kevin101 The vinyl is the same colour as my hair 😅

James .R. Dixon This just might be the finest Hard Core album for 2020. Beach Impediment, where else? get onto this label, before you develop a speech impediment from listening to commercial vomit. Favorite track: Swinging Back.

Greg McGuire Awesome hardcore sound from a young upcoming band. Each member with great credentials over many genres of music.

☆R●gR4f☆ P£Ac£ & Shove♧ ♡s Laffing Gas! Btw. mix o2 with the gasz, get the combo right at maximum wastecase w/out snuffin cerebral cells, and this tight shizz makes a lot of senz...wawawawaaaaaaa Favorite track: Don't Ask Me.

about

Nearly four years after delivering a handful of demos along with a live tape then seemingly dropping off the radar release wise, Bloomington's LAFFING GAS swing back at any and all credulous hardcore punk enthusiasts who might have forgotten about them or thought they'd just run their course and faded into obscurity as so many tend to do. "It's a Beautiful Day in the Gulch" showcases 10 blazing tracks of classic Midwestern hardcore punk, the vibe of which is more in debt to the revolutionary aural offerings of the early Touch and Go and/or Version Sound labels or even Kick N' Punch Records as a slightly more modern reference than what the region has become synonymous with in more recent times. Each record comes in a stunning glossy jacket featuring art and layout by the band's guitarist Kora Puckett.

Listen I love Black Flag, but after Damaged Rollins was bad for them. Do you wonder what they'd have done if they just kept going with Dez and Dukowski? Listen to this. benwestdesign
