Loud, weird, frantic, angular...97-shiki. This is the bands 5 song debut featuring a drop card with bonus track. This entire record was recorded, mixed, mastered, screened, and assembled by the band. These songs were originally released along side a few others on an exclusive cassette tape for a Asia tour the band embarked on in late 2008.

Total Chicago whackyness...total DIY...totally Parsley Flakes!!! This is the bands debut EP. Many describe their sound as a mix between Devo, Crass, and The B-52's. But however you want to describe them, one things for sure - they are hard to categorize and a blast to watch and listen to!!!

Playing schizophrenic music that's infused with politically and socially charged sing-a-longs, Rager has quickly emerged as a favorite within the Chicago punk scene. What began as a metal influenced hardcore band has branched out considerably since their inception in 2006, writing songs in which ever style they see fit. Be it hardcore, punk, death metal, or Big Daddy Kane, Rager draws influences from all corners of music creating songs that make metal kids pogo and pop punk kids headbang. Experience it all here on their debut "Feculent Emesis"!!!

Plague Bringer is a duo from Chicago who's music is an assault of programmed bulldozer blast beats, de-tuned stabbing guitars and savage animalistic vokills, yielding a relentless blend of spastic electronic carnage. They continue to be a devastating presence in the metal underground converting skeptics of the drum machine genre into believers in the Plague. The highly praised "Life Songs in a Land of Death" is a must to experience.

Super strong debut full length sure to leave its mark. "The Lougue Durée" picks up where the band's initial offering "Lost in Landscapes" left off, further refining the Holy Roman staples: strong vocals, intricate guitar work, and all around well crafted songs.

The rat attack is back dropping another block of ball busting sewage anthems upon us! By far their best effort to date, Season in Hell proves that xylophones, cow bells, and songs about pretentious record store employees have their place in extreme music. Get ready, 2007 marks the return of the rat!!!

As any high performing organization would, Hewhocorrupts continues to out perform past offerings by putting forth a bold and innovative new 3" credit card sized CDEP, appropriately titled Microeconomics. Further capitalizing [no pun intended] on their 2006 strategic marketing campaign "Knowing Your Wallet", Microeconomics has pushed packaging standards, opting to be incased in an actual wallet instead of the industry standard jewel case. Complete with a receipt, wallet size band photos, and the ever so important business card, analysts have already started to recast HWC earnings predictions for the 4th quarter.

Even though they don't play the most accessible music -- an instrumental amalgam of punk, metal, indie-rock and even prog -- Russian Circles have it. "Enter," their debut album, definitely doesn't sound like a new band clumsily over-thinking their songs, but instead it sounds like one cohesive composition in six movements. Each movement holds its breath through the intense moments, but exhales through sweeping, airy horizons that slowly collapse into dense panoplies, showcasing the band's shifting dynamics, and not just the binary code of loud /quiet.

The crushing follow up to their widely acclaimed debut CD, "All Is Lost...". "WW1" picks up where "All Is Lost..." dropped off, bolstering thicker production courtesy of engineer Jeremy Lemos (Hewhocorrupts, Kungfu Rick) and mastering guru Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer) and a more mature song writing approach. Find out why TOR has become one of the most hyped bands in extreme music today. Less sass more blast!

Trading in their pickup trucks and acoustic guitars for battle axes and beards, (Lone) Wolf & Cub waste no time in laying exactly that...waste...metal waste. Whether they're in the back yard training attack dogs or rubbing rocks together to ignite the fire for their next meal of meat, these men have one thing on their mind, destroy the living and devour the maggots that seek their flesh!!!!

The long awaited reissue of this classic record featuring 3/4ths of the now influential instrumental act Pelican. The re-issue includes a complete remix and master of the record, plus six new live tracks, new artwork courtesy of Aaron Turner (Hydrahead | Isis), and a new enhanced section with a music and live video. Get ready...again!

What can you say about this one? These former members of The Suicide File, Shai Hulud, Arma Angelus, and Killing Tree draw upon influences as wide-ranging as Sunny Day Real Estate, Quicksand, Failure, and Seaweed to crank out six gems on their debut EP.

Live and learn folks. Chicago's Not Enough Gold release their first offering, chalked full of pissed off, renegade fueled hardcore. Crafty guitar work complimented with tongue-in-cheek lyrics provide ammo for this short but sweet thrash attack. Backup vox by members of Fall Out Boy, The Killer, and Sidewalk.

Spazztic...yes...live...amazing...album...11 songs in under 10 minutes. That's about all you need to know. These IN natives blow through their songs with a mind numbing combination of 1000 mph blast beats and battering breakdowns that are sure to rip the white belts off any spock rocker. Pick up the disc and get dat ass kicked!!!

Tusk blasts through nine devestating tracks of no wave destruction. Their music is a bombardment of experimental guitars and double bass mania with vocals that are about as subtle as getting run over by a semi truck. Members of Tusk also play in Pelican (Hydra Head Records).

The equation is finished. Stillwell unleashes their first full length record, five years in the making, and their best material to date. Hailing from Chicago, Stillwell play crazy math rock/post-hardcore music that's catchy and danceable.

No other act in Chicago brings the rock like MC. It's raw, it's hard, and it's done right. Combining humorous rants, blistering guitar riffs, and thrashing drums, Mexican Cheerleader rips through ten ragers on their self-titled full length debut.

Well played pop punk, catchy riffs and fun lyrics make the Brockmeyers' full length a must own. Though the band broke up way too soon their songs will be remembered. Make sure to check out the members in their newly formed projects!

There is just too much going on here. On one side you have the helicopter grind kings, Tusk, from Chicago tearing their way through two tracks of wind tunnel metal. On the other side, the corporate skundrels from the Chicago loop district unleash their bank accounts on you with four tracks about young boys and such. A definite must for fans of the fast pace, brick in the face, sound. This release marks some of the earliest recorded material for both bands.

One of the better documentations of one of the larger punk scenes in the Chicagoland area, Elmhurst and Villa Park. A must for anyone from these towns and a good taste for others.

Awesome release from this now defunct band from the North Side of Chicago. Comparisons have been made to Hot Water Music and Jawbreaker. This record features ten songs of full throttle rock music that doesn't let down. Three vocalists edging in and out with gruff voices over well crafted songs. Definitely and must for fans of the emotional rock vein.

Ex-members of Kungfu Rick, APB, and Last in Line dish out five tracks of high speed thrash. Members of this band currently play in Hewhocorrupts as well. Though the band went on to release other records, "The Hit Squad EP" marked the bands first major release. These tracks were re-released on a split LP with the legendary Detroit hardcore act, The Necros. That record is also out of print.
