Bent Life
Full Skull EP
6131 Records

As far as the Midwest hardcore scene goes, Nebraska's Bent Life is definitely among the cream of the crop. Following the release of their debut self-titled EP last summer, the boys set out to export their brand of middle-America style heaviness, touring coast to coast with the likes of Alpha & Omega, Expire, Bitter End, Naysayer, The Beautiful Ones and more. Now returning for their second EP via 6131 Records, Bent Life offer up "Full Skull," a four-track adventure through breakneck riffs and clobbering stomps that solidifies their band as one not to be ignored. 7" includes digital download.


Tracklist:
01. Full Skull
02. Bricks
03. Ill Intent/Cut The Rope
04. Drag

Beware
Won't Get The Best Of Me EP
Control Records

Hailing from the beautiful city of Philadelphia, and featuring (ex) members of Stick Together, Let Down and Mother Of Mercy, BEWARE have quickly made a name for themselves by writing anthemic and passionate Straight Edge Hardcore in the tradition of bands like Chain Of Strength and In My Eyes. Their sound is honest and aggressive, yet with a melodic undertone. Classic, timeless hardcore that rings familiar and sounds fresh at the same time. Their debut EP on Control Records features 3 songs off their well received demo, re-recorded, and 3 brand new songs. It's with great pride that we welcome them to the Control Family! Control Records presents a limited pressing of this 6-song EP, again 100 on Red vinyl for mailorders only, 300 black vinyl.

Beyond
Dew It! - Live Crucial Chaos WNYU LP
Revelation Records

Beyond, though short lived in the NYHC scene (1988-1989), made an impact with their personal brand of Long Island metal-tinged hardcore with intricate riffage. The "Dew It!" demo was supposed to be recorded for Schism but the label folded before it got off the ground. They sold their demos through Some Records on the Lower East Side until the store closed and the rest were sold through mailorder. Originally recorded on a 1" tape and mixed on cassette, "Dew It!" has been remixed to give it the sound that was previously intended. Backed with the demo is Beyond's live set on WYNU's legendary punk and hardcore radio show, "Crucial Chaos," which was started in the late '80s and still continues to this day, nearly 25 years later. Members of Beyond have gone on to bands like Quicksand, Bold, Inside Out, Burn, Shelter, 108 and more. Revelation Records has combined these two gems on vinyl and paired it with a 20-page, 12" x 12" booklet. LP includes digital download of this record.


Tracklist:
01. One Kind Word (demo)
02. Effort (demo)
03. What Awaits Us (demo)

Beyond

Big Crux
Big Crux Is A Big Funk EP
Iron Lung Records

Out of nowhere, unseen for years, Felix from LIFE'S HALT came into the record shop armed with an ipod full of home-made demos aptly titled "Futuro", signaling that he had the itch to start a new band and get back to doing what he does best. Listening through these (only allowed on headphones) tunes We heard tastes of the BIG BOYS, THE PLUGZ and the MINUTEMEN. Best part is that some of those were sung in his native Spanish tongue. Dynamite! Now BIG CRUX is fully formed and tight as shit. Three of those "Futuro" tracks are recorded it is our extreme pleasure to share them with you. Felix, classify those tracks as "Presente" amigo. Silk screened sleeves. Art by Tim Kerr. 500 copies.
