Deal With It – World Coming Down — Dead & Gone, 2007

Deal With It is the latest hardcore export from the U.K. This five-piece group of fellas churn out five brand new songs on World Coming Down. And with the CD version you are gifted with the band's demo recording from last year.

World Coming Down is a high-octane blast of meaty hardcore that draws influence from the classic New York sound, but also has the swagger of modern hardcore. If you took the best of Leeway and Cro-Mags and mixed it with No Warning and Terror you'd have Deal With It. Lyrically, these dudes are pissed off about a lot of things, and with the current state of the world, who can blame them?

These songs are pretty ace, though I think that they are the type of band that really excels in the live environment. So hopefully they get to touring a bit more so that those of us in the U.S. can bear witness.

ATO (2026)

As I review Mariachi El Bronx's latest album, IV I'm not going to pretend I'm well-versed in the deep cultural tradition that inspired The Bronx to adopt this project well outside of their fiery hardcore "main project." Instead, I'll grade it on "do I like it" merits. And I definitely dig the rhythmic and festival Latinx flavors. If you're familiar … Read more

Hoaxed

Death Knocks
Relapse (2026)

There’s a fine line between dark rock that feels theatrical and dark rock that feels transportive. On Death Knocks, Hoaxed land firmly in the latter. This is an album that doesn’t just flirt with atmosphere but commits to it fully, wrapping heavy riffs, melodic hooks, and occult-tinged drama into something that feels natural and not staged. Three years in the … Read more

Carnivorous Flower

Carnivorous Flower
Dead Broke Rekerds (2025)

There's a time to be cerebral and there's a time to tell it like it is. Carnivorous Flower lives by the latter. Their debut has 10 songs: 18 minutes in total. Each of the songs is catchy as heck and you can pretty much singalong on your first listen. It's "simple" punk with peppy energy and a lot of heart. … Read more
