This lot are probably my favourite band in the UK at the moment.
Proper hardcore punk.

panzerkreuzer - 1-31-2010 at 11:33 AM

i´m listening a lot trc at the moment. seems that the uk has a serious scene again.

BDx13 - 2-1-2010 at 11:40 PM

i love this.
everyone here should give these new tracks a listen.

dunno why, but DBS's vocals grab me immediately w/ injury time, but not really with kartel.

panzerkreuzer - 2-2-2010 at 07:51 AM

the only problem i have with kartel is, they need a second guitar. the cd sounds so thin.

mattybar - 2-2-2010 at 07:54 AM

i just joined 'em on second guitar!
did my first show with them in December

BDx13 - 2-3-2010 at 12:25 PM

so... when a band signs with rucktion, are they contractually obligated to add you to the lineup?

mattybar - 2-3-2010 at 12:28 PM

hahaha no
years ago when Kartel first started, i begged them to let me join on second guitar.
they finally buckled after 7 years.
i'm just a bit of a band whore really.

just started a fourth band last week and i'm not even joking!
still very early days but i'm excited about it.

BDx13 - 2-3-2010 at 12:41 PM

sure, why not?!

SS76 - 2-3-2010 at 01:02 PM

Love all three new songs. Nothing At All is my favorite :flaming:

mattybar - 4-8-2010 at 05:41 AM

The album is finally ready!!!
Just arrived this morning although I still can't quite believe it until I see them myself.
Available on the Rucktion webstore now
www.rucktionmusic.com

The Ambush album has arrived too.
Give them a listen as they will be hitting up the states for a bunch of shows this summer.
I think they are playing Philly, Baltimore and maybe NJ but not too sure yet.
Excellent dudes to drink with even if you don't like the music haha

BDx13 - 4-8-2010 at 05:54 AM

nice.
when are they shipping?

mattybar - 4-8-2010 at 06:11 AM

i think they are ready to go as of now, mate

panzerkreuzer - 4-8-2010 at 07:08 AM

matty, before i order. is it possible to get a bastard lovechild demo from rucktion?

mattybar - 4-8-2010 at 07:34 AM

yes you can
however, there will be another BLC demo coming soon and you can get both demos on one disc if you want to wait. could be quite a wait though.

do you know Joerg aka IH8YH?
He's doing the artwork so will have a bunch of the new ones.

bombidol - 4-8-2010 at 07:40 AM

Matty I was asked to get you lads on the line up for WIC here in Dublin. But I dont think its going to happen now going by what MAD are saying.

mattybar - 4-8-2010 at 07:42 AM

that would be fucking awesome!
we really want to get over there this year.

Yeah it should be B'more, PA (not sure if that is gona be Philly or Bethlehem yet!), NJ, somewhere upstate NY and maybe VA.
When I have all the dates confirmed i'll put them up.
And Matty is totally right, they are the BEST dudes to drink with, try catch up with them if you can.

mattybar - 4-14-2010 at 07:06 AM

First review of the album:

"Imagine a pub with a small stage, some half drunken musicians and a rowdy drunken bunch of people in the front, theres no moshpits, theres no stagedives, theres no pointing fingers. the only thing you notice is a million sing-a-longs and raised beermugs and fists! This is the kind of crowd Injury Time's debutalbum "THE VEX" is written for.
The overall feeling to this record is best described as 'pretty fast and damn catchy', songs like SKUNKNUTS and RETURN TO DUST are the most melodic and punky tunes i've heard in a very long time from a hardcore band, especially "RETURN TO DUST". The chorus of that song could as well have been from an early Dropkick Murphys record. Most of the tracks don't even feel like Hardcoresongs if you compare them to the rest of todays hardcore and thats exactly what i love about the record. It dares to be genuinly oldschool with a lot of punk-influence, some parts even have a crust-attitude.
The anatomy-style low-fi artwork ads to the overal 'f**k you' feeling. The sound of the record is perfect and doesnt need to hide behind records from big bands / labels.

A top-notch record for everyone who likes it rowdy!"

panzerkreuzer - 4-14-2010 at 07:38 AM

good review.

bombidol - 4-14-2010 at 10:48 AM

mattybar - 5-17-2010 at 07:11 AM

panzerkreuzer - 5-17-2010 at 07:25 AM

please tell me where and when. i´ll be there for sure!
hope my cd arrives the next days!

mattybar - 5-17-2010 at 08:42 AM

here ya go dude

http://www.013.nl/event/3272_slapshot

panzerkreuzer - 5-17-2010 at 02:00 PM

good line up. see you there.
will you play more mainland shows beside this one?
although the slapshot tour is quite short, i can make it to at least three shows.

mattybar - 5-18-2010 at 04:22 AM

i don't think we're doing any other shows with Slapshot but we're looking for another Holland show on the Saturday night and I think we're coming over to Belgium in July, I think it's the 16th of 17th. I'll post up details when I hear em.

Also, Gar if you're reading, I heard last night that we will hopefully be hitting up Galway and Dublin in October. Dave is talking to a guy called Mick who lives over here and says he knows you...?

BDx13 - 5-18-2010 at 07:23 AM

Really Matt?
A guy called Mick?
In Ireland?
Aren't they all?

:tumble:

mattybar - 5-18-2010 at 07:35 AM
