***After 4 years of silence, Impotentie return with 9 new songs crammed onto 12" of wax! Moody and urgent music steeped in 80's German and Belgian punk with nods to the post punk influence of later 80's Oi! Featuring members from S.H.I.T., Stigmatism, Justice, Dead Stop, Glue, Institute, Secretors, Hysteric Polemix etc. From the band: "This record is black because nothing's changed. Those Leopold II statues are still there, and so is the racism. It's about dealing with the disillusion, the cynicism of realizing the fascists are winning. It questions what's bleak about Belgium on a personal level—memories of growing up in social housing, the endless downpour, the abuse, wanting to leave. 'Without Title This Time', because slogans didn't work, nor did the protests. Accepting how bleak things are while pushing onwards, chanting on the final notes that 'we keep going'".

***New York City’s invigorating Italo-hardcore outfit Mirage are back with a new 12" Legato Alla Rovina. Their latest release shifts ever closer toward the forefathers of classic Italian punk with eight new tracks in the vein of Nerorgasmo and Upset Noise. Martial drums and commanding riffs are the backdrops to sonorous mad-preacher-style vocals while maintaining a reverence for post-punk influence.

***Building off the rhythm section of Discharge’s Realities of War EP with a crasher crust influence and a vocalist channeling Sakevi’s maniacal howls. Five tracks not unlike the sounds of a machine shop, a circular saw on cement, or Jaws of Life extracting someone from a nine-car pile-up. Unrelenting blasting, stomping, and fuzz.

***The international four piece offers its first sacrifice to vinyl with a barrelling new EP as a follow up to their 2021 demo. Five tracks of demonic speedy metal-punk by the way of crude Sabbat style riffs, featuring nods to Tormentor. All hell breaks fast and loose in tandem, and the howling, cacophonic Spanish vocals make this release uniquely its own. No Export to Europe.

***Vinyl debut! 10 tracks of straight forward hardcore punk recorded directly to 8-track tape. Expanding on the mid-paced rock n' roll style riffs featured on the 2020 demo tape, Peace & Love continues with this sound but is not strictly limited to it. The band knows what they want to sound like and they succeed with an honest representation of midwestern disgust. Members of Organ-ism, Necron 9, Democracy.

***After years of silence, Pura Mania make a surprise return! The band shares members between Vancouver, Canada, and Ciudad de Mexico. Despite the distance and borders between them, Pura Manía breaks through with their signature brand of upbeat, anthemic punk, picking up right where their previous LP left off. Three new singalong songs take influence from '80s punk from Spain to Rikk Agnew's All By Myself 12" as well as classic Oi! and a curveball Screamers cover that the band manages to make their own. In the spirit of DIY punk and international punk solidarity, this is a split release between CV Records (Mexico) and Discos Peligrosos (Japan). Covers screen printed in Mexico.

***Following up from their 2019 demo tape (repressed as a flexi) NYC’s Secretors return with 6 new tracks influenced by Japanese bands such as Kuro and Mobs. While the demo relied on a blown out drum machine to provide the relentless d-beat, these new songs were recorded with a live drummer, as well as the addition of a 2nd guitarist, cranking the intensity up a notch from the previous release. Acting as the Roachleg Records unofficial house band, Secretors are fronted by Rottweiler who runs the label and features members of Warthog, Thee Nodes, Urchin, Institute & Glue.

***Ragdoll Dance is the 4th album by New York-via Texas punks Institute. Most underground punk bands don’t make four albums, but it makes sense for Institute. Even on their earliest releases, Institute’s sound teemed with possibility, drawing from a long history of anarcho-punk, post-punk, and hardcore, and fusing those aesthetics with great, classic-sounding songwriting. Ragdoll Dance finds Institute back with their original lineup (including Albert from Nosferatu and Altar of Eden on drums) and returning to a DIY approach to recording, working both at home (using the same setup as singer Moses Brown’s solo project, Peace de Résistance) and with Joe and Owen of D4MT Labs, whose gritty yet vital recordings have documented some of DIY punk’s best contemporary bands. Institute also chose to work within the international hardcore community to release the record; Brown plays drums in Secretors alongside Joe from Roach Leg Records, whose label is known for releasing some of the noisiest, most fringe recordings in the punk sub-underground (across the pond they’ve gone with the iconic La Vida Es Un Mus). While Ragdoll Dance is culturally embedded in the world of DIY hardcore punk, musically it tends to move back toward the more eclectic sound of Salt and Catharsis. The album’s title is a nod to Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Brown also cites arty post-punks Magazine as an influence on the record, which shows on tracks like “City” and “Where’s It Go,” energetic, left-of-center pop songs that challenge but also gratify.
