In The Face Of War - We Make Our Own Luck - Detournement #001 - 2006
-- Tuesday, February 27, 2007
This is some rocking hardcore, fueled on a vegan diet. Think of an in your face Hot Water Music. Like "punch you in the face" Hot Water Music. It gets super jangly at times though. I kept finding myself turning the volume down. It definitely isn't appropriate for yoga as evidenced by a door slamming in the background at my house. So don't attempt yoga with this one.
You can read up about In The Face of War on their website or over on myspace. Both pages have music, merch and news. Everything you need to keep up with these guys.
Gather - Beyond The Ruins - xCatalystx #023 - 2006
I'm going to start by saying this is my least favorite kind of hardcore. Going to shows throughout the mid 90s made me really dislike this style of music. I just can't listen to it anymore. HOWEVER I have to give this group props.
Not only are they fronted by a female lead singer, but they all are vegan straight edge. When was the last time you heard of a band like that? It takes guts to be so different from every other act out there. Earth Crisis meets Doughnuts? Maybe. Chokehold vs. The Swarm meets Acrid? Likely.
Get some more info on Gather over on myspace. Listen to a few tracks, check out some pics, read up on veganism, the straight edge and feminism. Good times.
