Selfish - Life Has No Vacant Time [2013 LP]


Selfish are a hardcore punk band from Finland who's Newest LP "Life Has No Vacant Time" was released on Feral Ward, a U.S. based label ran by Yannick from His Hero Is Gone/Tragedy. Pulverizing d-beat and thrashing riffs in every track. This is Selfish's first full length since the epic LP "Burning Sensation" released in 2001 on HG Fact and Feral Ward.


"Life Has No Vacant Time" continues the thrashing punk "Burning Sensation" ended with. More insane riffs and the same d-beat drumming you expect from these Finnish punks, in the vain of Death Side, Crude, and Gauze. Japanese-style Finnish hardcore? Sign me up...

I found out about this band in 2005 when they headlined a Hellshock show in Brooklyn. Never heard of them at the time but been listening ever since. These guys play some filthy riffs, do not pass on this album; it is flawless.

Protestant - Reclamation [Dark Hardcore Punk]


September of 2012 Protestant delivered their fourth LP "Reclamation". Protestant is one of Milwaukee's finest, going strong since 2004. "Reclamation" consists of five anthems starting with ear splitting feedback transitioning into a unique, melodic-style guitar accompanied by heavy punk influenced Dbeat drums. Protestant never cease to deliver, they have released multiple EP's prior to "Reclamation" such as "Antagonist" and "Stalemate" and they continue to play shows. Only time will tell what the next chapter of Protestant will be. We'll be staying tuned and crossing our fingers for a new full length.
