I DIDN'T ASK TO BE THROWN INTO THIS WOOORLD BUT IT WASN'T UP TO ME

So my boy Alex recently made a little poll on Facebook asking who people liked more: Outburst or Breakdown? I thought this was a pretty wild comparison and got me to think pretty hard about this. If this question was asked 5 years ago I would tell you Breakdown without a doubt, but now I find myself listening to Outburst a hell of a lot more. I never really thought of Outburst to have the same sort of lasting value as Breakdown but I actually find it to be the complete opposite now. Nothing against Breakdown at all, I still love that band. JUS' SAYIN'.

I also have always thought this band to be criminally underrated. I know they are a somewhat popular legendary New York Hardcore band but at the same time I feel a lot of people tend to overlook this band when talking about the incredible music that NYC has pumped out over the past 30 years. It is a shame to me that Bold comes to mind before Outburst when NYHC is mentioned. And for those of you who don't know me, I am pretty open about my hatred for Bold. They suck. Outburst didn't.

Deuces.




Favorite Track: All of them. Seriously, don't ask me to choose.

Unholy Grave


3 posts in 2 months. That's pretty good for us. A little sad, but good. Not sure if Rob noticed this guy chillen in draft for a minute, but I just have to say I'm really excited for what's waiting in draft right now.

Anyway this is Unholy Grave, a Japanese grind band who has probably done a split with every band ever. Reminds me of the Melt Banana and a little bit of Plutocracy. Their recordings are pretty rough, just adding to the raw sound they already have. This is a 'Best Of' compilation of earlier demos and splits.


Get your grind on.

(Yes, I really just wrote that.)
