Today Is the Day

Today Is The Day is an experimental heavy metal\noise rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, led by Steve Austin since 1992. They released 7 full-lengths as well as several splits and EPs through labels like Relapse, Hydra Head and recently Austin's Supernova Records. I put links of Willpower from 1994, Temple of the Morning Star from 1997, In The Eyes of God from 1999 and Axis of Eden from 2007. All of them are very recommended, but for a starter I'd recommend Willpower and Temple.

Harvey Milk - Special Wishes

Harvey Milk is a sludge rock\metal band from USA, named after the assassinated San Fransisco governor. They started at 1992, broke up in 1998, and got together again in 2006 to make this amazing album. Weird enough, they haven't enjoyed much success and acknowledgement in the scene, but since releasing this record they have joined big underground labels such as Relapse and they are supposed to release a 5th full-length at Hydra Head next week called Life... The Best Game in Town.

"Harvey Milk have never been ahead of their time or behind the times; they have always operated strictly by their own calendar, which has lead the small number of die-hards that they’ve attracted in their fourteen years to frequently bemoan their “criminally overlooked” status."

Ekkaia

Ekkaia was a fucking awesome crust band from Spain. That's all you need to know about them (and that's pretty much all I know about them). Here are 2 LPs I like by them: Manos que estrechan planes de muerte y sometimiento (Hands that shake plans death and subjugation) from 2002 and Demasiado Tarde Para Pedir Perdon (Extremely late for being sorry) from 2004.

Manos

Fan Myspace

By the way, tommorow at the Patiphone at Tel Aviv there's a sweetass gig of Dyse from Germany, Achzavoth, Suckinim Baenaim and Carusella from Israel for 20 shekels at 5pm, a benefit for their plane tickets back home. Don't miss it!

Cursed - III

"The following statement is far from a secret: Cursed fucking rules. As arguably the best act in the modern hardcore scene, the Canadian foursome has unleashed another installment in their appropriately named full-length series and the result is yet another half hour slab of pissed off mayhem. And in a heavy music world where bands seem to have the tendency to get caught up in lackluster melodic experimentation after a few releases, Cursed has kept their sound exactly where it belongs: deeply rooted in sludgy, crust-tinged hardcore."

III was out just a few months ago, amazing record. They announced the band is now over just yesterday, right after a euro tour where they got 8000 euro stolen from them. sucks. Anyway they were a great band, check them out if you haven't already.

Dystopia

I have no fucking idea how no one wrote about this band. Anyway, if anyone doesn't know already, Dystopia formed in Orange County, California in 1991. They are considered a sludge-metal band, popular amongst both heavy metal and crust punk scenes, due in large part to their bleak, misanthropic imagery. Lyrics deal with things from human emotion to social and political issues to environmentalism to racial equality to animal rights and vegetarianism/veganism.

Milizia HC - L'Inferno Dell'Uguaglianza LP

Hi everyone, sorry for my long abscence but unless someone finds me an hamster willing to run on a wheel to make my computer turn on i'll have to continue posting abusively like now.
Anyhow, back to our businness. I remember first time i listened to Milizia Hc back in 2004 and hell, I didn't like it. Just another random hardcore band. Few weeks ago, though, I had the chance to listen to their last full length and hell, I was amazed. What used to be Lo-Fi out of time old school hardcore yaani, became heavyfuckinthrashy fast hardcore as everyone should like. This politically militant sXe (or at least part of the members) band hails from Padova (for you Padua) and it was formed in 2003. In they same year they released the demo ''Fratellanza, Coesione'' followed in 2004 by the LP ''Militant Hardcore''.
2006's "L'Inferno Dell'uguaglianza" anyhow is their best release by far. Nothing new, just 11 tracks spitted on somebody's face with no mercy, high speed and a lot of rage (singer's screams are amazing), all of it followed by simple but excellent heavy sound. Lyrics are everything but PC or standartic, going from pure personal nihilistic frustration, to more politically aware stuff ("Avamposto Di Irrazionalita'" is probably thestongest text, in which the band contexts the absurdity in the base of Israeli's state existence and dominion of other population).
I never had the chance to see them live, since they broke up few months after this LP release. Members went on to form fastcore supergroup AntiSexy, which you should check out.

Crimpshrine - Duct Tape Soup LP

Classic punk rock band from Berkeley, California, formed in 82, this is their first LP, which includes their small releases, songs that apears on compilations and splits. Originally released in 89 on a German label, later on again in 92' on Lookout! records.

I think this one really helped define the term of "pop-punk", with many other bands from that eraly 90's scene and the East Bay area in California. also they really epitomized the DIY thing. Songs were writting mainly by the influence of drug addictions and homelessness (and surprisingly not so happy and shining like nower days pop-punk bands, however, their LP apears on my turntable at this time of the year when the sun is out).

Disband at about 89 but kept releasing splits and songs on compilations. Split into different directions but not so different after all, among other things became Pinhead Gunpowder (Green Day's Billy Joe's side project and Aaron Cometbus's - later former of No Idea record label, grate grate band), Dillinger Four, Cleavland Bound Death Sentence, Fifteen (Jeff Ott's very similar extension of Crimpshrine, also I think he is the former of Sub-City records label).

The name of the band was given to a girl they knew, she used to have crimped hair.
