Triple B Bicentennial!

You guessed it, this marks my 200th post!  It's been well over a year, but I've finally made it.  Thanks for everyone for sticking with me through the slow times.  To celebrate, I'm posting the new LP from one of Washington State's finest purveyors of Hardcore: Marrow.  Much like my aging "bod", The Sea Of... has everything you could possibly want: metallic riffs, blast-beats, dissonance, and a scathing production.  Sure, bands of this style are a dime a dozen these days, but how many of them are actually worth listening to?  This one is...

Punch - Eyeless EP

It's really cool to be able to watch bands "grow up", even if every member of the band is older than you.  I remember when I first saw Punch three and a half years ago, and how slightly loose and unsure of themselves they were.  By the time I saw them again 4 months later, they had already established a local following and vastly improved both presence and playing.  Now, they've created an international buzz from touring Europe twice, as well as Australia and Japan.  You could say they're the "biggest little band in Hardcore". 

Here, I bring you their first release, the "one that started it all".  You can expect concise Fastcore with a generous sprinkling of Youth Crew-era breakdowns.  Nice riffs and blast-beats aplenty.  It has the unique combination of real speed and real songs!  Seriously, this EP will use, abuse, and lose you in less than 12 minutes.

I'd also like to note just because there's a female singer doesn't mean she has to sing all clean in order to "still be feminine".  What a moronic and patronizing notion that is.  Enjoy.

Apu would be proud
