Benefit show for the Amalfitano family
Raleigh put on an amazing benefit show for Savina, Sergio of ACxDC's daughter who needs heart surgery. More specifically she has Tetralogy of Fallot which can be fatal without surgery. Much respect to Ace Mendoza who put this show on and each band for playing. There was also a raffle featuring TLAL releases as prizes that made the family some additional money.

Reviews in a new zine called Sucker In A 3 Piece
Mind As Prison "Maryland Grindcore" EP Mind As Prison previously (and famously) shared a vinyl release with the mighty Disciples Of Christ. Followers of grind know that's some pretty elite company, and unfortunately, many focused their attention on D.O.C. instead of the accompanying band. If you slept on Mind As Prison then, "Maryland Grindcore" affords you the opportunity to experience some savage, refreshingly no-frills grind. Nolan of D.O.C. provides intriguing artwork that is starkly presented on a black backdrop, and it suits the bulldozing assault of the music. It's a... Read more...

Three new North Carolina bands on the netlabel
Lung Matter Raleigh's newest hardcore punk throwback jams. Wicked fast jams, features Mike from Sic Sensation on guitar, Jeff from Stripmines on bass, good dude Trevor singing, and Connor on drums.

Reminds me a lot of the band Burma that was from here. Glad to see this band existing, younger folks and when I saw them they had some mad Despise You/ACxDC... Read more...

I know I used the above image for him before, but go saw wassup to the fella and some raging screamo jams. He will be selling their merch, and may have the first new TLAL patches for sale and some TLAL shtuffs too. I told him I'd get people to tell him a secret codeword, I can't think of a particularly funny one so you should go up to him and say 'glockenspiel'. Just like, only that. When he says "what?" just be like "glockenspiel" I think he'd find that... Read more...

Deathrats review in MRR #341
Got quite a few good reviews in MRR this month but here is the amazing glowing one: DEATHRATS - "Give Up" EP. Woooo! Somebody is pissed... and it's DEATHRATS. Expanding and, dare I say, improving upon the legacy that is DC hardcore, this four piece rips through six angry, fast, dark, feedback laden noisy tracks with some breakdowns here and there. I have to say that this is some creative writing. It's very recognizable HC in the DEATHREAT with a more classic USHC leaning and some hints of Scandi HC,... Read more...
