Reviews
New record reviews across hardcore, skramz and punk rock. If it came out on a label that still does distros, we probably heard it.
Reviews are the heart of this blog. Every record gets the same treatment: three full listens before any words, a score that means something, and context instead of adjectives. Hardcore and skramz releases are short, cheap and easy to miss, so we cover the demo, the split and the reissue with the same care as the full length. When a review goes up, the Bandcamp page or label link goes in it, so you can hear what we are talking about within one click. No PR rewrites, no star inflation, no payola. If we call a record great, we mean it, and if a hyped band drops a dud, we say that too. The scene deserves better than a press release with a rating attached.
