***"With members from all over the globe but located in Bremen, Germany, Inferno Personale have been carving out potent Hardcore Punk in a tasty combination of Japanese crasher-crust and European Harcdcore a la Wretched or Crude SS. With members making up past and present lineups of Muro and Ex-Dom and more—it isn't so shocking to expect something with the kind of high energy and intensity so prevalent in this, their second 12". The fact is, on the last tour with Chain Whip through Europe, they were my favourite set and raised the bar on what this style should embody live. I recall the Sorry State team having a similar experience with them while on their first tour out that way. Inferno Personale is an absolute explosion of high energy Hardcore exactly the way I like it. This is a co-release with France's Symphony Of Destruction so if you're out that way - order from them." Black vinyl with silk-screened, fold-over sleeve and two-sided lyric insert.

***There's a band that perfectly encapsulates the mean and dirty streets of middle Canada. That freezing, Prairie capital of Winnipeg Manitoba that's home to a busy art scene, abject poverty and brutal racism. The relief is in the waste. For all this there's JUG. Take Flipper's pace and Wiccans slow-burning ferocity and sear it to plastic. Here's their 4 track debut of Hardcore Punk with nary a care in the world besides ensuring the liquor store is still open and the boss isn't looking. If you ever need a soundtrack for when you feel that enormous zit on your back reach the aching stage. That one that you just can't reach. The one that throbs endlessly until you've finally had enough and you scape your back against the sharp corner of a wall and feel it burst in a stab of pain and wet relief. Here's an earful of Juno-worthy fury that you can turn on and smile, satisfied with yourself as the stain on your shirt turns yellow-y red and the staphylococcus begins to take hold. You deserve that soundtrack. You deserve all of this. After all you're Just another Ugly Guy(s). Ain't we all? 200 copies on black vinyl.

***We’re proud to announce the debut recordings by Haarlem’s Traumatizer. This is blistering D-beat with a handful of huge, metallic riffing and a vocalist that eats nails for dessert. There’s a blown-out production that brings to mind Bootlicker’s earlier recordings but where the Lickers line American Hardcore with No Future stomp, Traumatizer goes full tilt into the noize and grips you by the throat. There’s no pogo present, just rage and violence. Toss it on while you take the late-night walk home from the bar. These 6 tracks will make a compelling case that those darting eyes and high hackles in the alleyway are the threat you were worried about. Those focused pupils from an animal whose only option is to take as many of you with them as they can. You didn’t even mean any harm, poor you. But here we are, kill or be killed. Prey or predator. No one gets out alive, we just measure blood loss for points. No Export to Europe.

***Completely scorched-earth Crust. Extensive Slaughter blasted into the Vancouver scene with members playing in some of the best current Death Metal and Hardcore acts. Taking their moniker from UK Crust royalty, Excrement Of War, they’ve been the reason to get to the gig early for the last few months. For fans of Cotärd, Languid, Disclose, Disfear. First pressing of 400 on black vinyl.

***BACK IN STOCK!!! From the darkest corners of Drew Owen's (Sick Thoughts, Total Hell) mind come these 6 tracks of Metal Mayhem. The recording was called forth from the stinking city streets of New Orleans and released as a cassette in the witching hours of 2022 but we knew this rot had to be released on proper vinyl format and we're happily risking damnation to do it. Fans of Transylvanian Hunger or the 7" period of Midnight will surely be pleased with this festering mess. Metal-Punk with no Motorhead riffing in sight. Just seething, horny darkness.

***Recorded after an insane Euro tour in 22 with the Autobahns which repeatedly brought "THE BOX" to the edge of heartattack, they recorded this hot mess of a debut LP almost immediately afterwards. This direct, tight power really comes through especially via the rythmsection who are just the most handsome and nicest guys in rpck today—FELIX of POKY and AMBULANZ and "MANGEL-ANGEL" DENES aka DEE BEE RICH who plays in every band in Germany including LIIEK and ONKELZ. An eager Youtube troll commented "this sounds exactly like the people who play in this band.", which either means LAFFF BOX sounds like 4 white cis-dudes from East Germany or refers to the other bands they play with, which on top of the ones above are EX-WHITE & VERRÄTER for JOANS and LASSIE for MARIAN. Well make of it what you want it's fast and modern ( but without synths ) Punk with rocking sometimes Thin Lizzy style double guitars. Lots of crew shout double vocals also. Let it melt ya face off buddy.

