Your Fall – Your Fall — Hurry Up!, 2008

I know nothing of the Brazilian hardcore world, nor will I pretend to know anything. In fact, the only things I know about Brazil are they love football (Americans should read that as soccer) and they gave us thrashers Sepultura. Outside of that, I'm just a naïve no-nothing.

Your Fall is from Curitiba, which, from what I can gather, is the New York City of Brazil

I think. It's a hardcore breeding ground; that's all you need to know.

This is the band's first proper release following a demo. You get ten tracks of New York-influenced hardcore: thick and groove-heavy hardcore that is comparable to titans like Madball, Leeway, and Cro-Mags. Your Fall deliver hardcore you can bang your head to, dance to, or just sing-along with. And guess what? The words are in English, so you don't need to translate it - always a plus from foreign acts.

If Your Fall were from the U.S. you'd probably be hearing about them as much as you do Bitter End and Alpha & Omega. If you dig it, grab this from Bridge Nine, as they're carrying it here.

Overcalc

Fruits of the Decision Tree
Sleeping Giant Glossolalia (2024)

Some instrumental records create atmosphere while others create movement. Fruits of the Decision Tree feels like it creates an entire environment. It’s unstable, mechanical, strangely beautiful, and constantly in motion. The solo project of Nick Skrobisz (Multicult, The Wayward), Overcalc exists somewhere between electronic experimentation, prog-level guitar precision, ambient drift, and full on sci-fi hallucination. Trying to pin it cleanly … Read more

Fangus

Emerald Dream
From The Urn Records (2026)

The needle drops, and there’s no introductory sweaty handshake. Fangus doesn’t care for niceties; they’re ready to get down to brass-knuckle business. With their debut full-length, Emerald Dream, the Montreal quintet has exhumed a sound that feels less like a tribute to the early '70s and more like a master tape found rotting in a damp basement behind a stack … Read more

Drakulas

Midnight City
Dirtnap, Wild Honey Records (2026)

I’m assuming Midnight City is the “fictionalized New York-esque metropolis” where the band/gang members of Drakulas survive(d in the mid to late 70's;). It’s also the third album by this Austin TX based, concept driven supergroup. Not really sure if I’m supposed to out these dudes but their secret identities include members of Riberboat Gamblers, Rise Against, High Tension Wires … Read more
