Black SS - Foreign Object
"With Black SS, what you see is what you get. No bullshit, no posing, just pure hardcore. Black SS is a band whose only goal is to remind the world that hardcore is supposed to be the rawest, most honest form of punk. This band is an outlet for 4 pissed off people who have never, and will never, let go of the anger towards society that defined their youth. A middle finger to the mainstream that continues to infiltrate our scene and a punch in the face to all the empty - fashionable hardcore. Black SS say what they mean and mean what they say. And if you dont like it, tough shit."
This is no nazi bullshit!!!

Glass & Ashes - Selftitled
SoCal hardcore outfit Glass and Ashes come screaming out of the gate on their explosive second album, defying the sophomore curse that plagues oh-so-many punk bands. The ten songs on this self-titled disc keep close to the formula the group laid down nearly four (!) years ago on Aesthetic Arrest, but unsurprisingly, the lengthy interim between albums has seen the group become both smarter and stronger. Blistering tracks like “To the Point of Paralysis” and “Exit Wound” still recall an unhinged attack that’s similar to Planes Mistaken for Stars, but G&A is wound far tighter, with an advanced sense of complexity. Those math-y tendencies get a great airing on longer, more structured cuts like “We Will Hang for This” and the seven-and-a-half minute track “The Rebuttal” that closes out the album. But although G&A have grown wiser, they’re still possessed of the same riotous energy that’s helped garner them a considerable live reputation over the years.

GLASS & ASHES - AESTHETIC ARREST
Punknews:
I’ve been a pretty big fan of No Idea records for the past few years. Stellar releases from Against Me!, Planes Mistaken For Stars, and Twelve Hour Turn still often find themselves in my CD player. So when a copy of Glass And Ashes's debut album found its way to my desk, along with the description “Glass And Ashes are already garnering comparisons to Planes Mistaken For Stars, Torches To Rome, and Yaphet Kotto, with a touch of D.C.’s past,” I’d be lying if I say it didn’t have me immediately interested. So did the album live up to its billing, and its comparisons?
Yes, and then some. This album really is a breath of fresh air. After the momentary sound of a siren, you get some solid guitar and drum rhythms thrown at you right away on the album's first track, "Black Beneath The Eyes." That more than anything else is noticeable about this album. These guys are great musicians. The guitar work is absolutely incredible throughout the duration, never wavering in intensity, even during the albums more melodic moments. The members of the band all seem so in tune to what the others are doing, that they all draw from each other, and just make everything meld together that much better. They can play to various styles as well, sometimes lashing into all out chaos, other times more subdued, but it’s always interesting, and each member of the band gets their own chances to shine. The distortion on the guitars is just right, and I really love the drums on this album. Listen to "Controlled Burn" for evidence in just how good these drums are, and what good rhythms are kept by the bassist and guitarists.
To accompany music this good, outstanding vocals are necessary, and luckily, this album presents some of the best I’ve heard in a while. Frenzied, passionate, but always with just the right level of intensity. They’re nothing over the top, and the singer has a relatively unique voice, a raspy voice, almost a scowl, like he’s screaming without even trying. That’s one of the things that makes this such a genuinely good album, is that these guys sound extremely talented without trying to be so. Confusing? Probably, but when you listen, you’ll know what I mean.
I’m not going to compare the singer to anybody else; I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions, because I don’t feel that any connection I draw will do him justice. The vocals really reach their pinnacle on "Eighty Six," and the instrumentation shines there as well. This song perfectly shows what a complete package that this album can be. When the song finally ends amidst waves of reverb, you just wish it would keep on going.
With all the great things this album has laid down, I’d say they wouldn’t affect me as much if the lyrics were really lacking, but that couldn’t be more opposite the truth. The lyrics these guys have put down are deeply rooted in political and social conscience. From the politically-driven "The Art Of Selling," to the album's most poignant moment "Dividing Line," these guys are quite intelligent about the way they use their words. "Dividing Line" is a song about rape, which is not a subject many bands choose to tackle in their songs, but Glass And Ashes do a great job of painting the entire picture of the subject;
She locked herself in her room again, not from one night but from the years that follow it / Running from screaming eyes that ostracize the dividing line between victim and surviving / What would you do if you walked into your sister's room with her crying alone? / Tired of the guilt and shame put on her by spectator and predator / A strong woman might arise despite the victimization from friends now passersby.I don’t know about the rest of you, but to me, that’s some really strong songwriting, and as with the rest of the album, the passion in the vocals only serve to better put across the message behind them.
No Idea has done a great thing to sign this band and put out their debut album. Every aspect of this, from start to finish, feels like a band that’s been around for years and years. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this extremely talented foursome, because if Aesthetic Arrest is any indication, then we’re in for a real treat.

Fucked Up - Year Of The Pig
Toronto’s FUCKED UP tore asunder the bonds of hardcore punk with last year’s limited-edition 12” YEAR OF THE PIG. Released on highly collectible Brooklyn label What’s Your Rupture?, the title track is 18 minutes of pure fury and disgust.
The fury is for the meat industry and corporate hypocrisy. The disgust is ultimately for ourselves and our own lifestyles of excess and consumption. The pig at the trough, pushing aside his fellow-creatures in his greed for more food, will ultimately be food too.
This rather grim, if compelling, exegesis, is laid over a loping, menacing bass beat and a plaintive female vocal singing “Pigs at the trough show no fear” in a childlike, almost nursery-rhyme-ish introduction. Abruptly the trademark 3-guitar assault is unleashed, along with vocalist Pink Eyes’ bloodcurdling growl: “Pigs at the trough slit and squeal.”
This is not comforting music, but it is utterly engrossing and honest. It adds yet another layer when you realize that the song is about the treatment of sex workers in Canada. With this EP, FUCKED UP have broken out of the hardcore ghetto and rewritten the rules of the genre.

Brat Pack - Hate the Neighbours
Und Holland die Dritte...
If I didn't know better I would have thought this was a band from Cali in the early to mid eighties, right in the prime of American hardcore and punk rock. But no! No my friends! Brat Pack are from the Netherlands! Yeah, you heard me right. From the second I put this album on, the first track blew me away, I was pleasantly surprised with Sick Burn, and the rest of the songs continued to keep my attention. The lead vocals have a familiar sound that I can't put my finger on exactly, maybe familiar but not worn down. Back-up vocals have a good punk rock anthem effect. Everything seems to fall in place with this album, I really fuckin' dig this.
