Trial - Are These Our Lives?

Trial - Are These Our Lives? (1999)

Not very often do you come across a perfect hardcore record. Well, luckily for you, this is one of them. Strong, insightful, political lyrics refined with a strong, technical sound. I seriously get chills from listening to this record from start to finish every time. I was even fortunate enough to see this band in their most recent (and most likely final) reunion in Chicago earlier this year. Trial is easily in my top favorite hardcore bands of all time, and it's all thanks to this record right here. Enjoy.

Social Justice - Unity Is Strength

Social Justice - Unity Is Strength (1989)

Such an awesome, underrated band. I think this record repressed in 1995. Social Justice was from California and drew influences from bands like Uniform Choice, Bad Religion, Suicidal Tendencies, and Insted. Seriously this band is so underrated and if you haven't heard of them or this record, get it right now! Enjoy.

Have Heart - The Things We Carry

Have Heart - The Things We Carry (2006)

This record is one of my favorite records of this decade. Powerful lyrics with a powerful sound to reinforce it. It's a little more melodic than the other releases, but I feel it gives the record a nice touch. It also shows how the band is progressing. If you don't have this record you should get it right now. This band recently broke up and they will be greatly missed. Enjoy.

Fury Of Five - This Time It's Personal

Fury Of Five - This Time It's Personal (2000)

This is a later release, but I still dig it. Yes, I like Fury Of Five and I get down with this album from time to time. It's bouncy, heavy and fun. If you like that and can get down with Wiggas in da hood, then get this album. Enjoy.

Blank Stare - S/T

Blank Stare - S/T (2008)

This is Boston straight edge band, Blank Stare's LP and it's pretty damn good. This band recently broke up, which is kind of a bummer. It's fast, it's pissed off, it's edge, it's Boston hardcore. Enjoy.

Remission - Accept

Remission - Accept (2009)

This is the full length from the Chile sensation, Remission. I personally love this band as they remind me of Verbal Assault and One Step Ahead. If you're a fan of those bands, definitely check this out and purchase the record. Order it here: http://www.amendment-records.com/store.htm Enjoy.

Iceburn - Moon/Brew #9

Iceburn - Moon/Brew #9 (1994)

I don't know much about this band to be honest, but there was a request for this 7" by someone who sent me a bunch of sweet music, so this is the least I could do in return. But from listening to this record, I can say this band is pretty much a jazz band. I mean the punk influence can be heard, but this is like straight jazz, which is awesome of course. So, Tim, I hope this made your day, haha. Enjoy.
