Back in the Day
Back when I was 16 I was in a political punk band called The Dead Body Men. We were really the only band that sounded like we did in the immediate area. Probably falls under the category of street punk although I hate to admit that, to us it was just punk. I actually released my first record under the label name of Positive Youth Productions. Figured a few of you out there might find this interesting. Read more...

Thanks MRR #334 for the love
XBRAINIAX - Deprogrammed CD After a brutal and excellent mid-tempo opening track, Michigan's finest fastcore veterans blast through 30 songs that each clock around the half-minute mark. Total blurrcore mania here, with jackhammer drums and vocals spewing disdain as fast as the guitars can crank out the riffs (pretty fast, apparently). The slow bits are sporadic but devastating, especially after your brain is turned to slush by the grind. These kids have been active for years, and this release floors their earlier efforts; indeed, it destroys most of the output... Read more...
Releases available in local stores through Revolver and Ebullition
Rad news, been looking for better distribution and managed to get the XBRAINIAX CD in the Revolver distro. Maybe if it does well for them, they will carry more TLAL stuff and we can flood into your mom and pop shops more and more. Xbrainiax: Deprogrammed | Midhaven Mailorder Also, as always, can pick up most TLAL releases through the almighty Ebullition, who is a great distributor and gets copies in your local DIY music shops.

Some old jams
Realized lately a lot of younger folks around here don't know about some quality older songs. After spamming FB with a bunch of these I decided it would be cool to post them all collectively on here. Here is a poorly thrown together collections of songs that are rad. I think I could have pulled some better stuff together if I had sat down and thought it through better, but who has time for that? ...think that is a good start. Yeah I know there is no Gauze, or GISM,... Read more...

Holy crap, this is the first Suffering Luna you and I have heard in 15 years since their split with Gasp. I'm so hyped on this. Enjoy. Weird psych-hardcore with lots of good noise. It really is going to be a great dense record to listen to. Suffering Luna - Go Ask Alice Read more...

MRR Review of Sex Prisoner EP
"This is some good shit; twelve track of CROSSED OUT-type hardcore with a little bit of modern tough-guy beatdown style thrown in. Hey, I'm not gonna lie, I can get down with some of that shit - I still listen to MERAUDER on a weekly basis and it fits the extremely violent, pissed off lyrics really well. Kind of like the earlier shit by THINK I CARE before they ditched the INFEST influence. I bet these dudes are brutal live." - MRR#332 Also made a top ten above the new... Read more...
