***BACK IN PRINT!!! DESTRUCT deliver an absolute crusher of a debut LP following a couple recent, well-regarded demos. The sound is one that you know and are familiar with; Stoke-on-Trent, Scandanavia, and Japan, but it has been executed to its absolute maximum and captured with a clear and powerful recording. Huge, catchy riffs. Exacting rhythm. Howls of defeat, agony and pain. Taking a time-honored formula, they have lent their hand to making an album that has again breathed new life into the genre. Echoes of Life is a testament to the power of paying respects to a classic sound while simultaneously pushing it forward to today. It’s the sound of an enormous door closing in the depths of hell. Ten-million tons of TNT dropped on your head. Edition of 300 copies on light purple vinyl. Includes brand new 23"x23" poster.

***“For Progress…” serves as a mirror to a failing world. Continued environmental devastation, genocide, fascism, decaying civil liberties, algorithmic surveillance, new and ever-evolving weapons of the War Machine. And for what? Progress? Progress in their hands is a death sentence. Nine songs of hardcore punk in its most primal, stripped down and rawest form; channeling the ferocity and focused chaos of forbearers such as Discharge, Varukers, Disclose, et al; a stark reminder that straightforward, earsplitting cries of frustration and dissent remain vital as ever in this era of despair, as there are more reasons than ever to fight back.

Twelve tracks in 24 minutes. Cover art by master punk artist Joe B. Each copy of the first pressing is accompanied by a 22x33 inch fold out poster graciously illustrated by Japanese hardcore punk legend, CROW.

***Damn ... 15 years since this record first came out! Originally released on Feral Ward in 2006, No Moderation rips through ten blistering tracks of no frills early 80's hardcore; taking the speed and ferocity of Jerry's Kids, FU's and Koro and combining it with hook-laden so-cal punk sensibilities of Adolescents or Agent Orange. No Moderation is held by many to be GOVERNMENT WARNING'S defining record, and it's available to the masses once again.

***The second offering from San Francisco's PRIMAL RITE. Following up an impressive debut single, "Complex Life of Passion" delivers a barrage of pure sonic brutality, drawing on an array of influences ranging from classic thrash and OSDM to Japanese and Clevo Hardcore. From the EP's looming intro to its pulverizing close, Primal Rite manage to bring nothing less than sheer hardcore devastation from start to finish, firmly asserting their position as a band to watch for in 2017.

***Originally released as a tape in 2014, the first recorded output from this Washington DC band channels the sheer brutality and precision of crossover classics like Animosity, Cause for Alarm, and Best Wishes, without straying too far from the rawness and reckless abandon of hardcore punk. With the release of their debut LP this year, it made perfect sense to get these tracks onto the 7" format where they arguably should have been in the first place. What you get on this EP are four blistering cuts and a Discharge cover; the perfect introduction to one of the most promising hardcore bands going on the East Coast today.
