POSER DISPOSER
waiting to inhale (2005/UNREST/REGURGITATED SEMEN)
GRINDCORE. POSER DISPOSER are a crossover grind outfit from Saskatoon featuring Mike and Kramer from DFA. They band takes their BEYOND POSESSION style of sound and sets it on overdrive with hyper blast beats. The music is also pretty rad. Screamed vocals over rapid beats, crude guitars and harsh melodies, a.k.a. rough and thrashy grinding, at times, hardcore punk. Yeah, this Canadian three-piece, has successfully found their way to my heart - through my ears, ripping shit up on the way.
POSSESSED BY PAUL JAMES
cold and blind (2008/VOODOO RHYTHM)
BLUES-PUNK. From the swampy depths of the Floridian Everglades comes bluegrass blues-punk Konrad Wert aka POSSESSED BY PAUL JAMES. Bearing that name in honour of his father and grandfather and armed with nothing but fiddle, banjo, guitar and a battered suitcase POSSESSED BY PAUL JAMES sings, growls and hollers songs of love and loss and exorcises his demons. To the contrary, his raw and desperate sound is the ideal soundtrack for uncertain times where questions outweigh the answers - a shot of untarnished wild human emotion to soothe our aching souls.
POSTAL SERVICE, THE
give up (2013/SUB POP)
INDIE/ELECTRO-POP. It's been 10 years since the little project that could from Seattelite Ben Gibbard (aka DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE's frontman) and Angeleno Jimmy Tamborello (DNTEL, FIGURINE) emerged from seemingly nowhere and began to burrow into the ears of anyone who came into contact with the band's infectious electro-pop. To celebrate, Sub Pop is reissuing THE POSTAL SERVICE's sole album and including in the multidisc set 15 bonus tracks, including 2 brand new songs. Vinyl comes in a deluxe hardcover and includes a digital download card.
POUND FOR POUND
For our fallen brothers (2006/SURPRISE ATTACK)
HARDCORE. After forming in 1999, POUND FOR POUND have been working hard to spread their take no shit attitude and bleak outlook on life, complete with a soundtrack of brutal, no nonsense hardcore. Heavy and to the point angst filled music for fans of MERAUDER, SKARHEAD, 100 DEMONS. The 2nd full-length from these Illinois heavyweights and features 11 songs clocking in at almost 28 min..
POUR HABIT
got your back (2011/FAT WRECK CHORDS)
PUNK/MELODYCORE. On POUR HABIT's sophomore effort, they attempt to harness the intensity of their raucous live sound, with blazing guitars, furious bass lines, tight pummeling percussion and soulful energetic melodies. "got your back" is a palpable reflection of the band's influences; STRUNG OUT, PENNYWISE and BAD BRAINS. All of which are fit perfectly into an album that runs the topical gamut from politics to partying.
POWER & THE GLORY, THE
call me armageddon (2004/DEATHWISH)
POST-HARDCORE. THE POWER & THE GLORY walk the fine line between the worlds of crust punk, contemporary metal and hardcore. Creating a post everything musical bombardment as compelling as it is difficult to classify by traditional means. From song to song the album rages forth as a soundtrack to worldly and emotional catastrophe. Building to an epic finale that evokes the apocalyptic spirit of their contemporaries NEUROSIS and CONVERGE, while maintaining their own sense of character. Shaking the foundation of the independent music community as it firmly roots them in place as a new and powerful mainstay.
POWER TRIP
manifest decimation (2013/SOUTHERN LORD)
CROSSOVER/THRASH-METAL. Drawing from the sacred texts of CRO-MAGS, LEEWAY, EXODUS, and NUCLEAR ASSAULT, Texas savages POWER TRIP have unleashed their debut album "manifest decimation". They leave in their wake a multitude of crushed generic and feeble contemporaries. POWER TRIP don't emulate, they properly channel the old-school energy of the crossover gods and add their own brand of modern thrash warfare.
PRESS GANG
s/t (2009/P. TRASH/HARDWARE/SHOCK & AWE)
PUNK-HARDCORE. 3rd and last press comes with green/white/black artwork! Feeding on anger and cheese macaroni, getting drunk on cheap beer and touching themselves in total sexual desperation, these juvenile delinquents try to cope with their shit-city frustration and spit out these 12 songs of raw and depraved hardcore-punk. These new songs are stripped down and fucked up but still keep a snotty catchiness. Think of end '70s England bands like THE USERS mixed with early '80s mid-tempo hardcore from Boston and the young ADOLESCENTS, spiced up with killer Bass-lines, stirring chorus and lyrics that speak straight from the heart of any low-life out there. A short and all around slap in the face of modern society and determined bands that want to break through, presented by a singer that soon needs to be delivered into the nuthouse, where JAY REATARD and Doph of DEAN DIRG are already waiting to play a round of Mau-Mau. CD contains the 7 tracks from the 7" as a bonus!
