FORGE AGAIN SAMPLER (2015)

Here's a cool free taster sampler from Chicago's Forge Again label.
Not gonna go into alot of detail since you guys are big boys and girls and can check it out on your own. Highlights for me include, Lasers and Fast and Shit, Old Gods, Volunteer, Child Bite and Tight Phantomz.
But go on, and make your own opinions for yourself.

GASOLINE FIGHT - USELESS PIECES OF WEAPONRY (2004)

So relating to the last post... this short, one release EP from Chicago's Gasoline Fight, features one of the members now in Volunteer. It also features members of Sweep the Leg Johnny, Small Brown Bike and Millions, and is more on the punk side of the spectrum. But a close listen reveals killer complex mathy parts, and noisy, angular and crunchy guitar tinges not unlike a cocktail mix of Drive Like Jehu and Helmet. Go on...try it out.

VOLUNTEER - GONER EP (2014)

Mentioned these guys here before. Some friends of mine from the foamy Beer City in Wisconsin.

So this slab elbows and knees you in the gut to take you down, then crushes your limp ass like a hydraulic press. And then each of the 4 songs acts as torpedo strikes to destroy and finish off the rest of you. The bits and pieces that remain of your sad self, will know you went out getting the best ass-kicking you've ever had!

Consisting of 3 original, lurching chunks of heaviness, and a scuzzed-out, killer and barely recognizable Jawbreaker cover, this EP can be picked up as a 10" at the below at the link. The album art was designed and screen printed by band member, taco eater and head honcho of The Bureau of Print Research and Design. Batten down the hatches!!

VOLUNTEER - SELF TITLED (2013)

Some friends of mine who make a loud, heavy rawkus from Milwaukee, WI.
If you have good taste and like things like Unsane, Young Widows, Deadguy, Helmet, tacos, and beer, then you will want to blast this through your earholes. Also, the jacket was screen-printed on french paper by Bureau of Print Research and Design.
