PILLARS OF IVORY - Genesis/Exodus Demo

Location: New York Metropolitan Area

Release: DAZE, 2020

Age of Quarantine, day # 189 - The folks at The Essence couldn't have said it better "BABYLON IS BURNING AND THIS IS THE SOUNDTRACK"!

A side project from dudes behind Mindforce, Death Threat and Age Of Apocalypse which can quite possibly become their main thing.

Their first demo GENESIS dropped in August and it's comprised of one long track divided in 8 parts (I. Key To Success / II. D.R.E.A.M. / III. Strawberry Mac 10/ IV. Salute / V. Gotti Du$t Bluntz / VI. T.W.C.T. POI / VII. Tearz Fall / VIII. Puffin' At Tha Lantern). The same goes for the EXODUS demo which came out last week but with a different tracklist of course.

MFP (Main Force Patrol) - Discography

Location: Boston, USA

Release: Painkiller Records, 2011-2014

Age Of Quarantine, day # 171 - MFP, the apocalyptic law enforcement depicted in the movie Mad Max or, in this case, a Bostonian Hardcore unit comprised by the same folks behind Painkiller and R'n'R Disgrace (among other bands)! It comes as no surprise how hard this one rips, pure jock hardcore.

A total of 1 EP and 2 demos were issued (european versions by Stomp Records included), more than a dozen tracks were layed, as their contribution track to the We Breed Ugly compilation, but more were expected. Their last output, the 2014 Demo, was part of a lengthier work but they dropped it there.

可燃引火 – Discography

Location: 仙台市, 日本

Release: Final Letter, 2010

Age of Quarantine, day # 167 - 可燃引火 (reads Kanen-Inka) dates back to 1997 and it blew a lot of minds in Japan when they dropped their EP entitled 靴と僕, playing a style that reflected straight Youth Crew songs in japanese lyrics based on vegetarianism and Krishna consciousness.

Just the idea of finding about a Krishnacore band hailing from Japan (first one and probably last!) can be mindblowing but the fact that they do deliver great catchy tunes is even better. Nailing those key ingredients for a powerful positive hardcore outfit made them a staple of Nippon old school hardcore, exerting influence on countless local bands that came after them.

In 2010 they put out their final album Self-Titled with tracks taken from demos, compilations and live performances released on CD-only by the label FinalxLetter.
