Population Reduction – Each Birth a New Crime — Tankcrimes, 2008

Like weed? What about beer? Okay, here's the clincher: what about loud as shit cynicism rammed into your sloping skull at diarrhea speed? Yeah? Check out Each Birth a New Disaster, the first album by Population Reduction, a two man grind band from San Francisco that drills your eardrums with blast beats, the blackest of thrash riffs, and death metal shrieks that sound like razor blades straight to the vocal chords. They even have a joke or two at the expense of cock rockers, yuppie scum, and traveler kids. Fans of the late eighties Earache catalog, Slayer, and getting wasted take note. Is it fast? Hell yeah, stupid. The LP comes as a gatefold with artwork so putrid it's almost nauseating. This one's for the hash addicts and sickest of speed freaks.

In Your Gaze
Time To Kill (2025)

If you didn’t know, hardcore and punk are alive and thriving in Italy. When I come across bands from there, their scene never ceases to amaze me. Italy gave us Raw Power and Negazione in the ’80s, Slander and Strength Approach in the 2010s. Now 217 picks up that lineage with their own mix of fire and reflection by keeping … Read more

Absinthe
Hovercraft Records (2025)

Contrary to what I said on Vh1’s Behind the Music, Tim from Hovercraft is one of my favourite human beings. I suppose in some ways that’s not saying much but Tim plays in one of my favourite bands, I’m a fan of his art and on top of those two things and running a label, his day job is saving … Read more