***Total Rock 'n' Roll Annihilation. Ferment Pagans, Carbonas and The Rings in the minds of some maladjusted Ontarians and you shouldn't be too surprised to hear them come up with something as svelte as this. Originally released as a limited run cassette, we demanded that it get the proper treatment and knew that it had a home on Neon Taste. There are plenty of self-proclaimed "Rock n Roll" bands running around under the moniker that have never even heard of Sonny Vincent. One more injustice in a brutal and undeserving world. At least Anxious Pleasers can be counted among the modern-day heroes that keep that pure fire alive. We're here to set the record straight. Rock 'n' Roll is alive and well. Consider this testimonial.

***It's 2021 and Vancouver’s Bootlicker are back with their first full length. Experimenting with various lineups and sounds since 2017, these 14 original tracks flesh out their most realized expression. Following four EP’s and two demos, their self-titled debut stays true to the noise cultivated in the previous offerings. That raw, blown-out production countered with clean guitar sound and Internationally-informed take on a UK82 delivery remains. Everything that made the band what they were on their previous output is polished into a ball of fire that will not be contained. Their mid-tempo, menacing posture of tracks like "Herd The Sheep" and "State Of Fever" give way to the D-beat totality of "Master" or "Two Faced" proving there are still ideas in the tank. There won’t be much left but scorched earth by the time it comes to rest. FFO: Mau Maus, Discharge, SSD.

***San Luis Potosí's Cotärd have been shovelling the grime in Mexico since their initial inception back in 2018. They've established themselves as major players in the Mexican, DIY Punk Scene booking tours, driving bands and playing a perfected '90s style Swedish/UK, D-Beat/Crust. This new, 4 Track EP finds them laying into their particular blend of the dark and dismal and is their first release since their 2020 Demo and in their most focused and punishing form. The winded exasperations call back to the vocal stylings of classics like Doom and the musical D-Beat/Crust attack reminiscent of juggernauts like Disgust and Napalm Raid are clear and not unfounded comparisons. There's a bleak levity weaving through the relentlessness and it showcases that incessant brooding of the human existence. A not-so-subtle cry for a way out in a world gone mad.

***DEAD CELLS out of Vancouver do it dark, desperate, and minimal. An archaic sound from the gothic ages of punk - when punk was catchy, but also dangerous. Going back to the three chord song, with downstrokes, vicious energy, and the two minute deadline. Sacred by the outstaning artwork, it's night church in the post apocalyptic wasteland. Their first LP and follow-up to their 2018 demo tape which was overheared by many people. Desperation, angst and frustration pepper the words that twist and turn like daggers to the back of emperors. Twin guitar attacks carry melody and smart chord changes backed by a rhythm section that runs the risk of falling off the edge of the cliff. It's complimented by a brooding vocalist that half shouts-half sings.

***Gripe hail from Santiago, Chile and play Hardcore served up just the way we like it. Quick, hook-filled smashes that are perfect for the skatepark, late-night vandalism sprees and running from the pigs. Each track is short with no time left to fall into frills, breakdowns or other energy saps. Just pure, unadulterated Punk Muzik with a vocalist that sounds like he collapses after each track lets up. Sounds like Formaldehyde Junkies covering Circle Jerks. So, you know. Perfect. Included in this 12" is the new 9 track recording recorded last year as well as an incredible demo from 2020 that was released as a cassette and digitally in the same year.

***The drudgery of the last few months are over and we've got 4 new tracks of punk rock expressed through what sounds like plaque-caked teeth and furry tongues. "Blood On The Beach" is made up of four drunken gospels to the gods of Nowhere and Boredom. Keith's "I'd-rather-be-watching-sitcoms" vocals are backed up with a band that might not know how to do anything better than play American Hardcore the way it was meant to be played. Ferocity in salty leather and ripped jeans. Artwork by Keith Caves. RIYL Fang, Sick Pleasure, The Living.
