So it'd be fair to say that Thrash Hits isn't just a fairly UK-centric kind of website most of the time, but also a fairly London-centric UK-centric kind of website a damn near awful lot of the time. Huh. We figured we ought to do something about that. Which is why we called upon our man out in the far east, Tom Gibbons , to venture out to catch Fucked Up , Gallows , and Beijing-based Fanzui Xiangfa when they rolled into Hong Kong. Yes, Hong Kong in the People's Republic of China. [...]
Following the week that saw Steph Carter leave Gallows, Dave Lombardo get kicked out of Slayer, and Adam Duce and Machine Head part ways, Raz and Hugh talk about the various bits of music industry politics that invariably accompany a band member leaving an established act. And then they do some awful word-association with the 49 new bands that were announced for Download Festival 2013. At least it's over quickly. -- The Thrash Hits Podcast 021: Hiring'n'Firing - Music Business 101 [...]

© 2013 Anthony Barlow When Frank Carter left Gallows behind for pastures new, many were confused with the new direction the punk frontman had taken. His new band, Pure Love, have a more traditional rock and roll round and were far more melodious than the hardcore sound his fans may have been used to. In all honesty, I was never a fan of Gallows and Pure Love's first single reminded me more of, semi-novelty glam rock four-piece, The Darkness than the fresh, cool, punk n roll it was supposed to be. Regardless, I went into their [...]

A few years on from the US release there's now an official UK/Ireland self-release and a tour to support from Rose's Pawn Shop. Dancing on the Gallows - a dozen tracks of fast moving bluegrass beefed up with drums and electric guitars, combining the old and the new into an album chock full of foot stomping tunes, the band take their name from an "act of revenge" by one of the bands ex-girlfriends, the former band mate stole the band's instruments and kit and deposited them at a local pawn shop - Rose's .

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Music Appreciation Alexisonfire Facebook Last August, Canadian post-hardcore darlings Alexisonfire called it quits . After two years of touring behind their fourth and final album, 2009's Old Crows/Young Cardinals , the band revealed in a blog post on their website that singer Dallas Green had left the band to continue his solo career as City and Colour and that guitarist/singer Wade MacNeil [...]

Well, it's all been leading to this. The votes are in, the results have been tabulated, calculated, and any other kind of mathematically something-lated you can think of. This is the Thrash Hits Top 20 Albums of 2012. And just how did we work this out? We took everyone's individual lists, and gave each album a score from 1 to 20 depending on how high it fell in the list. We then added up all the points, and voila - the collective list was born. In the case of a [...]

So we've already published part 1 , part 2 AND Dep Ed, Hugh Platt's Albums of the Year lists, so now it's time for the next stage of #RaziqRaufsReignOfTerror. Here's the eclectic and ridiculous list of Raziq Rauf. While he's happiest writing an introduction about himself in the Third Person, he, like Hugh, stuck to the rules. Pretty much. All 20 albums are from 2012 and there aren't any Best Ofs. There aren't even any EPs actually. He's just not that DIY. He's explained his Top 10 because he [...]

Ever wonder how hardcore singers can scream and growl their way through entire concerts night, after night? On today's Rock it Out! Blog episode, we caught up with Wade MacNeil and "Lags" Barnard from the UK hardcore band Gallows to get a few tips on what it takes to be a true hardcore vocalist. We also discussed what its like to be a band that operates its own record label, if their popularity has changed since bringing Wade aboard as the new leader singer, their impressions of the current hardcore scene, and where we can expect [...]

Tiago Dias Defenestração musical para mais um dia de crise. Não me sentia assim desde um qualquer álbum de Fucked Up que incitava a destruição maciça de todos os objectos móveis em casa. Mais do que destruição maciça. A sua pura e asséptica defenestração. À qual se seguiria a minha, aterrando no telhado do prédio vizinho – nu -, prestes a agarrar um qualquer lençol lavado e pendurado na corda para me baloiçar perante às crianças que nunca tinham saído de casa [...]

Oh, hardcore, what am I to do with you? At this point so much music called “hardcore” has far more in common with metal than punk. British crew Gallows definitely fits in this camp although they haven’t gone quite as far as many American Victory Records – type bands. Whatever you want to call it there’s plenty of gang vocals, half time mosh parts (to let the guys in the pit rest), and spittoons full of young male anger and angst. All packed together here on the band’s third, and self titled, album. The beginning of the album [...]
Ladies and gentlemen... THIS GUY! Vest Metal posterboy. Hey, there's lots of new music! So quite wasting time and get to listenin': I really dig Gallows - like Cancer Bats, they're a little more hardcore than metal - the ethos of the former with the production of the latter and the harmonic structure of both. [...]

Gallows - Gallows By Richard Wink When I was into all that shouty stuff in a major way, and by that I mean when I was a punk, with principles and ideals, I believed that Alexisonfire would crossover and become one of the biggest rock bands in the world. I’m talking Muse, Foo Fighters, Green Day and Kings of Leon big. I thought Dallas Green had a great voice that would carry the band over the airwaves and into people’s hearts. Alexisonfire never broke through the glass ceiling. [...]

Aimee Mann – Charmer (Superego Records) Até a gigante Billboard já definiu esse nicho como um gênero formado: o Pop Adulto. Se esse gênero se tornasse um verbete no dicionário ou uma seção de enciclopédia, ao seu lado, lá estaria uma foto de Aimee Mann . Aimee Mann é a definição máxima do pop adulto, fundindo sempre Fleetwood Mac , Joni Mitchell , Jazz e seu estilo próprio de "Singer/Songwriter". A cantora ficou célebre ao emprestar canções para a trilha do clássico moderno Magnólia , de Paul Thomas [...]
Hey DOODZ! Nice to see you! And it's great that you're here, 'cause you know they say: "A Shit That Comes Out Today a day keeps the herpes away." (If STCOT came more than once a week we'd really be on to something!) Anyway we've got all the new hard and heavy jamz to make [...]
