On Sunday, April 29th, IHEARTCOMIX and FYF are teaming up to bring you Memphis bred, Portland based crust punks, Tragedy. Following the demise of influential crust punk groups His Hero is Gone and Deathreat, Tragedy has been respected for years within the DIY hardcore scene and have been know for their heavy, apocalyptic presence. Expect doom and chaos with a mix or melodic undertones, as well as a mass riot on the floor. Tragedy will be performing at the Echoplex alongside Nails, Skin Like Iron, and Children of [...]
[See post to watch Flash video] His Hero Is Gone - Chain Of Command More Than Music Fest Columbus, OH 6/28/98 I wasn't properly introduced to Memphis' His Hero Is Gone until they put out their split 123 with Union Of Uranus back in '98. Their style of crust/metal never appealed to me as much as the Uranus side, but HHIG live was a whole other story as this video attests. As an aside, I'm really digging Todd's Copout shirt in this video. [...]
MASAKARI is a an ancient Japanese Battle axe, it is fitting that the band named themselves after a weapon used by warrior monks. Playing a blend of apocalyptic crust and D-Beat in the vein of G.I.S.M, His Hero Is Gone and Discharge.

They recently signed to Southern Lord and will be releasing a full length titled The Prophet Feeds . Download Eden Compromised below. For fans of: G.I.S.M, Crust, Japanese Hardcore, His Hero Is Gone Download [...]
There's only so many hours in a day, and there's so many bands out there. No way you can check them all out in one lifetime. Many are bound to pass under your radar or slip through the cracks. But what about the ones you're aware of but don't bother to check out? What if one becomes a favorite and you kick yourself for not discovering it sooner? Which bands did you take forever to check out, and why? - Francesco Ferorelli - [...]
TUCUMAN ARDE: COUNTER INFORMATION AND THE CREATION OF AESTHETIC AND CULTURAL MILITANCY If there is one thing in my short visit on this planet has taught me, is that the relationship between art and politics is a pretty much a hot mess on your chest. Some would say that without politics there can be no art, and others would take the vice-a-verse stance and tell you that without art - politics would suffer as well. I find that art and artists that wear the skin of the liberal activist are amongst some of the most [...]
" Hispaniola is a miracle. Mountains and hills, plains and pastures, are both fertile and beautiful … harbors are unbelievably good and there are many wide rivers of which the majority contain gold…There are many spices, and great mines of gold and other metals…" -- Christopher Columbus, report to the Court of Madrid 1492 "They…brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for glass [...]
First Podcast of the year! The end of the Podcast gets all fucked up. I've been having problems with the spoken parts skipping towards the end (a combination of not enough RAM/the compression cutting things out), but this is the worst. It's also the longest one I've done, so I'll just cut them off at half an hour in the future.
