VA - Pay No Attention: Cincinnati Punk Rock Vol: 1 The 90's

This is slightly off topic but wanted to drop this here because it recently came out and is very nostalgic for me. This was my scene in the mid-90's and I was actually in 3 of the bands on this double LP. Overall, some of it is good, some of it is bad. The sound quality isn't great, but at least it's a free download. 

This was born out of the Cincinnati 90’s Punk Documentary group on Facebook, if you want to check that out. And if you want to grab the vinyl (limited to 500), it's here. Enjoy

PILLÄRS - Abandoned (2018)


DeadWinterMoon already dropped a link for this in the chat but I wanted to throw this up on the blog because I like this record a lot. This band is self-described as a Molotov cocktail of Sludge, Crust, and Doom thrown from Cleveland, Ohio. And they describe this record as eight tracks of Rust Belt fury weaving from D-Beat to Blackened Crust to Doomy Sludge. So, by now you should know what to expect.

FUCKED // TANPOPO CRISIS


GENRE: Grindcore, Experimental, Metal, Hardcore, Noise, Shoegaze

OK, from what I can gather here, Fucked is a side project to Tanpopo Crisis, which is a one-man experimental grind band from Canton, OH. Fucked seems to be more a straight up grind/hardcore punk thing, while Tanpopo Crisis mixes in atmospheric & shoegaze elements with grind stuff. Not only is one dude doing two different bands pretty impressive, the thing that is fucking mind-blowing is how prolific this guy seems to be! Between these two bands, there have been 11 releases with a total of 103 tracks.... since LAST AUGUST! What the actual fuck. Granted, a lot of these songs are super short, but still, that's pretty fucked up. This guy is either a genius or has a lot of mental issues. Probably both from looking at the bands' Facebook pages. So, if this sounds interesting to you, check out the links below, all of the releases are available with a "name your price" option on Bandcamp.
