V/A - Tribute To The Old School

6 years, 400 posts and countless stage dives and high-fives since 2010, promoting new music and reviving old ones, always under that old school filter this blog is known for. As a thank you to everyone who ever got in contact, answered my calls or spent time reading or downloading, here is a compilation paying tribute to the ones who paved the way for those who tread the hardway, against the grain.

Special thanks goes to: Jean-Paul Frijns & Marc Hanou BIRDS OF A FEATHER, Roman CLEARSIGHT, Jeff BAD TIMES CREW, Foxy WALK THE PLANK (SSS), Jeremy BUSTED OUTLOOK, J.B. BROTHER HAWK and Robert Commitment Records. Note: on my quest for unreleased material I contacted Eric Sheppard from CRUNCH TIME trying to uncover an UNIT PRIDE song they recorded back in 2003, unfortunaly he couldn't find the audio file anymore.

BUSTED OUTLOOK - Grand Slam Sessions

Location: Bay Area

Release: Layin' Waste Records, 2015

This band is rad af!! From aesthetics to the urgent music, BUSTED OUTLOOK has all the elements that hardcore punk were initially established upon, not just all that mindless rage and reppin' your local crew we are becoming used to.

They play a mix of youth crew and fastcore with riffs galore and provokative lyrics, featuring members from dozens of other cali groups, such as: Permanent Ruin, In Digust, Condition, Ritual Control, Scalped, and the list goes on.

B.O. has plans for an US tour (with some dates already confirmed) and also Europe for 2016, for that matter they demoed some songs in "grand slam sessions" that will appear on the upcoming full-length by REFUSE RECORDS, scheduled for July. I believe this is their second promo tape, first one was for their debut EP on Warthog and sold on a festival last year, the demo "plagued in horder" was recently issued in vinyl by Speedowax!

SUPPORT:
 2015 Promo Tape [Layin' Waste Records]
Spitting Wind EP [Warthog Speak Records]
Plagued Hoarder 7" [Speedowax]

LAYIN' WASTE RECORDS

Primarily focused on cassettes, Jeremy B.O. has just started Layin' Waste showcasing 5 of the finest Bay Area's hardcore groups and they are all new to me (except Busted Outlook). If you are down with that retro sound New Breed Comp. meets UK82 you may want to watch this label closely, it's raw and hard.
