Hammer Split w: Coupe Gorge

Mastering The Hammer / Coupe Gorge “Split” on Straight & Alert and Contra Records.

“The Hammer is a 4 piece hardcore band from Gotenbörg, Sweden. Their first 7″ No Escape blew me away the very first time I listened to it, so I put out their new 6 track 7″. Now they are back with 3 new tracks from the “Vermin 7″ sessions”. If you are into The Flex, Right Brigade, Think I Care or 86 Mentality you HAVE TO check them out.

COUPE GORGE is part of the new wave of french bands bringing hardcore/punk/oi music sang in french back, along with Syndrome 81, Rixe and alike. CG goes with some raw Negative Approach influenced tracks ‘en Français’ like the band’s anthem “Coupe Gorge”, “Guerre Civile” and “La Nuit” in the mix with thumping French Oi!/streetpunk jams like “Haine” and “Violence”.”

The Hammer

Mastering The Hammer “Vermin” on Straight & Alert Records.

Recorded and mixed by Ulf Blomberg at Hoborec Studio.

“The Hammer is a 4 piece hardcore band from Gotenbörg, Sweden. Their first 7″ No Escape blew me away the very first time I listened to it, plus I became friend with them on tour so it was obvious if they had a new record coming out I had to put it out! They are now back with a new line up and a new 6 track 7″. If you are into The Flex, Right Brigade, Think I Care or 86 Mentality you HAVE TO check them out.”

Slur 2

Mastering Slur “Demo 2015” on Quality Control HQ Records.

“New UK band channels Early Swedish Kängpunk, Finnish and Polish hardcore punk ala Destruktions, Siekiera with a touch of Mob 47. Members of Detergents, No, Good Throb, Arms Race, Obstruct, and The Flex wanted to create politically infused anti-war songs to pogo to complete with phaser pedal and stomping drums to smash the state to.

The cassette comes with a screen printed sleeve by Max Harper with art by Guillem ‘El Muro’ of Una Bèstia Incontrolable.”

Red Death

Mastering Red Death ” Permanent Exile” on Grave Mistake Records.

“In 2014, DC’s RED DEATH came out of the gate and obliterated everyone with one of the best hardcore demos of the year. Their first recorded output channeled the sheer brutality and precision of crossover classics like Animosity and Cause for Alarm, without straying too far from the rawness and reckless abandon of hardcore punk.  On their new LP, Permanent Exile, Red Death delivers exactly as we hope a band with a strong outset should – with an even more powerful and focused follow up release.  While influences on Permanent Exile range from Negative Approach to The Accused to Anti-Cimex, one thing is made clearly evidently: Red Death are first and foremost a hardcore band.  As hardcore and punk get more fractionalized each year, they are band that puts emphasis and importance on the music they are creating, rather than what scene they fit in or what uniform they are wearing.  Permanent Exile is the record for those of us who appreciate every facet of hardcore, punk, and all genres in between, and that says a lot in 2015.

“Permanent Exile will also see a European Release later this Spring on Hardware Records, who also just posted a preorder for the LP, and that can be found HERE.
“Permanent Exile is just the beginning of what Red Death have in store for us in 2015.  They are currently in the process of recording for a new 7″ EP, coming out this summer on Lockin Out Records, as well as a contribution to The Red Line DCHC Compilation Tape (featuring Protester,Semper Eadem, Stand Off, Genocide Pact, Pure Disgust, and more), which is due out by Damaged City Fest as well. Then later this summer, some pretty sick touring plans in the works, but we will hold off on announcing that until the details are all finalized.”
