Inhuman – Last Rites — I Scream, 2007

Inhuman have been around since the dawn of time. Well okay, fifteen years. They are always pegged as "The Most Underrated Band in NYHC". Quite a feat considering the number of bands that hail from the five boroughs that have been around for a decade and never got their comeuppances. I honestly haven't heard much from Inhuman besides a couple of compilation tracks that never made an impression so I don't know how Last Rites stacks up against their back catalog. Nevertheless, Inhuman does sound like a New York hardcore band with plenty of metallic riffs, some very stomp worthy mosh, a couple stabs at nu-metal/buttrock, and singer Mike Scondotto is a dead ringer for Lou Koller of Sick of it All. If you like NYHC then Inhuman will satisfy your dreams of you wanting to live in Queens and wear a matching velour track suit.

Lub Dub
Dirt Cult (2026)

Ok full disclosure, I sung backups on (allegedly) three of these songs and one song is a cover (albeit a stretch lol) of a song I co-wrote. What can I say tho? I was a fan of The Dumpies from the get go, before we all became very close friends and constant tour mates! Dub music diehards might be a … Read more

Nobody’s Going To Heaven
Red Scare (2025)

There’s a specific kind of punk record that doesn’t try to inspire you, doesn’t bother offering solutions, and doesn’t pretend things are going to work out in the end. Nobody’s Going To Heaven is firmly planted in that tradition. Elway returns sounding less interested in rallying cries and more invested in documenting collapse as it happens. They cover every collapse … Read more
