PISS

PISS are a noise-rock/post-hardcore band from Vancouver, British Columbia that made huge waves with their blistering debut released just a few weeks ago. you made me / skin on linen blends heavy, noise-laden riffs with these incredibly expressive vocals that alter between shrieked and spoken word, with samples and subjects including sexual violence, self-harm, trauma, and systemic corruption, blending personal expression with pertinent political statements that come together in this incredibly raw and distressing yet cathartic listening experience. This has already been shared everywhere by this point, but if you happened to have missed it I implore you to check this out; it's one of the most confrontational, inventive, and evocative new albums I've heard in a long time.

Hour Of The Wolf

Hour Of The Wolf were a five-piece hardcore/punk band from Prescott, Arizona that were active from 2006 to 2014. They were a bit of a throwback band, bringing the fast-paced energy and raw attitude of early hardcore bands like Black Flag, Adolescents, and Misfits with the melodic, technical edge of later bands like AFI or Rocket From The Crypt with some wild guitar solos in the mix. Most of their stuff was put out by Think Fast Records, which includes the two Decompositions compilations released in 2010 and 2012 respectively that gather all their recorded material. Those two are all you really need, though I would suggest giving the Lewd Acts split a listen as that was my first introduction to this incredibly underrated band. Enjoy.

Glasses

Glasses were a four-piece hardcore band from Germany that were predominantly active around 2008-2010. In that time they an EP, an LP, and put out one split with the incredible Comadre. After over a decade, they returned in 2020 to record two new songs that were included on the Compendium compilation, with remastered and remixed versions of their entire back catalogue as well. If you want heavy riffs drenched in feedback and distortion with pummeling rhythms that sit somewhere between the intersection of technical, melodic, and chaotic, this is a band worth your attention. They shared members with Perth Express and Trainwreck, so if you're a fan of those bands or Ghostlimb, Dangers, and Lewd Acts give them a listen. Or if it's been a long time (as it had been for me), go back and listen to them because this still absolutely rips. Enjoy.

my better half

my better half are a screamo/emo band from Seattle, Washington that released their debut EP last year. These five tracks are incredibly fuzzed-out and melodically melancholic with huge chords and cathartic vocals that would likely appeal to fans of bands like Indian Summer, Saetia, The Saddest Landscape, and You And I. Definitely worth checking out, and I look forward to hearing what they do next because this this is some of the most evocative stuff I've heard as of late. Enjoy.
