ELECTION DAY - Demo

Location: Syracuse, NY
Release: Secret Jams, 2008

It's election day here in Brazil, today we choose our next president and our options are: the so-called left wing Roussef vs. conservative right wing Serra. The country is divided, who is gonna win? Place you bets! Meanwhile listen to Syracuse's ELECTION DAY, a side project with ex-member from Earthquake, Forfeit and Gak Attack. Mid-tempo melodic hardcore in the vein of late Turning Point and Have Heart.


Maximun Rock N' Roll said the following about their 4-songs Demo: "The standout track here is “Sector IV,” which deals with how we lose our humanity by ignoring the displaced and the poor. The rest of the songs fall into the realm of personal, but they hit just right with honesty and emotion."

Location: Lisboa, Portugal

Neste download incluí os 2 albums que eles lançaram até o momento: Generationless e o auto entitulado EP que saiu antes. Indicado para fãs de Adolescents, Regulations e curtição dos jovens desenfreada.

EDWOOD - A Better Tomorrow

Location: Morlaix, France
Release: Reason For Change Records, 2008

EDWOOD second album "A Better Tomorrow" is the follow-up to their 2006 debut album "One Commitment", their sound is a mix of the old and the new, think Kickback meets Mainstrike!

I'm really digging this new wave of French hardcore, keep tuned for more updates.

LO-FI - Surf Is Over, God Is Dead

Location: Sanja Streets
Release: No School Records (D.I.Y.), 2010

 Os menino tão devolta com um rock que há tempos não ouviamos em terras brasilis: oitentão, sujo e skate (des)oriented! A faixa que leva o título desse EP é estopenda!!
Como a maioria das bandas que não se preocupam em fazer um som com apelo comercial, eles gastam dinheiro, tempo e o retorno não é garantido, mas como caixão não tem gaveta o que vale são as memórias que ficam. E é exatamente isso que esse blog tenta propagar.
Entrem em contato com eles para agitar festas, bagunças e quem sabe até preparar uns crepes!

Eu tinha feito uma capa alternativa, mas infelizmente não passou no crivo da diretoria:
