DEMOlish finally has a webstore!












DEMOlish, the demo tape label I've been working on, finally has a place for people to purchase releases and whatever other distro stuff that comes my way.

Here's the link: demolish.storenvy.com

Also, here's the bandcamp page once again for anyone who still hasn't heard the releases yet: http://demo-lish.bandcamp.com/

Hope everyone digs these jamz.  Also, definitely keep a look out for the debut release from Raleigh's latest killer band Infección on DEMOlish really soon, featuring members of Devour, Brain F≠, Double Negative, Whatever Brains, and a lot of other killer Raleigh bands.  It's going to be really awesome.

Thanks for the support,

-Jeff

Destino Final - Atrapados LP


Artist: Destino Final
Album: Atrapados LP
Year: 2009
Label: La Vida Es Un Mus Discos


Tracks:
1. ¿Donde Estan?
2. ¿Qué Vas A Hacer?
3. Atrapados
4. Laberinto I
5. Laberinto II
6. Ahogate
7. Este Dolor
8. Cuenta Atras
9. Volver A Empezar

This LP came out a couple years ago, but I just recently re-discovered how great it is.  Destino Final hails from Spain and, from what I've gathered, was formed by former members of renown Spanish hardcore band Invasión.  Like some other Spanish hardcore bands I've heard, this band has a d-beat vibe, but at the same time they sort of don't. There is some definite Discharge influence, but the band's sound is in no way any sort of crust-rehash.  

From the first screech of feedback, this record is totally intense and pulverizing all the way through.  Where I would say Destino Final differs from their contemporaries is that they sometimes deviate from the high-speed, rocked-out d-beat parts in exchange for a brutish, slow pulse that is SUPER tough.  The vocals that soar over-top this straightforward wall of sound are overly reverbed out, providing this washy ambiance over the whole mix.  The difference between the music and the vocals provides a really interesting contrast.  Another reason why this record is so great from start to finish is because of the flow of the tracks. In particular the tracks that sort of run together like Laberinto I and Laberinto II, where part 1 is one of the faster songs on the record and part 2 is this long, drawn out mid-tempo chant that closes the first side of the LP.

I've heard that Destino Final is currently working on a new LP for next year and I'll be excited to see if they can top this one.  But for now, I highly recommend checking this record out.  Also, if you want to get the LP, I'm pretty sure the label still has copies, and also Sorry State still has some in their distro.

Out Cold- Planned Accidents EP

My favorite hardcore band of all time hits one out of the ballpark with this infectious and quick EP. This band defines all that is just a straight up, bullshit-less hardcore punk band. No fashion, no gimmicks, and no fucking politics. Mark Sheehan delivers vocals like a punch in the face, and scripts lyrical message that's not too far from the 80's hardcore style, yet it's genuinely pissed off. Every time I throw this record on the turn table I want to smash everything in sight.

The track "Golden Age of Psychobabble" slides right in and out, makes a point, thrusts hard as shit and ends in less than a minute. Flip the record over to hear "People Like You", and after the first pause, you might feel like putting a hole in a wall. This is by far one of my favorite releases by Out Cold. Other ones to look out for are "Will Attacked If Provoked" and "Goodbye Cruel World", both of which will probably get posted on this website sooner or later.

I love this band because in the 90's and early 00's, no one gave a fuck about hardcore, and they just kept playing it. Other 80's hc bands went on to do more experimental projects or sell out, etc. This band just kept playing genuinely pissed off hardcore punk, and never swayed apart from that in the two decades that they were a band.

RIP Mark Sheehan
