LEIF ERICSSON, THE
s/t (2007/BOMBED OUT)

The self titled release contains 11 blasts of utterly brilliant punk-rock. Like many UK (and Gainesville) bands before, The "Leif" take their musical queues from SNUFF and LEATHERFACE but add an anthemic quality that also brings to mind the finest in 80s UK punk. The SNUFF influence in particular runs more than skin-deep as singer/guitarist Will Farley also moonlights in Duncan Redmonds' BILLY NO MATES.

LENG TCH'E
marasmus (2007/RELAPSE)
GRINDCORE. Belgian grinders LENG TCH'E drop the hammer with their new full-length "marasmus".

"marasmus" finds LENG TCH'E maximizing their already lethal damage per square riff ratio with a more deliberate sense of pace. An absolute blinder of a full-length, "marasmus" puts LENG TCH'E squarely at the forefront of the modern extreme scene.

LESS THAN JAKE
borders & boundaries (2012/FAT WRECK)
SKA/PUNK-ROCK.

The updated version of "borders & boundaries" includes never-before-heard demo versions of 3 of the most prized tracks from the album, filling out the track list at a robust 18 songs. The bonus DVD is a live performance of the original album in its entirety. Vinyl includes a digital download card.
