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.

ArnoCorps – “I’m Ballsy” (play)

Here’s one from the Arnold-inspired bay-native skate punk fools Arnocorps. If you’ve ever seen them live, they look straight out of Predator or Commando or something.

Antidote – “Got me on the Line”

Not the punk band from Holland. NYHC. And a blueprint for that style at that. I wouldn’t call them obscure, but lesser known of the millions of bands during the influential era of Hardcore. And it stands out in that cesspool, so there you go. Download the classic “Got Me On the Line” here for free.

Grimer – “Lizard King”

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.
