Murderlicious, out of Sacto California were kind enough to post their entire first album up as a free DL. Best!
If you can get past the name, you're in for a serious fuckin' treat. Featuring notable dudes and hardcore heavyweights Mike Stout and Mikey Hood, if any band deserves to be called 'Murderlicious', it's these guys.
Stylistically, it's all over the place, but it pulls itself together nicely. Kinda like Celtic Frost and Motorhead using the hardcore formula, but with Pink Floyd style psychedelic rock guitar solos. Sounds weird, I know. But it fuckin' works.
If you like to hit the greenery, I advise you to blaze until you look Indonesian, and throw this record on 10, and just enjoy the ride.

I'm hoping to pick these guys up for their next record, but even if I can't, the follow up will surely be next level good.

Winterizing your Doc Martens
So since we just had the blizzard, I just did my yearly ritual of winterizing all my Doc's. Here's what I do, in case anyone else out there has Doc's and want them to last. Don't try this with suede.
Get a tub of 'Mink Oil', you should be able to get it at CVS or Wal-Mart or anywhere like that.
Take the laces out and clean the dirt/blood/teeth/shit off all your boots with a damp rag.
Get a clean rag and apply a liberal amount of Mink Oil to the boots. Rub it in really good, make sure you get it in all the stitching, including the yellow border stitching. Don't worry about using too much. You can never use too much. If it's all globby, that's fine.
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees, and put your boots on the rack. Bake them for like 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the soles and make sure they aren't melting.
Take them out, and when they're cool enough to handle, wipe off/rub in all the excess mink oil.
Re-lace and you're good to go.
Try to avoid polishes, especially the kind with the dobber on the top. Doc's don't need to be polished. They're good leather. If you must polish them, use Kiwi brand polish. But really, try to avoid it.
Doc's will last you forever as long as you treat them right. Take care of them, they'll take care of you.
Just a friendly public service announcement from Dannbomb 2000 and NGS Records. Die with your boots on!

RETARD LOVERS, HIT YOUR BACK BUTTON
ok, so i engaged in a rather in-depth debate with a friend tonight. the question at hand: are retards people?
in my opinion, this is a two-sided issue with two strong arguments. the answer, however, becomes clear upon further review.
one side (henceforth to be referred to as "pussies") contends that slowies are, in fact, regular human beings. they're born from human parents and have the standard human diploid number of 46 (but not the downies!). they look moderately human and have some human characteristics. but an open mind would entertain the question, do these traits alone constitute that which makes mankind tick, if you will?
the answer to both questions posed thus far is a decidedly emphatic "no." what makes humans, well, human i guess (aside from that whole opposable thumb deal), is his mental capacity. a human is no more physically imposing than many animals, like bears or sharks or even gentle giants such as the african elephant. what truly sets us apart is the fact that when a bear tries to eat us, we don't punch him in the nose. WE SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE. then he dies and we eat him. it's as simple as that: good, old ingenuity. set up a retard camp in the woods and go back in six months. it'll be nothing but a pile of bones and evidence of excessive drooling. maybe some leftover ketchup rolls, if you threw in an advanced one who could even figure out how to make such a tasty treat.
the VAGItarian with whom i had the conversation which spawned this discourse has a valid reason for one aspect of his stance. he claims that he would not eat a retard (due to his being a pussy). but let me tell you this: i would eat all kinds of retard. if someone said to me, "here you go dude, eat some retard spare ribs," i'd first ask what variety of bbq sauce was used, and then likely consume some tender retard meat.
my point is clear: pussies like boner have it all wrong. retards are clearly subhuman, having a brain capacity well below that of your average chimpanzee. perhaps the issue of whether to eat a slowie or not is a moot point, but i feel that any self-respecting omnivore who accepts his position at the top of the food chain would gladly accept any commonly-consumed cut of meat, regardless of whether it came from the mentally handicapped or your friendly neighborhood veal farm. in a more perfect society, such activities would even be encouraged and noticed, as it does a great deal to help clean up our collective gene pool.
on a related note, i wholeheartedly endorse the state of texas's right to fry up as many 'tarded murderers as they like. damn beureaucrats standing in the way of everyone's fun all the time...

Street Sweeper (Boston) Review/Download
Street Sweeper (not to be confused with the Street Sweeper from Troy, NY) just dropped this 4 song demo this week. Definitely not a bad first effort. Reminiscent of Leeway and Justice-era One Life Crew if that makes sense. Seriously solid riffage here. They aren't treading any new ground, but I don't think they're trying to. Fast hardcore for fast hardcore's sake seems to be the name of the game, and that's OK with me.
I guess my only complaint, if you could call it that is that the singer seems to be holding back. If you've ever been in a studio, you know that sound you get when you're kinda scared about yelling indoors? You know, because it's been drilled into your head to be quiet inside since you were born, then all of a sudden you're expected to yell as hard as you can in a room wearing headphones? Yeah, that's the vibe I'm getting off him. His pipes are good though, and will probably smoke live.
Check them out for yourself.

Bringin' It Back...
Why a blog? Because hardcore isn't real anymore. We're old, we're out of date, new things scare us, and we take it out on you.
Hardcore used to be a place for criminals and sketchy dudes to commit crimes and do sketchy shit. Now it's well-dressed college kids chirpin' hard because life in Mission Hill is so rough. It's a joke, it's watered-down. It's professional wrestling, really. You come out a few nights a week, pretend you're something you're not, and you put on a good show. You stand up for righteousness like Hulk Hogan, and the kids eat it up.
We're Rowdy Roddy Piper, pleased to meet you....
