Defeater-Travels Digital Download - $ 8.99

Defeater has launched out of the north shore of Massachusetts with their debut album Travels.

Defeater has a wide array of influences and at first listen, you'll hear tracks reminiscent of Botch and Deadguy mixed with traditional hardcore. Ethically influenced by bands like Fugazi and musically by Minor Threat and Modern Life Is War – Defeater is no copycat band. Jay said, "We have been careful to know where we are going before we start driving there. It's important to us to flesh out mood and place instead of just blindly sitting down with my guitar hashing out riffs." He continues to say, "…I wanted to make a record that you could get into even if for some reason you don't care about the meaning behind the lyrics, but at the same time I wanted to make sure the listener to at least knows that there is more going on lyrically
than a bunch of non-interconnected thoughts and emotions."

This release features the full album download with the lyrics.

Polar Bear Club-Sometimes Things Just Disappear Digital Album - $ 8.99

Polar Bear Club is Bridge Nine's newest signing. This is their debut album released in early 2008 on Red Leader Records. Following its release, the band went from a side project based in upstate New York into one of the most talked about bands in underground music. Reviews of Sometimes Things Just Disappear were nothing short of incredible-with Alternative Press calling it one of 2008's Essential Albums amongst praise for those who got the album.

Fresh off US tours with Gaslight Anthem, Crime In Stereo, American Steel, Broadway Calls, and A Wilhelm Scream, Polar Bear Club is set for 2009 to be their year.

"Their career is off to a great start and I'd bet that Sometimes Things Just Disappear will be looked back on as the start of something great. "-Punknews

"Sometimes Things Just Disappear is not an album that comes along often. Polar Bear Club are able to combine an intense passion in every aspect of their band with great musicianship. I’m not sure what more could be asked from a band."-Absolute Punk

Polar Bear Club-The Redder The Better Digital EP - $ 3.49

Polar Bear Club's five-song debut EP available in 192kps MP3 format. Out of print on CD and currently unavailable on Itunes, this is really one of the only places you can find these songs as we speak. This is the five song burst that put Polar Bear Club in motion-and you should really be familiar with these songs. Featuring the songs Election Day, Resent and Resistance, His Devotee, Parked in The Parking Lot Of Your Heart, and Most Miserable Life-get learned.

* This release does not have a lyric sheet in the download.

"The one, and only reason this EP didn’t get a perfect score is because it just left me wanting it to be an album, left me wanting so badly to hear another five songs. There’s not a single bout of inconsistency or weakness in any of these five songs, it’s just as strong and cohesive a unit as these songs are on their own. Unquestionably, the best EP I’ve heard in years."-Punknews

PAINT IT BLACK Amnesia DIGITAL EP - $ 3.49

Paint It Black is the most consistent band in hardcore. They have made one thing known-they are going to give you hardcore that is melodic at times, ferocious and discordant at others and Dan Yemin’s lyrics will be angry, poignant and at times, humorous and sarcastic. Most bands with this pedigree would rest on their laurels, but as Paint It Black has shown the only thing they’re going to do every time is mix it up- one minute is uncomfortable and furious, the next minute cathartic and energetic, and closing with "Bliss"-the song described by Yemin as "sounding like Fugazi having a three-way with Jawbreaker and Nirvana."

This download features the MP3 files at 192kps with a PDF lyric sheet.

DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR Our Glory Days DIGITAL EP - $ 2.49

Death Before Dishonor is a band that is still challenging perceptions, this after spending the last four years consistently on the road. Our Glory Days EP features two songs from the upcoming full-length Better Ways To Die, "Coffin Nail" and "Our Glory Days," the latter of which features guest vocals by fellow Bostonian Mark Unseen. The B-side is a tribute to the Bruisers with a cover of "Intimidation." It's a precurser of what's to come on July 28th when Better Ways To Die is unleashed the world. It's Death Before Dishonor doing what they best- somewhere between the harder punk edge of Rancid, the working class anthems of Dropkick Murphys, the hardcore attack of Hatebreed and the precision and fury of Slayer.

This download features Mp3 files at 192kps with a PDF lyric sheet.

