Bukkake Boys: 2nd EP 7" - 2nd EP by this vicious hardcore band from Atlanta, Georgia, and while the Bukkake Boys call their hometown the "City of Pop" you won't find any of that here. If you heard Bukkake Boys' self-released first EP, Splendid Thoughts, then you're already a fan. If not, prepare yourself for some of the most violent and aggressive hardcore you've heard in a long time. This one is all frantic riffs, vocals that sound like they're going to eat you alive, and one of the meanest-sounding drummers out there. 7 songs and not a second wasted. Mailorder gets white vinyl (limited to 200 copies) and a Bukkake Boys badge. Sorry State Records #20.

Thurneman: Tegelsten För Tegelsten 7" - 3rd EP by this Stockholm, Sweden quartet, and it blows their other two outstanding efforts out of the water. Defying easy sub-sub-genre categorizations, Thurneman take the raw materials of straightforward 80s hardcore--blistering drums, frantic riffing, and hoarse, shouted vocals--and flesh them out with creative song structures and unique atmospheric touches. This potent combination of aggression and catchiness brings to mind early 80s classics like Hüsker Dü's Everything Falls Apart LP as well as Scandinavian rippers like Headcleaners and Missbrukarna. Mailorder gets blue vinyl (limited to 200 copies). Sorry State Records #21

Sceptres: Flatline Generation b/w The Tow 7" - Second single by this jagged, female-fronted post-punk band whose members are spread across the lower half of the UK. If you liked their first (extremely limited) EP on Dire you'll love this one as the band returns with more of the same intricate guitar work and smart and catchy female vox. This time, however, the songs get a little bit longer and darker; these two tracks are more dynamic and far more confident, the the band finding their own unique voice somewhere between the propulsive punk of the Rezillos and the jagged rhythms of first-wave post-punk bands like Swell Maps. Dire Records #6 (US distribution by Sorry State)
