And latest Kriegshög
Can't say I'm up to date with recent HC-releases. This EP by Haunted Mansion is a total ripper though.
Misanthropic Minds are great as well

Yeah. Never got a copy of The Misanthropic Minds EP when it was available. It sold out super fast. Few copies pressed and a lot of hype combined with insane shipping prices is the main reasons why i rarely get around to pick up new releases physically anymore. Same goes for most of the Unlawfull Assembly releases. Kinda sad.
I'd say I own the most amount of hardcore punk records, but rarely am I 'blown away' by the genre in a visceral way as I've gotten older. It's definitely a younger person's genre. That said, I generally check out and enjoy most Sorry State releases.
These were some recent standouts for me:
MURO and YELLOWCAKE are the best two current hc bands
The recent Muro LP is exceptional
Uptown ruler 666 420 MURO and YELLOWCAKE are the best two current hc bands
Muro rules. Had the pleasure of watching them live both on tour here in scandinavia and in Columbia. Need to check out Yellowcake

Yeah, it's probably an age thing too...Damn, that Woodstock 99 record is good. Thanks. Lasso have just been announced to play a festival where i live this summer, but havnt checked out 'til now, Pretty cool.
new RAPID DYE LP from Sydney rules; been the best post OILY BOYS hc band in town for years now, and great to settle down with a full-length:
also been really enjoying the BAD ANXIETY EP from Hattiesburg, MS... no less than two diss tracks, so my heart was easily won
outside of those two, MURO as mentioned, OSBO in sydney and GOLPE from Milano, haven't been very tuned in to the hc world... lots of big brand sponsorship deals running around the genre lately which has been such a fkn bummer and feels like the stories i got told about the Scion Records years that i missed tbh
BARELY HUMAN lots of big brand sponsorship deals running around the genre lately which has been such a fkn bummer and feels like the stories i got told about the Scion Records years that i missed tbh
Oh man the Scion years. I remember being on tour and a band jumped on like three of our shows that had a Scion deal. Scion would give them a few hundred dollars per night if they set up all the Scion shit on the merch table. It was all the Scion singles, scion hats, scion socks, the scion zine. It was a huge spread that the shamelessly took over the entire merch table. A few years later Scion went out of business
Randall A few years later Scion went out of business
justice is served!
SF homies (feat. members of the Circs)

Hey Max, could you give a few examples? Im curious.
I was really exicted by this demo from last year
I only occasionally dip my old-man toes into the modern HC waters - mostly Poison Idea-type heavy HC. Really dig Kriegshog and would go see them if they played my city - Hiroshima, which is pretty heavy on the HC tip as Guy from Gudon etc. has a record shop here. He has a version of Gudon going now that started up for the 25th anniv. of his shop last year. They played with Boris, who covered a Gudon song as the guitarist grew up in Hiroshima!
Anyhow, I was semi-surprised to see Cliff from the legendary Blast! has a new HC band. Some great Blast/Black Flag riffin going on.
Sukebe_GG it's like you read my mind - was just thinking about requesting reccomendations for current bands doing something similar to Blast. Seems like a corner of hardcore that to my knowledge havnt been revisited/on trend yet...AND Kriegshög are playing my hometown of Copenhagen this summer. Realy looking forward to that.
Hardcore's in the doldrums right now but two bands I have enjoyed the past coupla years:
Indre Krig from Copenhagen
Stress Positions from Chicago
Trae from Electric Chair stopped by the XRAY radio station last night (this morning technically) for the latest episode of Laced Punch. Electric Chair and his new project Excess Blood are crucial PNWHC. Trae brought his own records for the show, and he picked some gems, more punk than HC.
In general, Laced Punch has become a great resource for fans of the Portland punk and HC scenes. Check it out:
Lincoln Trae uses they/them pronouns just so you know.
Gonna have to check out the show, thanks for the link!