Cruel Hand-Prying Eyes Digital Album Download - $ 8.99

Cruel Hand has released the surprise album of 2008. Following last year’s Without A Pulse, the Maine natives focused on one important question-What Would Cliff Do? Taking the no-frills attack of their debut, Cruel Hand’s new album Prying Eyes takes the foundation of Cro-Mags, Leeway and Madball, and the band runs it through blender with early Metallica and COC to end up with a relentless album that’s got riffs, breakdowns, and ferocity that all hit the listener head-on. Call it metal hardcore or hardcore metal, Prying Eyes is a 12-song call to arms for a band that is just getting started. Expect to see them in every corner of the globe over the next twelve months.

Ceremony-Still Nothing Moves You-Digital Album Download - $ 8.99

Ceremony Still Nothing Moves You is a disturbing and challenging accomplishment and what's so great about it is that it is an impossible album to describe in comparison to other bands or previous artists. Following the release of Violence Violence in 2006, Ceremony forcefully defined what it is they do as a band and in the process, they catapulted themselves into the upper eschelon of hardcore and punk music. Punknews called Violence violence "a modern hardcore masterpiece" and Ceremony's recognition came all the way from Alternative Press, who lauded the band as one of their 22 Bands Who Won't Stay Underground for Long as well as giving the band a full-page feature in 2008's "Bands to Know" issue. 2007's Bridge Nine ep Scared People was hailed as 2007's EP of the Year by Punknews once again, but until now, the band had yet to record a full-length album for Bridge Nine until now.

Ceremony's Still Nothing Moves You was recorded with Dan Rathbun at Polymorph Studios (Tragedy, From Ashes Rise, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) and it's the perfect mix of clarity and quality of a professional recording without losing the dynamics and grit of a punk recording. Still Nothing Moves You takes what groundwork has been laid and adds new levels of dissonance, power, and even new tunings to the world of hardcore, further defining Ceremony as a band that can only be referred to as "for fans of Ceremony."

Have Heart-Songs To Scream At The Sun- Digital Album Download - $ 8.99

Have Heart launched onto the worldwide hardcore scene in 2006 with the release of their debut full-length The Things We Carry. The world of hardcore was caught by surprise, and calling the album “breakthrough” would be an understatement. Reviews were nothing short of flawless, with Punknews.org saying, “It's impossible for words to do this album justice.” The album received multiple “Hardcore Album Of The Year” nods and extensive press recognition such as being named one of AP’s Bands To Know. The band went from a regional hardcore band with a passionate following to Boston’s worldwide hardcore torch-bearers that would play every continent except Africa and Antarctica, selling out shows everywhere with Bane, Ceremony, Verse, Madball, Terror and even playing 50,000 person festivals in Columbia with Coheed & Cambria. So the ultimate question is this-how do they follow up the last two years?

Songs To Scream At The Sun is the result of those two years. Lyrically and vocally, frontman Pat Flynn puts forward nothing short of ten intense and chilling songs-opening up personally in a way he only hinted at for The Things We Carry. As frontman Pat Flynn said, “Songs To Scream At The Sun is the coming of age story. It’s about the growing process of a young kid shaking the chains of selfishness, but it’s everything about what you lose and gain in that process of growing up.” The songs have an honest, yet poetic reflection that digs deep into the private lives that are shared by everyone-the deconstruction and dismantling of one’s life and the eventual rebuilding and rebirth. This is at times dark and depressing, but Flynn’s lyrics never lose hope in what allows people to get strength in these situations. And what’s so strong about the performance and lyrics, aside from the cliché of hardcore singers “meaning what they say” is that the perception of the lyrics-are they dark, depressing, positive, or hopeful?-is up to the listener to decide.

Songs To Scream At The Sun was recorded with Kurt Ballou of Converge at God City Studios. Combining Ballou’s signature grit and style of record with Have Heart’s style of music-it results in a dichotomy of clean, sharp drums and a variety of guitar tones and sounds that combined-does not hint at one particular or obvious influence. Musically, there are moments which are mid-tempo and melodic, there are moments that are classic hardcore anthems, and it’s balanced with times which are dark and atmospheric. It's an impressive accomplishment.

Verse-Aggression- Digital Album Download - $ 8.99

Verse Aggression is a rare album. It's not often that hardcore bands will make it to a third full-length, and it's even less common that the third full-length is a band's most desparate and angry album to date. Making their name well known simply by working harder than just about any band in hardcore over the last five years, Aggression is the culmination and intersection of that experience and a wide array of influences. "A New Fury" opens the album with frontman Sean Murphy screaming arrhythmically over the band, and the six and a half minute "Story Of A Free Man" is something very few bands could pull off-a three phase narrative spread over three tracks that play seamlessly together. This album proves that Verse is just getting started.
