Wiccans - Phase IV

 

Country: Austin, United States
Genre: Punk, Hardcore Punk
Label: UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY (US) + DRUNKEN SAILOR (EU)

BANDCAMP

Phase IV.. Wiccan's 5th release. Their last release was in 2017, so seeing this come out was a straight home run hitter. 11 tracks, unfiltered songs. Breaking the hardcore rules, and still show casing that some of the best US hardcore comes out of Texas. I dare you to challenge me on that.  

Catch them in your city soon.. They'll be hitting the road hard. (I assume)

Label: Unknown 

Glue Demo 2012, Glue S/T 2014, Glue Flowers Of Friendship 2015.

The 2012 Demo to this day is still one of the great hardcore punk albums I've ever heard. It's full of powerful guitar, and bass riffs. Followed by some raw vocals and drums of course. Every song is sure to stick in your playlist for years to come. High recommended..

The 2014 S/T is just so fucking good.. It's name speaks for itself. It'll GLUE itself to your playlist..

Recommended the song Backwards Society. 

Flowers Of Friendship 2015 is just more hunger to unravel the flowers of friendship. "hint hint" 

Listen man, all these albums are fucking gold. Either you get with the hunger or who cares

Institute - Catharsis

Country: Austin, Texas - USA
Genre: Punk / Post Punk 
Label: Sacred Bones Records

The album Catharsis was released on June 9th, 2015 through Sacred Bones Records which have a huge line up with a bunch of rad bands. Having members from Glue, Wiccans and Back to Back these dudes use such an obscure sound with anarcho punk style and just powerful energy that makes you want to go! This album is defiantly one of the best album's released this year (well to me). It's filled with such high energy and of course those catchy drums, guitar riffs, and bass tones. 
THIS ALBUM DEFIANTLY ONE TO CHECK OUT!
PURE GENIUS!

Institute - Salt EP

Country: Austin, Texas - USA
Genre: Punk / Post Punk 
Label: Sacred Bones Records 

Institute is a 4 piece band from Austin, Texas. I got to see them at one of the Berserktown fest secret show in Downtown, Los Angeles and woah man..  These dudes have such a fucking raw energy, and all i remember is hearing the intro to one my favorite song's "Salt" and being like FUCK IT'S ON. They have such a obscure sound its amazing, those guitar riffs cover with distortion, anarcho punk style drumming, heavy but catchy bass tones, and of course those straight forward lazy lyrics makes such an inspiring sound and just makes you want to punch a motherfucker! You can hear mix influences they've used but as the singer from Institute said on a interview on Thrasher Magazine said "yeah, yeah. It doesn't matter. I don't think anything punk should matter". 
This album is pure raw energy.
Either you get it or you don't.
