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.

Yes, there is the Dan Yemin tree (Lifetime / Kid Dynamite / Paint It Black) but there are also poppy bands and emo bands and … Read more

Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs

Pigus Drunkus Maximus (Reissue)
Blind Owl Records (2026)

If rock ’n’ roll ever had a smoky, beer-soaked, throbbing heartbeat, it lives in Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs’ Pigus Drunkus Maximus. Recorded in 1981 but not released until 1987 on Restless Records, the album always felt like a document out of time — lightning caught like fireflies in clumsy hands, then bottled too long. This newly remastered reissue, … Read more

Dream Fatigue

No Requiem
Daze (2026)

There’s a particular tension that makes alternative rock compelling. I love the emotional push and pull between softness and eruption. On No Requiem, Massachusetts outfit Dream Fatigue thrive in that space, crafting a seven song EP that balances dreamlike melody with bursts of distortion and emotional urgency. Born from the creative partnership between drummer Matt Wood and vocalist Jonali McFadden, … Read more
