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.

Instead, it succeeds … Read more

Western Interests
Total Agency (2026)

I’ve been reading Cory Doctorow’s latest book “The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI” a scathing review of the current state of artificial intelligence wherein he seeks to pop the AI bubble. In the book’s central metaphor Doctorow identifies the centaur as someone whose work is improved upon by technology vs the reverse centaurs who are competing with and/or … Read more

Glory Days
Syrup Moose Records (2026)

There’s a form of folk punk that treats every song like a drunken campfire confession with all its ragged shouting and romanticized self-destruction. Then there’s the version that feels mature and more reflective. It’s less interested in glorifying collapse and more concerned with figuring out what comes after it. Kyle Burnett’s Glory Days firmly belongs to the latter category. Best … Read more
