BAD SEED - European Discography

Location: Wilkes-Barre, PA
Release: DIY, 2009

Like the UK kids in Basement that had a metallic hardcore project called Strange Places, dudes in Tittle Fight used to play in BAD SEED, heavily influenced by early Merauder.

From 2008 to 2009 they recorded 10 songs in total and only played a handful of shows. This release compiles everything they've put out (except the live tape), there is nothing new here but a slight different version on the demo songs. Ultimately I couldn't find anything else about this Discography CD and it is unlikely they are getting back together ever again.

HITTIN' RANDOM - Split Shit

Location: Venezia, Italia
Release: Assurd Records, 2018

Venice own's HITTIN' RANDOM is back with a compilation of tracks recorded after their first EP. The first 3 tracks are from the split w/ Keep Talking (Switzerland), the following tracks are from a more recent split w/ Siege Stompers (Italy) plus a track from the Assurd Comp.

They are still one of the best bands to come out from that area, right on my alley of slammin' hardcore punk. For more quality italian music visit the Assurd bandcamp.

FORCE - Demo 2017

Location: België
Release: Control Records, 2017
Artwork: Spoiler

A long due post this is! Old school hardcore like it was done 10-12 years ago in Belgium, the Zotte Sfeer revival era (Complete Control/Powered Records). FORCE is comprised by dudes in Rise & Fall and Mindwar.

The 7-track demo is sold out. Rumors says about a new record but since the founding member Vincent (Rise and Fall) left the project and Mindwar is recording a new EP for Reality Records things are blurry.

PEACE TEST - Demo

Location: New Bedford, MA
Release: DIY, 2018

Another endeavor by Trevor Vaughan (The Rival Mob, Straight Razor, Wound Man..) and friends. What to expect here? 40 seconds blazin' tracks INFEST style, this is NBHC MA Glory!



Since Trevor is such a prolific musician there are quite a few "one time" side projects under his belt, all done and recorded by him in his basement. Here are other 2 which has similar traits: NBX and Brother (w/ his wife Heather singing!)
