Defeater - Travels

Defeater - Travels, 2008 USA Bridge Nine Records, 2008 Melodic new Hardcore (11 tracks, 68min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 73MB) ''Boston-based post-hardcore outfit Defeater injects a healthy dose of classic punk fury into their explosive sound. The band's 2008 release, TRAVELS, sustains that fury from start to finish. While TRAVELS is purportedly a concept album that follows a human life through the mid-20th century from birth to death, the real impact of the album is sonic, not narrative. Breakneck crushers like "Everything Went Quiet" and "Forgiver Forgetter" are all pummeling rhythms and throat-shredding vocals, leaving the listener breathless.'' ''Bands like Defeater do not come along often. A truly honest, intense, and dark album based as a narrative story of a man’s life set to a volatile soundtrack of hardcore fury, punk melody and metal technicality. Already getting critical acclaim, Defeater will be the best new band you hear this year.'' Some borrowed descriptions, but everything holds water. This album you just must hear and if you can buy. Don't forget, DEFEATER is playing with Comeback Kid, Have Heart, Rise And Fall and Shipwreck A.D. on 14TH JULY at GALA HALA, Ljubljana! Read MORE about DEFEATER @ Bridge9 Records. Download

Sinking Ships - Discography

Sinking Ships - Discography, 2004-2008 USA (Washington) 6131 Rec, Revelation Records, Self r. Melodic new Hardcore Discography: 2004 DEMO (7 tracks, 11 min, 7''Vinyl~?~Lame~Mp3@VBR) 2005 Turn My Headphones Up (track from: Generations - A Hardcore Compilation) 2006 DISCONNECTING (12 tracks, 30 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@VBR) 2006 MERIDIAN (12 tracks, 23 min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@VBR) 2007 TEN (4 tracks, 8 min, 7''Vinyl~?~Lame~Mp3@V2) 2007 SAFE (2 tracks, 4 min, 7''Vinyl~?~Lame~Mp3@V2) 2008 S/T (2 tracks, 4 min, CD~?~Lame~Mp3@256kbps) This is one of the best representatives of so called New HardCore. The music is sometimes fast sometimes slow, but always melodic and emotional. The Vocals are just perfect for their sound. The band rise from nothing and reached world fame in HC circles. They toured alot and released everything you see listed above in all formats, colors and different pressings.. Only Meridian and Disconnecting are released also on CD, the rest is on vinyl. The last self titled 7inch holds two tracks released also ona 3 way split CD with As we let go and My love. Meridian is actually re-mastered/re-recorded? demo minus one track, plus 6 new songs. The last 7inch releases show some changes to their sound, being a bit slower and not so complete experience of a band. Technically not the best band, but still Sinking Ships stamped their name on 2000s Hc scene, with some great songs and few that they could have worked on some more... The band quit in 2008 after some label and inside issues. Definitely worth of download and listening! Sinking Ships MySpace Download 1/2 Download 2/2
