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.

Nightfreak
Big Neck Records (2024)

Semi-feral punk outfit NightFreak are back with a self-titled LP filled with breakneck riffs and 70s metal bombast. The Chicago group haven’t slowed down since 2022’s Speed Trials but they have filled out. NightFreak the album is lousy with warm back beats and melodic guitars; although, hardcore vocals and tight drums still reign supreme. Album opener “Blackout” is dead serious … Read more

Raw Muscle Power
Jansen Records (2025)

I’m pretty sure I became aware of Mike Krol when The Whiffs posted about playing some shows with him. Krol is a bit of an anomaly. Not only is he on Merge and collaborates with Mac Superchunk- a dream scenario imo- but he’s also been elusive of my fan boy attempts at cold dm’ing him about stuff even tho we … Read more
