Train Of Thought - Bliss












Train of Thought was a 90's hardcore band  from New York. This record is definitely not talked about enough. These songs are great. It features members of Bulldoze and the majority of members of Agents of Man. I would say it's a safe blend of all the things I put in the FFO section of the post.

For fans of: E. Town Concrete, Bulldoze, Crown Of Thornz,
& District 9.

East Coast Empire Records Presents: Harder They Come, Harder They Fall









Another 90's compilation for me to rant about. I found this not too long ago and it contains some of Connecticut and New York's finest 90's bands. There was only three bands on here that I didn't know but I can say that I like every track which is hard for me when it comes to comps. It starts with an early version of Hatebreed's "Before Dishonor". I always like hearing old recordings of HB tracks so it was definitely awesome to hear. There's an exclusive track by Scott Vogel's Despair, an exclusive Sum Of All Fears song, and a rap remix of Fury Of Five's "Want It All" featuring Ant$$$ of E-Town Concrete (definitely ill). It also has some tracks from awesome 90's bands that aren't exclusive (Divided By Hate, Drowning Room, Stigmata, Follow Through). There's even a early Darkest Hour track which is funny considering where they are now. I know creationisacurse posted this before me. He's gonna die but I'm lazy so I'll let it slide. ;)

2. Despair - Fracture

Big Jesus - Self-titled EP












Big Jesus is a new rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. I get a really "Fantastic Planet"-era Failure vibe from this which makes me love it. I would say their sound is a healthy mix of 90's alternative/grunge bands. This is one of the few newer releases from a band that I'm really stoked on. This band also contains ex-members of Foundation.

For fans of: Failure, Soundgarden, 90's rock.

Internal Affairs - Deadly Visions












Internal Affairs was a hardcore band from Los Angeles, California. They broke up about two years ago but had a pretty extensive catalog. This album is pretty much what I think a hardcore album should be. Fast, short and heavy. It's creative enough to keep you interested for the duration of the record. I'll be corny as fuck and say the breaks on this record are awesome. I'll admit that the vocals are kinda hard to get into but you get used to them. This band has some funny, tongue-in-cheek songs coupled in with the many songs about the core on this record. Members of this band were in a ridiculous amount of SoCal. bands also.
