Bad Taste

by Nrvs

Creating unique sounds that are left of punk rock, their hardcore & gritty sound is far from ordinary. Pulling inspiration from ecological collapse, social dislocation, science fiction, one half of the duo is notably in Extinction Rebellion, with plenty to say.

A Game Of Horseshoes

by The Great Lie

The third ep from The Great Lie, recorded with legend Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Unsane), embodies the band's raw intensity and aggressive precision. Defying Extinction is the sound of five Long Island hardcore/metal veterans who reject the premise that punk is strictly a youth culture.
