Gripe-The Future Doesn't Need You


Short. Fast. Loud. The three things many hardcore bands try to capture, and for a good reason. It sounds sick. Gripe; a three piece from Athens, Georgia is a band that do it right. Their most recent tape-only release, The Future Doesn’t Need You, is a nonstop assault of disorienting, bone crushingly fast grindcore that can send anyone into a tail spin. I love it. Unfortunately the band's singer, DJ, left to pursue personal interest. But according to their facebook they plan to continue on without him. They have a seven inch record in the works titled Pig Servant, I'm unsure if DJ will singing on the album or if the new singer is. Either way it should be good.

No Use for a Name - Self Titled 7''

No Use for a Name is a gnarly hardcore punk band formed in San Jose California in the late 80's. This record has 4 tracks, and features a young Chris Dodge of Spazz, and Despise You on vocals. Definitely has that cool 80's sounding vibe that only bands from then can pull off. Check it:  http://www.mediafire.com/?z8bwg5d1pt7e0xv

Deterioration/Birth

I saw Deterioration in June of 2010, but I didn't get this CD until last month. Deterioration's side is my personal favorite, but Birth's side is also pretty interesting . Both bands play grindcore, but are as diverse as you can get in that genre. Deterioration has a more 'typical' sound, with high pitched singing and more guitar driven songs, while Birth has more guttural vocals and seems to be more bass oriented. Either way both bands kick ass. Deterioration's side has 7 tracks, and Birth's has 8 with a combined time of 15 minutes. Shred your fucking head :  http://www.mediafire.com/?g3kvi6j11gpikbj
