OVERDOSE - Under Pressure

Location: Atlanta, US

Release: Triple-B Records, 2007
Artwork: Trey Wadsworth

Under Pressure CD is OVERDOSE's 6-song EP plus demo, 9 tracks total. 

They played mid-paced intense hardcore with thrashy riffs, a mix of Down To Nothing and No Warning. Their last show happened in 2008 and their drummer (Champ) went on to play in Foundation.

I uploaded their split 7" a while ago, with that, it's everything they've put out.

ABSOLUTE MADNESS - Absolute Madness EP

Location: Southern California

Release: D.I.Y., 2011

Armageddon soundtrack, anyone?
21/12/12 is coming so put on those cheap sunglasses and stare at the horizon while listening to this as the world collapse, something like they did on Terminator 2 but insted of Guns N' Shit you get ABSOLUTE MADNESS!

Corey Willians - guitar (Internal Affiars / Carry On) , Alex Vaz - vocals, Nick Trujillo - bass (Snake Eyes), John Haines - drums, Mark Williams - guitar. 

These dudes got together in 2009 and put out a Demo tape, then last year they took a brake but first they recorded an EP that never got officially released. It was available for download in their facebook but mediafire deleted it (damn you), last month Nick Jett, who also was the producer of this thang, emailed it for me.

This EP is comprised of 7 thrashy songs inspired by the likes of Cryptic Slaughter, Accüsed and Violator!!

PAURA / CLEARVIEW - Rage Through Integrity

Location: São Paulo, Brasil

Release: Caustic Records/HeartsBleedBlue, 2012

PAURA means dread/fear. CLEARVIEW.. comes to mind a chemical product, you mix both you get KABOOM!

Thats why they chose a fallen Maguila for the cover (or George Foreman, dunno), you get knocked out by this soundtrack!

Round 1 you get 4 strikes by Paura, all in the face, heavy as hell. Round 2 comes Clearview, coached once again by Mr. Nick Jett, in 5 hits with crossover twists that makes any combatant dazzling around.

My favourite tracks are TIME OF DISTRESS and NO TURNING BACK, be sure to listem 'em.

Paura's tracks:

THE OTHERS - Sun and Sea

Can't remember how I got to know this one but it was a really good demo! NO SWEAT shared members with Hit The Lights (Reaper Records), that later formed Black SS.

This record is about five tracks of pissed yet fun youth crew hardcore, youngblood style. Endwell Records made a 7" out of their demo tape named "no shirt, no shoes, no sweat!" to celebrate their reunion show in January 2006.
