REVIEW : Sleeping Giant - Finished People

By in Reviews | Comments closed

For anyone familiar with Christian hardcore legends, Sleeping Giant, you already have a pretty good idea of what to expect on their newest release, “Finished People”.

INTERVIEW : Those Who Fear

By in Interviews | Comments closed

Sonshine Festival was a huge success, as far as getting to see some amazing groups perform and being able to interview a few bands. Honestly, the crowd was down from a year ago. One of the groups kind enough to chat with me was Those Who Fear, a hardcore outfit on Facedown Records. They were a long way from their hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, and it showed a little bit in our short interview. I think they must have been driving all night, because they seemed a little tired.… Continued →

REVIEW : UGLYTWIN - Oh, The Cost

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Anyone can throw some dissonant intervals together and make something that is noisy, but it takes something special to use chaos and noise to create something musical. After listening to UGLYTWIN's debut full length Oh, The Cost, I think it's safe to say that they may have that something special. Passionate lyrics, ferocious vocals, dissonant but creative guitar playing, and relentless drumming form the outline for their debut album, and it's anything but empty.

REVIEW : Those Who Fear - Death Sentence

By in Reviews | Comments closed

Those Who Fear's newest album is about as subtle as a sledgehammer blow to the skull. Following last year's brutal "Unholy Anger," "Death Sentence" is an even more lyrically aggressive follow up. Check out the full review here.
