Dark Thoughts (Philadelphia)
This is punk with one boot in 1978 and the other in tomorrow. They have the perfect knack of writing perfect 2 minute punk gems. Whilst Jim’s lyrics can be deeply personal, there is always hope, things are gonna get better aren’t they? – www.drunkensailorrecords.co.uk

Closetalkers
Blistering, raw, and very particular mutation of D-beat hardcore. A heavy dose of Scandi-crust blends with noisy Kawakami-inspired riffs to form an abrasive fury that is difficult to match. – www.maximumrocknroll.com

Pill Mill (Vancouver)
Speedy hardcore punk attack bursting at the seams with the same frantic energy that the X-Claim! roster excelled at. Turbo-charged riffs, manically paced drum fills, and distorted, sneering vocals ensure every box is checked, putting this in league with Neon Taste labelmates CHAIN WHIP. – www.maximumrocknroll.com
