"Survival Oakland knows all about metal. Survival Oakland can play." - Matthew King Kaufman, Fun Fun Fun Recordings
The “Grim Rhythm” EP, from Milwuakee WI’s Expire, is a punch in the face of some new abrasive metallic sounds. Kind of reminds me of Crowbar ….kind of reminds me of Terror, but in a good way…. its definitely a reflection of this progression hardcore has taken into chaotic caukopghony darkness over the last 5 years…can you say Trash Talk?
Oh and note the totally unique cover choice- out on Hellfish Records, download here.

Amps ll Eleven – “Gas Ass Or Grass”
This is some dirty ass hipster-proof Cleveland rock stuff I came up on. Think… Fu Manchu with a lazy Danzig on vocals, meaning he has little range. Its pretty sick though. Get it here for free!

So, if you’re honest about your music scene, you’ll admit that the bay area has been in a dryspell for a few years- as far as younger groups go. There was a tremendous rush of nostalgic retro 80s Harcore/Speed metal kids over the last 7 years, both worlds of which are still beating their dead horses.
So what is the next decade gonna bring? A throwback to the 90s?? I don’t think so. Because the 90’s sucked a lot of ass for music IMO.
So this is the new school. The filth, dirt, grime, groove for those kids spending the night at Alta Bates as we all apparently have due to bad acid.
Grimer is a three piece from Berkeley consisting of Drake (also of Survival) on bass/vox, Nick on guitars and Gabe on skins.
Download “Lizard King” here for free, recorded live at Gilman April, 2010.
Midnite Snake is a trio from Pittsburgh in the line of “Acid Music.” Psyche. To my ears, theres something sexual about this evil, heavy, trippy dirty crap. The name is Midnite Snake, an easy reference to a late night booty call. If you cannot pick up on that, then download six and a half minutes of their jam “Bigfoot ‘69″ here for free:
