Agoraphobic Nosebleed Agorapocalypse: The last thing that comes to mind when one things of Agoraphobic Nosebleed is females. Well you better start since Kat, from the band Salome, has joined this constantly changing project. Her vocals are fierce enough to hold up with any of the guys, but still it’s a nice change and really [...]
Glasses – Self Titled EP
Glasses Self Titled EP: It’s made in Germany! You know the German’s make good stuff, even hardcore music. This is defiantly angry stuff. Musically it’s very sold. Nothing super new, but done so well that you don’t mind. The female screams add a bit of a nice twist. She also screams about pissing a lot, [...]

Pig Destroyer Phantom Limb: Vicious is the best way to describe this album. JR Hayes’ vocals have never sounded angrier, snarling through the tracks like enraged animal.

Unfortunately these guys haven’t been canonized to the extent that Black Flag, Minor Threat and The Dead Kennedys have. Negative [...]

Black Ships – Omens
Black Ships Omens: “Omens” is the sound of an active quarry: Loud, explosive, and crushing. The guitars are suitable distorted, while the bass is down tuned to the point of sounding almost out of tune. The vocals roar out, incomprehensible but you know he’s shouting about angry things like being late for the bus. The [...]
Scissorfight – Jagernaut
Scissorfight Jagernaut: Perfect for those who find The Moldy Peaches too raucous. Lacks testosterone. Rating: 11/15 Pink Lady Slippers
