SKALLAR from Baltimore play raw d-beat crust punk. Their 2026 EP dropped February 27, 2026 with five tracks of furious, metallic aggression. Grinding riffs, relentless d-beat drums, and politically charged fury - this is crust punk/metal done right. Cover art by Jamie Rosier sets the bleak tone perfectly. Fast, filthy, and uncompromising from start to finish.

Boycott The Baptist from the UK deliver four tracks of grindcore/crust punk on Father Egg, released February 13th, 2026. The band has been touring relentlessly since 2013, supporting acts like Wormrot, Discharge, and Trash Talk along the way. This EP leans into their Pig Destroyer and Eyehategod love while keeping the Black Flag punk energy front and center. Tracks range from the three-minute rippers to the sprawling six-minute closer "Jane Doe In Idaho." UK grindcore that's been road-tested to hell and back.
FFO: Wolfbrigade, Infest, Weekend Nachos
