Sworn Enemy are for a certain type of hardcore and metal fan. If you didn’t like them before for some stupid reason, Living On Borrowed Time isn’t going to change things. And that’s good for the rest of us.
The new album from veteran Sal LoCoco’s street smart crew continues to meld thrash and late 90’s Biohazard-esque mosh core with a certain “maniacal” savvy, anger and conviction. Titles like “Do Or Die” and “Hard Way” plus spine crippling double bass and Overkill-type 80’s thrash solos are arm in arm here with pit friendly distorted havok. It is always refreshing to hear something this pissed, violent sounding and yet capable of making old riffs sound new again, not to sound too critical. The band are walking familiar ground, but the spirit and performances remind you what you love about this type of shit.

Blues punks The Bobby Lees (Sam Quartin , Kendall Wind , Macky Bowman, Nick Casa) have been tearing it up on stages in Upstate, NY and around the country. While you may recognize Quartin from movie roles like the (forthcoming) Run With The Hunted and Let Me Make You A Martyr , this band is not a novelty project but a full fledged rock n rollercoaster. They totally scorch the stage with a howling sense of purpose and poetic sting, capturing a primal and at times even fun energy on Beauty Pageant . Feral animals and ghosts hiding in the trees agree that this band is the shit. This record and group truly deserve to be heard, so head to their Bandcamp and blast "Deem Em Dead" now. You can say you knew 'em when.
