Ireland's Onkalo have a tape out, which features "four songs of fast, crushing filth." Can't argue with that, can you?

Sonic Order 7"

added by Alex Deller on Thursday August 17 2017 in New Releases

Doomtown Records have released a new 7" from UK hardcore upstarts Sonic Order. The label says: "After a demo tape that was a total rager, Norwich's deadliest are back with six more thunderous shots full of proper riffs to ruin your day. This UK band features former members of Jackals and Sonic Order play in a style similar to Jackals (without the metal parts), making this tough, bombastic and angry hardcore that captures some pretty heavy and negative raw vibes."

Overdose Support - 'Try Dying' LP

added by Alex Deller on Thursday August 3 2017 in New Releases

This sounds most promising indeed: "'Try Dying' flies the flag of a sound that could have easily come out of a Minneapolis garage or whatever hellhole the Cows used to call their practice place in the 90s. The sound of guitars always teetering between a chord and ear-piercing feedback. The sound of a bass player and drummer so fucked up they have no choice but to interlock in the tightest groove physically possible. The animalistic mumble of a halfwit occasionally managing to spew some near-catchy melody lines from the otherwise incomprehensible gargle. One thing separating Overdose Support from many others is the electronic noise junk spattered all over the songs. No cool-factor here, more like throwing used toilet paper on already piss stained floor.

"After two cassette EPs, Overdose Support now present their debut vinyl outing with 8 sordid songs of bona fide Finnish noise rock."

Drunken Sailor are taking pre-orders for a vinyl iteration of the Cowboys' 'Vol 4' album. If you've not heard 'em and like weird, off-the-wall garage-surf-rock n' roll-punk stuff then you should definitely give 'em a squiz.
