Postman - S-T (2014) O.C., California

                         Alright, I dowloaded this from bandcamp a few months back, and
                         it frankly freakin' stunted my growth ! :)
                         This one takes me back to the early days of powerviolence, that
                         in your face Infest sound or some may call it west coast powerviolence
                         sound.
                         Whatever you want to call it, i'm calling this my number 1 favorite
                         release of 2014 !!!!!
                         If any of you know me, and alot of you do, you know I hold
                         powerviolence very near and dear to my heart ! :)
                         This one is a masterpiece in my opinion, one of the best pv releases
                         in years !
                         Not that I don't love all you other pv bands that are my Brother's,
                         there are many masterpieces in the last few years from bands all
                         over the planet. But this release is definitely up there in my book !!!!!
                         Postman features Chris Layhee from Tension on guitar/vocals, and
                         Blake Andreas from Chainsaw Squid on drums/back-up vocals.

                         Took me a bit to edit this one. I just realized they put lyrics up, so
                         I finished it earlier today.
                         I believe this is either already out, or coming out on Opaqus Records.
                         I e-mailed these guys, and Chris gave me the go ahead to post on here.
                         This will rip your face off, so I highly recommend it !!!!!

Blackball - Live @ Prisma Video, Raleigh-NC 3-1-2015 (North Carolina/Virginia)

           Hey there everyone ! It's been a while... :)
           Haven't been feeling 100% this year, and due to that, this is my first post
           of 2015.
           So anyhow, gotta get myself up and running here, need to put some pep
           in my step ! :)
           This a new band that will be on my Thrash Up My Ass! Vol. 2 comp,
           which will hopefully be out by this summer !
           The band is made up of my friend David Gallagher (Vacant Planet, Prosthesis)
           on guitar, Jeff Young (Stripmines, Skemata, Mercy Killings, Prosthesis) on
           guitar, Christophe Bequet (Abuse.) on bass, Anthony Williams (Future Binds,
           Pure Scum, Bandages) on drums, and Ericka Kingston (Burn Ward, Crooked
           Teeth) on vocals.
           Funny enough, I still haven't met Ericka yet, but her other band Crooked Teeth
           was on the first Thrash Up My Ass! comp which came out in 2010.
           https://spasticfantastic.bandcamp.com/album/va-thrash-up-my-ass-tape-2
           Hash from Crooked Teeth/Unholy Thoughts actually was one one I contacted
           to get Crooked Teeth for the first comp.
           But it's a small world that I meet up with another of Ericka's bands for Thash
           Up My Ass! Vol. 2 :)
           Anyhow, enough about that, this is a Live set from less than a week ago to
           get you primed up for their Demo which should be out real soon here !
           David just sent me this link yesterday for all to check out, cool blog with
           more on this awesome new band !
           http://vilediscourse.blogspot.com/2015/03/blackball-live-prisma-video-raleigh-nc.html
           No track list yet, but Demo will be out soon folks, be patient ! :)
           Ok, no more waiting, with no further anticipation needed, I give you the
           fueled up & explosive new band, Blackball !!!!!

Remasters Series #2 ! Next 9 posts are remastered classics, done by my good friend Pat/Hatefilled from Holland !

Fit For Abuse - Mindless Violence 7'' (1996) Massachusets

   
                  Last in our Remasters #2 Series is Fit For Abuse.

                      F.F.A. got started in the winter of ’95. Inspired by the likes of Negative FX, 
                      Poison Idea, Gang Green and Negative Approach, Fit For Abuse released 
                      their debut 7” “Mindless Violence” on crust records in ’97. After releasing 
                      the EP, singer Matt Kelly joined the Dropkick Murphys as their drummer 
                      and decided to leave F.F.A. because of his nonstop touring schedule.
                            
                                                                                                                    last.fm

                  Paragraph above is from last.fm, as I don't know alot about Fit For
                  Abuse.
                  I've know about this band since they came out, just don't have much
                  information on their background.
                  But needless to say, ripping classic ep from the 90's !!!!!
                  More classic killer remasters to come !

Cardiac Arrest - Life's A Dead End 7'' (2006) St. Louis, Missouri

                      One of my absolute favorite bands from the Midwest, Cardiac Arrest !
                      These cats have been ripping up the pavement since the early 2000's
                      with their raging 80's Boston hardcore sound !
                      If you listened to this one without knowing who the band was, you
                      might think these are the lost recordings of Negative FX :)
                      These guys 100% embody the traditional old 80's fast Boston
                      sound, but with newer flares of their own.
                      I've known the singer Rob for years, great great dude !!!!!
                      Very much a part of the St. Louis scene for a long time !
                      I know bands and people from hardcore scenes all over the world,
                      and Rob is definitely one of the coolest !!!!!
                      Anyway, this one is a total classic !!!!! Definitely grab this one, sound
                      has been improved from the original rip.

Pink Eye - Worldwide Columbine 12'' (2006) Canada

                         I'm gonna use a review for this post, it explains much better than
                         me today :) This one has been remastered in all it's glory !
                         
                           12" EP from this short-lived project featuring Damian "Pink Eyes" 
                            Abraham from F***ed Up on vocals. When this hit the streets it felt 
                            like it was largely in line with the early F***ed Up material, but listening 
                            back to this a few years later I feel like there's a distinct crossover vibe. 
                            It reminds me quite a bit of the Accüsed or Dealing with It-era DRI, but 
                            with Abraham's trademark vocals. In other words, it's tough, metallic, 
                            mega-fast but still insanely catchy and punk. 
                                                                                                    Slasher Records
                        
                       I'm not going to write the tracklist on this one, one if the songs is a bit
                       controversial, and I don't want to create any bad vibes.
                       Great ep ! Originally came out as a Self Titled 7'', was later repressed
                       and retitled on 12''.
