The manically depraved New Jersey hardcore punk outfit, Altered Boys(whom I featured in the fourth edition of former weekly column Cryptic Passages last year) are back with two brand spanking new tracks just in time for their upcoming Spring tour. The two tracks, “Left Behind” and “Choosing Sides”, feature the same frantic Altered Boys powerviolence-bordered hardcore sound reminiscent of 2000′s bands such as Knife Fight and of the more recent SPINE and are currently encased in a limited cassingle format via tape aficionado label, Bleeding Edges. Pick up the limited tape here, check out the stream and full tour details below, and be sure to be on the lookout for a new 7″ from the Boys via Deranged Records. Continue reading »

Los Angeles hardcore group, Rotting Out, are currently streaming a new track entitled “No Clue” off of their upcoming 6131 Records sophomore LP, The Wrong Way, exclusively over at Terrorizer.
Here’s what vocalist Walter Delgado had to say about the track:“No Clue’ is the song that was pure anger on the record. Fuck the bullshit, fuck the fakes, fuck everyone in my life that never gave it to me straight. Didn’t try using metaphors or clever lines because I wanted it to be organic and raw.”
Pre-order The Wrong Way here and be sure to check out Rotting Out on their upcoming West Coast tour with Milwaukee brethren Expire, details below. In addition, for our fellow California Aftermathers, Rotting Out are shooting a music video tomorrow at Unit B Skatepark in Santa Ana, poster and details for that event are also below.

The Dillinger Escape Plan has released a new video for a track off their upcoming record, One of Us is the Killer. The Mitch Massie produced video is set to the song “When I Lost My Bet”. The spastic, heavy hitting track is accompanied by very, very strange and violent images that are hard for me to describe. It’s like a David Lynch film gone completely mad. Check out the macabre video below as well as their current touring schedule.
One of Us is the Killer will be released on May 14th.
