A couple of quick updates: Some months back I peeped a new blog done by this guy Rob (who's also in the band Brain Dead who've just release a split 7" on Montreal/ Sherbrooke label Vinyl Addict) called You Breed Like Rats that was pretty cool. After making my way back there a few times to read some of the interviews that popped up (a good mixture of new ones and reprints with Citizen's Arrest,

So Cheap Tragedies came on a little Canadian jaunt and played a show in Toronto (Burlington, actually) and Montreal with us screwballs, Omegas. Good times, plenty of hi-jinx, and a good amount of recuperating afterwards. The good folks at Hardtimes.ca came out to the show at LBH in Montreal and interviewed Cheap Tragedies and put together a montage of some of the show footage, both of which

.... and this video pops up on youtube form their show at Huck Finn in Nagoya. I realize I'm biased, but.... awesome. Two dudes, loud & distorted music. I'm sure William and Omid are still recovering, but I hope to get the scoop on how it went shortly. In the meantime... dig the video:

1. I do regret having to refer to a conversation on a message board for this post, but some months back, Mike Scondotto or Inhuman fame spoke about Breakdown as a band that was "cool to like" and wear their shirts, but not actually cool to go see. Of course, this was in no way a dig at Yonker's best exports. I can't speak to Breakdown's heyday shows circa demo-era. However, '96 through '98

Well, here we are with the second part of the Battletorn interview. Again, this was a Battletorn interview that was done a while back by their friend Mary and submitted to Maximumrocknroll.... who, for some reason or another, rejected it. Rather than posting some more pictures with this interview, I'll throw up some of the artwork and flyers that have accompanied Battletorn on their journey thus

I generally try to keep label business separate from this blog, but for the time being our website is out of commission as far as substantial updates. But we've got some exciting news to share for 2008, and I figured here's as good a place to put it as any. As you can read below, we'll be working on a site re-design shortly and that, along with my tackling Dreamweaver will finally mean regular

This interview was done with the guys from Battletorn and I believe submitted to Maximumrocknroll, who didn't like it for some reason. Oh darn. It's a good read though, so you can now read about it here. A bit on the long side, so I'll post half now and half later. I suppose it would be a convenient place to mention that the CD version of "Terminal Dawn" with remastered "Burn Fast" tracks will be

A little while ago, Hugo interviewed me for his blog Lifers Montreal which he does with his boy Tremblay. If you're interested in anything I have to say, you can find it here: LIFERSMONTREAL. They have a lot of cool stuff up there, make sure to head over there every now and again.

Fed Up!- Lashing Out 7" It's a sad fact that you don't see too many hardcore 7"s coming out of the Big Apple these days, so respect to Fed Up! for taking on this format. Rough and tumble hardcore from New York City. There's a heavy Breakdown and Raw Deal influence on these tracks; imagine if those bands had been skinheads and came up in the 90's, and you might take a guess as to what Fed Up!

I was rather psyched at being able to do an interview with Tony Erba to talk a little bit about his current band Cheap Tragedies. At the risk of riding his nuts a little bit too much, I'll tell you why in a few points: 1. Hanging out is always a great fucking time and you can always talk some good rock n roll. 2. His current band rages. 3. His past bands have been at least awesome; at most

This will be a short little post dedicated to help "getting the word out" about a cool new project happening in Montreal by a couple of dedicated music heads. Last night was the official opening night of the Black Dot on St Laurent, located in the space left by le Local (and I swear that a record store was here some years ago that I got a Venus and the Razor Blades 12" and some Suzi Quatro LPs

Some of you guys may be familair with the radio show Anti-Emo Empire out of Connecticut, DJ'ed by Jeff Terranova (ex- Up Front member, and Smorgasbord Records honcho). Quite a great show, and a good dude to boot. He's had quite some cool guests interviewed on the show, and recently an archive of those interviews has been appearing on his website. Definitely check it out as there's some quite good

I missed out on their first 7", but their second one was put out by John from Out Cold on his Acme Records label. John's got as good an ear as any self-respecting hardcore fan, so I knew it was something to check out. Very speedy and rough hardcore that's a bit more adventurous and noisy than most bands out there will allow of themselves. Definitely a band I'd like to catch live one of these days

Someone posted a link to this on a message board somewhere (the Livewire message board, perhaps??) so I thought I would re-post it. It was cool to see some of these old NJ venues represented in this miniature video tribute. And, my god, it's probably been a good 10 years since I last thought about the Bowl-o-drome! Old New Jersey heads should get a real kick out of those. In other news, in

Well, we've finally got another interview up on this here Mad at the World blog, and I'm quite happy to have it with Boka of the very active Brazilian bands Ratos de Poroa and I Shot Cyrus, as well as the cool label Peculio Discos. As one of the most active members of one of the most intense bands from a very interesting hardcore scene, I was happy to have Boka agree to do this interview, and

I thought some of you folks might be a bit interested in this here short film. It's by filmmaker Drew Carolan, who took pictures of the crowd at some of the CB's matinees in the early to mid 80's. The pictures are great-- more posed pictures against a backdrop than crowd snapshots, but are quite awesome. And there's some priceless footage in there as well. See if you recognize anyone in there....

Here's that other bunch of 7"s I thought deserved the ol' review treatment. That should give you something more to read while I get my ducks in order for another sort of update with more material. I should mention that if you're in the Montreal area and feel curious enough about any of these records to pick them up (and they're all recommended), you can do so at Sound Central as they got copies

I'm hoping to get some more interviews up here soon-- I've got some good ones in the works! But take that with a grain of salt as I've been saying it for a while. I did take some time to write some words about some of the better 7"s that have happened into my paws as of late. Some of them are newer.... some not so much. They're all pretty good. I've got another batch I'll post in the next few

So, I held off on giving the track listing for this last episode of the podcast. It was a little experiment to see if it would have any effect on how many listeners the podcast got. I thought perhaps more people would give it a listen if they would be surprised and didn't know what songs to expect. Did it work? Well, many more people listened to this second podcast than the first one. CLEARLY,

Fear not, there is more content on the way for this here blog. A couple of cool interviews will be coming through the pipeline shortly, and I'll throw some more other writings up as well. In the meantime, though, I put together another podcast for your listening pleasure. Got a pretty good response from the first one and it seemed like a lot of people downloaded it (either that, or one person

Well.... it's been quite busy, but unfortunately I don't have any new reviews, interviews, or anything of the sort to post.... YET! Still working on it. But, I'm quite happy to present Dan Scheme's very first podcast. Which is the result of fucking around a good deal with this program on my computer and a shitty microphone that was using for Skyping before I got a VOIP phone up in here. Dan

Sorry to all the people that have been looking back here not to find any updates in a while. I hope to get some new reviews and interviews up here shortly. Some cool things planned that are currently in the works but have taken a while for some reason or another to get together. Aaaaanyway, aside from the above disclaimer, I just need to say that summer is rolling around, and I actually like the

Battletorn have most of their upcoming tour booked, and a number of dates will be with the great MIDNIGHT! (ex-Boulder clevo ripper!) They could use a little help with a couple of the dates along the way; drop them a line at outlawrecordings[at]gmail.com if you think you could help 'em out.
