Mandible Klaw
Forty years into the hardcore genre, it’s tough to make an impression with something new. This Calgary-based band’s new record has done just that, by twisting and turning, bringing the unexpected. You start the record off thinking you’re in for some Kid Dynamite/Propagandhi style hardcore—totally fine if unoriginal. But after a couple songs you realize that’s not it at all: this is some Nardcore-respecting hardcore insanity! Wild, R.K.L.-inspired riffage, short, blazing solos, and the perfect balance of speed and aggression. The last time I heard a band get this style right was nearly twenty years ago when Holier Than Thou? dropped their masterpiece, The Hating of the Guts. If first impressions are any indication, Mankind Grind is destined to reside alongside that classic in the rock’n’roll nightmare section of your collection. – wastedwaxrecords.com

Western Death
Fast, heavy, modern punk metal from the old school underground. Dubbed the “new SNFU” of Alberta. They aim to please, and please they do. – https://www.wastedwaxrecords.com/

No Brainer
No frills.
No gimmicks.
No bullshit.
That’s No Brainer.
Fast melodic punk that is anthemic and aggressive. Marrying the speed and ferocity of 80s hardcore with the sincerity and harmony.

Harsh
Relentlessly positive while steadfast in its radical ideology, HARSH manages to walk the fine-but-vital line of being both challenging and inclusive. The band expands on the melodic lo-fi punk sound and vocal harmonies that are often associated with queer and feminist punk, with soaring guitar riffs that are heavy and, well, harsh. – https://www.sledisland.com/2023/harsh
