Dead Rejects [USA]


2012-PRESENT
Two guys from Bayonne/Jersey City, NJ who play crack rock. They got also a drummer for that EP.
EP is nice! I'm not a huge coffee fan but i like the title of it and the idea. There is also a strong pop punk influence in the music, which must admit, i enjoyed too. And i liked all the tracks, even though You Make Me Sick has kinda primitive lyrics.

If you play guitar or drums and live in the local please feel free to message. Looking for a full band for practice and eventually shows. With a mix of sounds from bands in the Skacore/Rock Steady genre like No Cash, Loc, The Infested and Atrocity Solution with some more influences from some more poppy punk bands like Descendents, Screeching Weasel and even Sum 41. Of course the influences dont stop there! - Dead Rejects

Members:
Shane Sparacello - vocals/guitar, Adam Cichocki - drums/bass (on "Sleeping If For Suckers" Ep), Joey Dwyer - bass.

Blame The Name [Canada]


2006-PRESENT
Crack rock band from Sherbrooke/Montréal, Quebec. Well.. They are truly into DIY, guys self-released all 3 albums. Few of you may have heard them on a comp "Fuck Yourself World Wide" with a pretty nice track Take The Blame (from Do Well In Abuse). Finally, got my hands on the latest release. Its good, strange no one have scrobbled it yet on last.fm. Check em out.


Members:
Youric - vocals; Jf - guitar; Wawa - bass; Savage - drums.

Smackjoint [UK]


2006-PRESENT
Ska-core band from Colchester/Ipswich, England. In the end of last year they released a pretty strong The PostGenericSkaCoreDubFusion E.P. Very interesting and rich sound. Its hard to find weak points. Just sad only three tracks. If u like Random Hand, The Junk, Harijan ud like them. They definitely deserve more listeners. And we need that long-play out! =)

"Smackjoint has been a concept for many years but took it's first form in 2006 as a 4-piece playing shows around Suffolk, UK. As this line-up "The SkacoreThrashPunk E.P" was created. After a few more years in 2009 Jim and Ben were enlisted into the band; introducing the opportunity to include the Horn-lines that were always destined to be in the tracks and free up front-man Stanley from the Bass. After a further 2 years of perfecting the songs and gigging the scene, Smackjoint decided to record the 3 track "The PostGenericSkacoreDubFusion E.P" with Peter Miles (Who produced such bands as The Skints, Random Hand, Sonic Boom Six and The King Blues) and started reaching out Nationally. Now with a Trombone player on the sidelines Smackjoint are writing a 10 Track L.P due for summer 2012."



 Members:
Stanley Bludfire - vocals; Petey von Reilly - guitar, vocals; Lonagon - guitar, vocals;
Jimbo prime - bass; Joshurawr - trombone; Ben Jammin' - sax; Henry Warclart - drums

Harijan [UK]



2004-2010 [RIP]
This was a brilliant band from Manchester.
They shared few members with The Fractions. Played ska-core with a strong horn section.
Tracks from the split are the best.
I wish i could get all their older stuff somewhere and in better quality than 96.

Mike Corrigan - vocals; Rick Hill - guitar; Andrew Williamson - guitar; Ian Eccles - bass;
Alex Dowson - trumpet, Robert Garstang - alto saxophone, Joe Tatton - trombone;