PRESSURE POINT
resist and riot (2007/GMM)
STREET-PUNK. Since forming in 1994, Sacramento's skin stompers PRESSURE POINT have become Northern California's premier street-punk and oi band, mixing the styles of punk and reggae with ultra-catchy singalong anthems. The boys have played with and toured with all the big names in the busines and more over their 13 year career. Sounding like the bastard songs of BLITZ and THE BUSINESS, these boot boys taken no prisoners!
PREVENT FALLS
a newer more shattered you (2002/EQUAL VISION)
INDIE/EMO-ROCK. PREVENT FALLS has emerged from the remote suburbs of New Jersey to deliver a debut album packed with 11 contagious and energetic anthems. "a newer more shattered you" features the urgency of post-hardcore coupled with the catchiness of the current indie-punk scene. PREVENT FALLS is pushing the boundaries of the new melodic rock scene with this impressive first offering. Recommended for fans of THURSDAY, SAVES THE DAY, and RIVAL SCHOOLS.
PREYING HANDS
through the dark (2009/INIMICAL)
CRUST-HARDCORE. Upon returning from a European tour, BALLAST promptly broke up. 3/5th of the band would continue to play together and soon would form PREYING HANDS including new members. The sound seamlessly blends an odd combination of crust, melodic hardcore and a touch of punk. The powerful female vocals, that lyrically combine the personal with the political, complete an intense picture. The whole thing is packaged in a beautiful cover and including a digital MP3 download card with the LP.
PRIDE KILLS
Deep in the heart (2005/THORP)
TOUGH-GUY HARDCORE. Neue Band aus Texas, die hier 4mal 1A Tough-Guy Hardcore mit allem was dazu gehoert praesentieren. Moshparts, heavy Breakdowns, kurzen, schnellen Abgehparts und einen Saenger, der die typischen, gepressten Vocals ins Mikro bruellt. Liest man sich die Songtitel, wie z.B. ''Love it or leave it'', '''Deep in the heart'' oder ''The scene'' durch, kann man sich schon ungefaehr vorstellen, in welche Kerbe PRIDE KILLS hier schlagen. Auch Textlich bieten die Texaner das volle Tough-Guy Niveau. Zeilen wie ''...live it, love it or leave it'', ''...we got the heart, we got the balls'' zeigen deutlich wo es hier langgeht. ''Deep in the heart'' wir jeden Fan von SHEER TERROR, RAG MEN und Kollegen begeistern.
PRK DUKES, THE
All the filth! (2007/DAMAGED GOODS)
PUNKROCK. Legendary 1977 album that has been out of print for some years. Re-issued with 4 bonus tracks. The split up in 1979 and the drummer went on to play in The Revillos. THE PORK DUKES' vinyl, deleted for 20 years, has become very collectible worldwide, with fans in the UK, Japan and America desperate for PORK DUKES recordings, plus a dedicated web site based in the USA.
PROCESS, THE
the kennedy sessions (2007/625)
POWER-VIOLENCE HARDCORE. Scotland's THE PROCESS feature former members of SHANK and play a high-speed power-violence hardcore hybrid with metallic buzzsaw guitars, drums that range from outright blast beats to slow sludge and everything in between, and howled vocals. This release compiles 2 demos and an 7" and serves as the band's introduction to the world outside of their home country. Pulverizing full-throttle hardcore - bring out the sledgehammer!
PRODUCT OF WASTE
you wont take me alive (2011/FREQUENCY DELETED)
HARDCORE. Rhode Island's PRODUCT OF WASTE feature members of COLIN OF ARABIA and bring a fast, thrashy hardcore attack with plenty of anger, mosh parts and singalongs, all at a breakneck speed comparable to bands like CEREMONY and TRASH TALK, with some guitar solos thrown in for good measure. Colored vinyl comes with the 4 songs from the "prophecies of a poor man" 7" as bonus tracks as well as the "back from the dead" CD by vocalist T's hip-hop side project, and is hand-numbered out of 400 copies.
