LIVE REVIEW + PHOTOS: 4/14: Full of Hell / Code Orange Kids / Extermination Angel / Triac / Misled Youth

There are a lot of different types of venues that you can see your favorite bands play in. You can see them in arenas, you can see them in big clubs, small clubs, dive bars, at festivals, but in my opinion there is one way that you can experience artists that no other way can hold a candle to: House shows. This past Saturday my fellow punks and I went to the Rocketship in Washignton DC to see hardcore up and comers Full of Hell and Code Orange Kids play sets in a sweaty basement.

PLEASE STOP: Dr. Acula Release “Party 2.0″ Video

Over the past few years Victory Records has slowly switch focus from the emo/alternative scene that heralded their economic rise in the early aughts, to a quasi-experimental heavy label with random flares of bad pop rock ideas, and the results have been as increasing awful as they have been quote/unquote “metal.” One of the latest atrocities, Dr. Acula, hails from New York and features a rotating lineup of members that give talentless band members a bad name. They just released a video for their latest single, which is a term I use lightly as no one in their right mind …

SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY FINAL SHOW REMINDER [day 1]

To help spread the word about their final show before indefinite hiatus, UTG has teamed up with grindcore legends, SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY, to bring you daily reminders and share some of the world of SYNT with you. Today we’re sharing our favorite tracks from the group’s last release, Intervals.

James’ Pick – “Goodnight [Our Last Dance]

I picked this track because I think it’s the group’s best effort at pairing actual storytelling with their chaotic sound. Generally, there is some lack in the storytelling in order to pair up with the music, but the power of the grind

Grindcore is a world I discovered a bit later than most, but nonetheless fell in love with it. Everyone has their sub-genre they crave, but I have tried to explore every reach of it at least once and the thing I find to most often be a problem is evolution after the first record. Sure, kids go crazy for 90 sec. songs …
