This compilation features six of Philly\u2019s best Punk \/ Hardcore bands and marks the first vinyl release for Strange Mono. All proceeds are being donated to Prevention Point, a harm reduction charity serving Philadelphia and the surrounding area.
\nMesh \u201cPotato Head\u201d\u2013 Philly based four-piece punk band Mesh released their well-received self-titled tape in the Summer of 2020, and haven\u2019t released new music until now! This opening single titled \u201cPotato Head\u201d is a brief, explosive homage to classic synth skronkers Devo.
\nAdded Dimensions \u201cTime Blind\u201d\u2013 Sarah Everton, formerly of Blowdryer and Bleeding Rainbow, returns with her newest enclave, Added Dimensions. Added Dimensions is an exploration of New Wave and classic punk peering through a distorted, dystopian kaleidoscopic lens. This single \u201cTime Blind\u201d explores feelings of malaise and existential exile delivered with an effortless-feeling catchy melody. The sound is electric and metallic, like licking a battery.
\nShitty Wizard \u201cBust Through The Crust\u201d\u2013 Philly\u2019s Shitty Wizard are masters of comically perverse and nihilistic hyper-infectious party punk. Taking cues from bands like Mondo Bizarro era Ramones, GG and The Jabbers, and The Dead Boys, they deliver explosive rock n roll that prods the listeners with sardonic beer-soaked unbridled earworms. Hot licks, caveman drums, and guttural catchy vocals make \u201cBust Through The Crust\u201d every hesher\u2019s wet dream. One listen and you\u2019ll be drinking gas and pissing fire like a real psychedelic cowboy.
\nNothing Is Over \u201cThink Long and Hard\u201d\u2013 Hardcore punks Nothing is Over deal in unrelenting Powerviolence that is equally pummeling and enlightened. On their single \u201cThink Long and Hard\u201d, the group hammers the song into your skull with dogged, chaotic yet dialed drums, powered by 80\u2019s hardcore riffs which lay the foundation for clear and powerful primitive vocals.
\nProgrammed Hatred \u201cPower and Control\u201d\u2013 Half man, half machine, Philly\u2019s Programmed Hatred are a grab bag of power electronics, hardcore, powerviolence, and cyber punk inundated with samples and a heavily anti-capitalist, anti-police ethos. Their newest single \u201cPower and Control\u201d is a forty-five second nuclear war. This song takes a bleak, spastic yet memorable jaunt into a digital hardcore hellscape.
\nConcrete Caveman \u201cDoom Scrolls\u201d\u2013 Concrete Caveman take a calculated, sadistic, yet artful approach to extreme music. They are masterfully-versed in punk and metal, and their songwriting is a brutal blend of these genres. Their newest single \u201cDoom Scrolls\u201d is a mid-tempo, heavily-textured, expansive composition. The guitars bleed metallic dirge over pulsing, stompy drums in a focused and controlled arrangement. The vocals are largely influenced by toothy classic American hardcore, feverishly barking and snarling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
