Ruleta Rusa - Aquí No Es 12" [2013]

Highly energetic, mid-tempo and catchy punk featuring Peligro Social, Born/Dead and Los Monjo members. Like mentioned Peligro Social and Los Monjo, RR plays classic Eskorbuto style punk mixed with some more rocked out USHC influences not unlike Gang Green  or Annihilation Time.

You can buy both vinyl and tape version of this record here.

Black Gust - Psychedelic Maelstrom 7" [2013]

Ok, this is another new release on Doomtown Records. Black Gust plays a mutant fusion of good old 80's american hardcore and garage punk drenched in gloomy riffs accompanied by snotty vocals & bitter lyrics. These fuck-ups have been compared to the Adolescents, Gang Green, RKL, "late era" Poison Idea and some "newer" bands such as Annihilation Time, Night Fever and Leathervein. Debut EP contains 6 songs in 11:30 minutes on 45rpm vinyl.

Free download (feel free to donate us money cause we are pretty broke all the time.) / Preview on Doomtown Records Bandcamp Page.

Buy the Black Gust 7" via Doomtown Records official webstore here.

If you're living in the USA it might be easier for you to order this one from Sorry State Records or Dirt Cult Records.


Doomtown Records is also a distro, see the goodies in stock on this blog or just go over to our bigcartel store.  Also, you can purchase our stuff via our discogs store.

Wetbrain - Demo CS [2012]

Cleveland based band featuring guitarist Shaun of Annihilation Time fame, Larry from Darvocets on vocals plus other bunch of Clevo freaks from Gordon Solie Motherfuckers, Inmates, 9 Shocks Terror and so on. This tape is all killer no filler. 6 original tracks plus great Plasmatics cover. This is pretty badass and catchy hardcore punk played fast and in the most filthier manner and the vocals are fucking great on this one.

You can buy this tape via Cut The Chord Records. I think CTCR will also drop their new full-lenght.

Bi-Marks - Golden Years LP [2012]

Members of PDX Nerveskade / Bog People teamed up and formed this amazing monster group which is higly overlooked if you ask me. Everything I like about Rich Kids On LSD and Annihilation Time I'm hearing here. Nardcore influences can't be denied too. These punx know their shit well!!!

Do yourself a favor and order the vinyl from Sabotage Records.

Blasting Concept - Selftitled 7" [2011]

If i was not aware of Annihilation Time's departure from the world of punk rock and if someone would told me that this is AT's new record I would totally bealive that shit. This 7" EP is some great rock 'n' roll inspired hardcore punk record. Blasting Concept did well! This was out on Oxnard based label It's Alive Records.

Lets Grow & Jaibo! split LP [2010]

I wrote about Jaibo! and Lets Grow in my previous posts so i won't bother you with my words that much. I'll just copy\paste Sorry State and Maximum Rocknroll reviews and leave you the download link for the complete split 12":

Maximum Rocknroll review:
"I had sort of a weird mix up of expectations when listening to this new split of two Belgrade hardcore bands. I started off with the one I'm already familiar with, Lets Grow, and I was expecting some run-of-the-mill thrash-core since some stuff I've heard in the past didn't really floor me or anything. But then I raised an eyebrow and was like "Hold on...these new tracks are pretty freakin' killer"! These dudes capture the '84 fast-to-mid-paced sound just right, and the singer's voice is raspy but not over the top, swallowing nails shit. Man, I want to revisit some of the older stuff now 'cause maybe I wasn't in the right mood the first time around. The flipside belongs to Jaibo!, who I haven't heard before, but had high expectations for as I had seen other reviews comparing them to Jerry's Kids and Bad Brains! Those are two points of reference that should not be thrown around lightly. There are some similarities I suppose, as some tracks do sound like stuff from the Kill Kill Kill-era Jerry's Kids and the spastic and manic vocals mixed with high-speed guitar noodling does bring to mind a little Rock For Light; but they have their own thing going on even more. So even thought my initial anticipation was blown, I ended up listening to the whole side a second time, without any preconceived notions, and started to totally dig it. And then I flipped it over to hear Lets Grow again. Both bands tear it up!" 

Sorry State review:
"Brand new split 12" from these two ripping European bands, both of who work vaguely in the tradition of bands like RKL and maybe even Animosity-era COC... in other words, this is no-bullshit HC that's not afraid to bring in rock or metal influences, but is never less than raging. Serbia's Let's Grow play mean-as-fuck, herky-jerky HC that definitely reminds me of the two aforementioned 80's bands, but with that extra passion that eastern European bands always seem to muster. As for their countrymen in Jaibo!, they work in a similar vein, playing aggressive but technical HC that recalls Rock for Light-era Bad Brains. Killer stuff!"

I still have 20 copies of split left so you can write me here for ordering infos. If you're from the States you can get your copy directly from Sorry State Records and Grave Mistake Records. And yeah, if you're interested in who did the awesome cover art for the record, it's a work of Ray Ahn from Hard-Ons.

Lets Grow - Disease Of Modern Times LP [2007/2009]

Lets Grow exist since 2001. and so far they have a lot of records out on US and European labels. They already toured Europe once and played with bands like Annihilation Time, Vitamin X, Dean Dirg, Out Cold etc. and as we speak they are touring Europe again (see their myspace for exact dates and venues). In those 8 years their music changed a bit, but it was always no bullshit, great sounding and high-energy fast hardcore punk inspired mostly by the 80's US bands.

Both cd and lp version of "Disease of modern times" was out on Refuse Rec. and TrashBastard Rec. I think these first LP presses are sold out but you can definetely get yourself a vinly repress which is out on american label Know Rec. Or, you can always write to above mentioned labels for more details about first vinyl presses and cd's. Also, there is a new split LP record with Jaibo! out on Doomtown Rec. and i'll post some more info on that in my second blog entry.
