Towers with Take Down Your Art

Words From The Doctor by Towers

Towers (Bandcamp) do something entirely different with chaotic music. Influences from hardcore metal, screamo or punk are only traceable to the very basic elements of their songs. Everything else is just screeching and/or discordant guitars, frantic screaming and versatile percussions that all seem to be doing their own thing, rather than dictate the rythm to the guitars , or vice versa. When you listen to the total package, it’s amazing how it all sounds consistent and in sync.

Good Teeth/Gold Teeth - We Are Bound, All of Us, by Suffering, Even More Than by Joy

We Are Bound, All of Us, by Suffering, Even More Than by Joy by by Good Teeth/Gold Teeth

This starts off with a minute and a half of guitar feedback and vocals with bucketloads of angst, supported by a pummeling bass. From there on out, Good Teeth/Gold Teeth (facebook) have paved the way for raw and heavy hardcore music, with heartbreaking -tortured even- vocals. Their mix of passionate with dark and tumultuous elements and moving in between various tempos of their extreme music, make this band approachable for people who prefer various styles of hardcore. Without squeezing themselves in an all too narrow subdivision, thus succesfully transcending the division in music that is supposed to be about unity, to begin with.

Never Again - Year One

Mindless Believer by Never Again

If you’re not straight edge, chances are you’d feel bad about that when you realize how much you like this band. Never again (Myspace) was a fairly straight forward sxe hardcore punk band, in both sound and ethics, with elements ranging from quick- to turbo-paced hard punk music. Their ethics can not be overlooked as even the spoken soundsamples, as intros to songs, as well as the lyrics, deal with anti-poison messages that can not be mistaken as anything but an agressive stance toward drug-(ab)using individuals. Their range of influences reach from the broad spectrum of youth crew hardcore to true to form edge/power-violence.

out Of The Box On Sunday XXV

Partners in Crime by Thy Mighty Contract

Thy Might Contract (facebook) brings something way off the chart. freaky and dreamy noise-rock with mostly shouting/talking yet clean (ex- I Would Set Myself On Fire For You) vocals. the overall product is full of layers of weird effects on every instrument and voice, resulting in a very alienating sound. like a hipster on a bad acid trip. all of it sounds like the product of very spazzy, erratic and random people getting together and just creating music very naturally, without the restrainment of labelling, or basing what they do on what is considererd the right way to do it. this is for the adept musiclover.
