Soulmass – Let Us Pray
Drenched in bloody violence, with horror infused pain dripping from musical wounds, Let Us Pray is a tour de force of emotional riffs, attacking rhythms, unsettling dynamics, and terrifying vocal delivery.

Barrel Bones – Shake-Rattle-Roll
…the band I most think of in comparison to Barrel Bones is one of my favorites, namely The Gaslight Anthem.

It’s a hell of an era for the Dayglo Abortions to deliver Hate Speech
The first three songs wrap together like fingers into a fist to strike with thought-provoking potency. If they were a single, it should have been nominated for a Juno or a Pulitzer.

Black Braid – I
If I were to have more children (I’m not), bits of the album would probably be embedded in their DNA.

Mouthful of Locusts – Human Dissonance EP
Basically take parts of those two bands, a little hardcore, a little jazz, the dissonant sensibilities of Diskord or Replicant and you might be in the right wheelhouse.

xIron Sharpens Ironx – The Aftermath of Tragedy EP
Passenier doesn’t just sing the lines…he sweats them, breathes them, bleeds them.

Biollante – J’Espère Que Tu Danseras Quelque Part
I’m typing, bobbing my head, and tapping my foot all to the push-pull rhythms of the music, so mission accomplished.

Lokella – As We Unravel
I’m reminded of Ume sometimes, Joan Jett others, and even occasionally L7.
