Review: Cold Hearted – Lunacy
Cold Hearted is a Hardcore band from Florida playing tunes like they’re from New York. I first found out about them looking through Bandcamp pages endlessly.

The lyrics are angry, caustic, and laced with cynical commentary of everyday life. They’ve all spent their … Continue reading
Review: Palm Reader – Bad Weather
Palm Reader is a band from England that first got my attention because of the custom spray painted editions of their self titled EP. I wasn’t too siked about what I heard; it felt like a Bastions 2.0, the dark emotional kind of hardcore that is very popular in the UK. However, they really grabbed … Continue reading
