SATANIC SURFERS have already left quite a mark on the worldwide-scene, steadily increasing their position as a 90’s version of the HARD-ONS. Having established themselves as one of the leading European melodic punk bands worldwide, yet being nowhere near mainstream popularity, the band has received massive underground success and a cult-status comparable to that of […]
Hatebreed
With unflinching tenacity, the impenetrable heavy metal hardcore factory that is HATEBREED has brought forth yet another iron cast, sonic weapon with Weight Of The False Self.

Teenage Bottlerocket
Teenage Bottlerocket have always been about the essentials: fast songs, fun shows, and friends who feel more like family.

Bad Religion

The band has long […]

The band took these influences and developed their own style of fast, punk tempos […]
The Interrupters
When talking about The Interrupters, a band from Los Angeles, forget labels like “SoCal punk rock” or “next-gen ska.” A concert by The Interrupters feels more like a ceremony without religious icons—replaced instead by mirrors reflecting both the band and the crowd as one. Fueled by the boundless energy of Aimee Interrupter and the Bivona […]
Streetlight Manifesto
Seven musicians, seven different musical backgrounds, seven distinct personalities — one band, a unique and unmistakable voice: Streetlight Manifesto.

A few months after releasing their debut record, Everything Goes Numb, Streetlight […]
Death Before Dishonor
Forget everything you think you know about Boston hardcore. Beyond the clichés of beatdowns, “tough guy” attitude, chugga-chugga riffs, and mosh pit mayhem lies one of the most relentless bands in the hardcore scene: Death Before Dishonor. Their latest EP, Master Of None (2023), not only reaffirms the band’s unwavering commitment to their music, but […]
