulhu roam. Giants and monsters will fight battles to this. Godzilla is no match for Orion and his mighty Sword. True power can be wielded, but never taught. You have to be born with power like this.
