L.O.T.I.O.N.-Digital Control And Man's Obsolescence LP (2015)

Country: USA
Genre: Hardcore, Punk, Industrial, Noise Rock
Label: La Vida Es Un Mus
Tracks: 11
Length: 24.0'

L.O.T.I.O.N.  is an NYC based band who formed in 2013, from the looks of things.  L.O.T.I.O.N. play a killer style of music that incorporates elements of hardcore, punk, industrial, and noise rock within their sound.  The thing that really sets L.O.T.I.O.N. apart from other hardcore bands is that they have a really cool late 80's Wax Traxx vibe, that gives the band's sound a really claustrophobic, tense, and anxious/jittery vibe.  As far as influences go, I'm at a loss for words, but let's just say that L.O.T.I.O.N.'s sound is completely unhinged and off the hook. Digital Control And Man's Obsolescence is L.O.T.I.O.N.'s debut full-length LP, which is slated for release via La Vida Es Un Mus records on July 31st, 2015.  On their latest full-length LP, L.O.T.I.O.N. offer up eleven tracks of caustic sounding hardcore/punk with a cold, sterile electronic vibe.  Overall, Digital Control And Man's Obsolescence is a killer LP and should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!

No is a four piece band from London, United Kingdom who formed in 2011.  No play a raw, primitive, and ugly sounding style of music that incorporates elements of hardcore, punk, and noise rock within their sound.  No's sound can be said to be blown-out, dirty, and visceral in nature.  Musically, No can be loosely compared to bands such as Brown Sugar, early Cult Ritual, The Lowest Form, and other like-minded bands.  Since their inception in 2011, No have released a seven song EP titled Growing Up Together in 2011, a self-titled eight song LP in 2012, and a seven song LP titled Great Space in 2013.  Treating People Like They Don't Exist is No's latest and most likely last 12".  Treating People Like The Don't Exist features eight new tracks of nihilistic, blown-out, dirty, and visceral as fuck sounding hardcore, punk, and noise rock.  Overall, Treating People Like They Don't Exist is a killer 12" and should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy.  I also included the rest of the band's discography for you to check out as well.  Special props to Sophie's Floorboard   for the rest of No's discography.  Sophie's Floorboard is another amazing blog that you need to check out if you haven't already done so.  Treating People Like They Don't Exist was released via La Vida Es Un Mus records on April 25th, 2015.

The Lowest Form is a four piece U.K. based hardcore band who formed in early 2013, by the looks of things.  The Lowest form play a dirty, scuzzy, and completely blown out style of modern hardcore.  Musically, The Lowest form can be loosely compared to bands such as Hoax, Perspex Flesh, Gay Kiss, and other like-minded bands.  Negative Ecstasyis the band's latest full-length LP, which was released via Iron Lung and La Vida Es Un Mus records on April 20th, 2014.  On their latest album, The Lowest Form offer up eight tracks of seething and unhinged sonding hardcore that obliterates everything in it's wake.  Overall, Negative Ecstasy is a ferocious mess of an album that definitely should not be slipping under your radar.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!
