New Blood

“New Blood” is our weekly feature spotlighting new bands from around the world! See below for info on how to submit. Now, check out some killer new shit…

Band name:
THE CAVEMEN (NÁ˜T those kiwi-chest-hair twirlers §â„˜, not Ug and …, NOT Nick Cave, NOT Cave Beat, NOT Primitive Man, NOT Ancient Filth, DEATH 2 ALL FALSE CAVEMEN). We are not ‘MEN’ – we represent ancient mankind in all it’s filthy forms.

Date & location formed:
October 2015, Θn the corner of N. Beacon and Life st. Allston, â’¶ssachusetts.

Reason for forming:
To take Rock and Roll back to square one. Bands be trying SO DAMN HARD to sound like Cro-Mags but ‘not racist’ and D.R.I. but ‘serious’. And frankly, ever since Supercharger kicked the bucket music hasn’t been dumb or bad enough.

What are your lyrics about?
The Primeval & Ancient STRUGGLE of EXISTENCE

How would you describe your sound?
REAL, REAL BAD. 2-3 chords per song – I dare you to count. 

What’s in the future for this band?
D. Baggy left for warmer pastures, as did Yrrap. Couch keeps the dream alive with a crew of 7 now known as “Thee Cavemyn*” . But, D. Baggy is busy assmbling the Philthadelphia chapter of The Cavemen to wage war against the Boston chapter.

Band name:
COMMANDO

Date & location formed:
November, 2015, Rochester, NY.

Reason for forming:
Russ and Brandon (who play in a metallic hardcore band OBSESSOR) wanted to start a late 70s style punk band for over a year, and Alex (ex-Skate Korpse) had moved back into Rochester after living in New Orleans for a few years. It’s a perfect line up and the rest is history.

What are your lyrics about?
Struggle, triumph, snow.

How would you describe your sound?
Dark, energetic punk with some melody. Mainly influenced by 70s punk, and 80s hardcore to an extent.

Releasing records, playing in and around Rochester.

Anger, angst, dissatisfaction, hating conformity, hating yourself, identity issues.

How would you describe your sound?
Early US hardcore like The Germs, Jerry’s Kids and SSD. Hardcore punk for hardcore punks.

We’re releasing a 7″ early 2017 and going on a midwestern tour in the summer. If anyone wants to help out with either of those things, hit us up.

MISSION CREEP

Date & location formed:
Washington, DC in winter of 2015.

Reason for forming:
The exorcising/ exercising of demons personal and otherwise.

The soul crushing feeling of indecisiveness about what to do with your life and the extent of actual agency you have over your existence in a capitalist world. Alienation/ aliens. Ghouls and ghoulish behavior. Unflattering drug habits.

How would you describe your sound?
Spooky/ scary. Like if Christian Death, The Chameleons and Killed by Deathrock Volume 1 all worked at the same Spirit Halloween store.
