RESTLESS YOUTH - State Of Confusion CD

Location: Tilburg, Netherland
Release: Complete Control / Dead & Gone, 2005

For those who follow this blog, gotta trust me on this one. Excellent dutch hardcore in the vein of Bad Brains.

With 3 releases, this being their first EP followed by their full-lenght "Light Up Ahead" in 2006. The CD version of State of Confusion contains their demo as bonus, which can be tricky to find.

For those who already knew them, rejoice this high bitrate rip. Good weekend, stay tight!

WORLD EATER - Demo MMX

Good demo by these german old schoolers! 9 tracks, 2 covers (SSD and Straight Ahead).
Musically they fall between Nothing Done and Shark Attack.

A new 7" is due by late September'11 on Save My Soul Records, 8 brand new tracks on it. Looks nice! Sounds better! A european tour is scheduled alongside Rotting Out and Downpresser to support the new album.

1-7 from Someone Talked 7"
8-10 previously unreleased
11 from Destroy All Monster Comp.
12 from All Systems Go! Comp.
