Inertia. – 2011 – Peace.Awareness.Action

Inertia. is a hardcore/punk/crust band heavily influenced by 70’s and early 80’s hardcore music and anarcho themes. This Ep it’s really really short and that’s the way this has ta be done! It’s really good, the loud spoken messages in some tracks make it even better, and the quality it’s straight forward from the amp and drums, perfect for this type of music. 

Just to clear shit up, Inertia. Is another project of Ryan from Aim For Your Head and Hollow-Eyed and to be honest, this kid seems like a creative fucking bastard, 3 different releases in one year and all of them being good on their own terms. + AFYH drummer plays in Inertia. too, so it has ta be good by pure nature.

Don’t miss Ryan’s new stuff with Hollow-Eyed, I heard they’re doing something new right now! You can download Peace.Awareness.Action right HERE!

Hollow-Eyed – 2011 – Worcester Noises

You better put a descent volume level while playing this Ep, not too loud, but not too low… and you better do this at night. Maybe you should turn off the lights and while you’re at it you should drink a glass of wine, sit back, relax yourself and think twice if this what you really want to hear… Cuz you’ll either die or feel alive by listening to Hollow-Eyed. 

This record just doesn’t fit in a solid standard base, and it might not be for you if you’re not well used to fucked up music made by fucked up people. Worcester Noises is sick, twisted, vibrant, violent, dark, experimental and brilliant. Ryan (Guitar+Vocals & 1/3 of Aim For Your Head) described this project as a weird folk experimental thing… and this might be just that for some ears, but it’s creepy as fuck once you truly listen to this…

I really enjoyed this, brings thoughts in my head and emotion my heart and that’s something doesn’t really happen often… Even the artwork is sick In brief, you should really listen to Hollow-Eyed and decide for yourself whether is something you might like or not. I’m really looking forward for more music by them. You can download this Ep for free or by donation right HERE! Along with their previous release which is also really good but less heartbreaking as this one.

Aim For Your Head - 2011 - Plagues EP

Alright, This band is from New Jersey, that’s right! Like New Jersey from the Jersey Shore with Pauly-D, Snooky, The Situation and the hometown of lots of my fav bands! I knew bout Aim For Your Head existence trough a live video and I liked what I heard. Then, Shane (vocals+guitar) contacted me trough the AV facebook page and told me that he loved my shit and that he was jamming FCUKU nonstop, he told me about his band and I was like “ooh yeah, ya have some nasty vox, I like it!” And then, our beautiful relationship started, ooh boy, we were young.

After a while, these guys finally released their Plagues EP, and to my surprise I was in their thanx list along with my boys, Night Gaunts! To be honest, I still dunno why haha. I guess it’s cuz I’m cool, like the latino dude from their hood or something like that, ese. What Can I say about this trio besides of what a bunch of nice people. I like em, Ryan (Guitar) and Shane are awesome and I don’t really know the other dude. I like the music they’re doing and I loved the live shit they do, also I love three pieces, that’s why AV’s live band is only 3 fucks. 

About their release, well, the truth is that is ok. I don’t try to sound like a dick, but the recordings kinda disappointed me, sounds just ok. I guess I expected more from their live shit and believe me I know about sounding like shit either live or studio, I hate the mix and recordings in all of my songs, especially in ASATIJ. I know, I know, this is genre is not well known from their quality in recordings, but Plagues sounds plain to me, the guitars barely sound and kinda sound the same, drums are there but just doesn’t sound right and the amazing live vox Shane has, it’s not in there. There some weird tempo in a few songs, like no click track maybe. Another thing that disappointed me is that some of their songs start like a rip off from The Infested, which is cool, cuz The Infested are cool, but it’s not that cool while you’re not The Infested. “Dude, AV is a rip off of Leftöver Crack, you cock sucker”

Eitherway, Aim For Your Head is great, especially live! The EP didn’t do justice to their sound. I like them a lot and to be fair, it’s their first release and it’s pretty good.
