Footage has been released from Tragedy's show this past Saturday at the Barbary in Philadelphia. So excited to finally get to see them again this coming week during CHAOS IN TEJAS! It's been too long.
Lambgoat released the first look into the new Earth Crisis record, Neutralize the Threat, which is being released through Century Media this summer. Below you can stream/download the new song, Raise, before the album drops in July.
Tyler, TX. It's a dead zone. Don't go there if you have T-Mobile and expect to have reception. Having said that, this show started out as an odd mix of hardcore and "crab"-core, but all of the latter bands dropped, so it ended up being just a solid Texas hardcore show. There were bands representing DFW, Austin, San Antonio and even Longview, TX, which was a pleasant surprise.
This was a sort of homecoming for our guitarist who grew up there and spent most of the 90's playing in bands [Eleventh Hour, 1066, etc] and putting on shows. Needless to say, this was not the Tyler he had left behind.
We rolled into town around 2:30PM and made our way to the venue, which turned out to be the hollowed out shell of a former strip club. Pulling up the show, we were asked to step out of the vehicle by the promoter of the show and handed "VIP" wristbands. Border Patrol tactics is not how you treat VIP's. We were scheduled to play at 5:00PM, but come to find out 5 bands had dropped, the set-times got shifted around.
Being that we didn't need to be there til later, we opted to leave Austin earlier in hopes of catching TRUTH. Due to the schedule changes, we arrived earlier then needed. Burden Me opened up the show, followed by Truth. Now Truth plays pretty straight forward Youth Crew styled hardcore. It's fast, positive and Straight Edge. They could use some fine tuning, but overall did a good job. They're new, so I forgive them. They just need to stick to it, and get their shit on lock. They did cover BOLD, so that scored them major points.
Prior to our set, Seth of Losing Grip asked me to speak to a group of misguided youths in neon clothing who were way too young to be smoking tobacco, so I obliged. After scolding them and pretending to call the cops on them, to which they freaked out, I told them to come watch the next band. They obliged. I think we were the only band they actually saw throughout the entire show. It was a fun set. People seemed into it, including one dude whose dad is younger then both our singer and guitarist.
I was kind of all over the place, so I can't remember which bands I saw, but a group of us did leave for a minute for a pizza buffet break before Losing Grip's set. After a short drive and 20 slices of pizza later, we got to the show and caught the latter half of Humanerror'shttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif set. Unfortunately, we missed End Times, but there was pizza pie in our eyes.
This was advertised as Losing Grip's last show, but I hope they consider doing at least one last show at home. Regardless, it was as solid a set as I've ever seen them play. The riffs were heavy and the mosh was ignorant. I was told after the fact that I smashed one of the dudes from Truth repeatedly in the face. Sorry, bud. Last show or not, I'm glad I was there to see them play.
Unfortunately, we had to dip before Power Trip played, but I heard it was good. I got word of chair mosh. I fully support chair mosh. YouTube user, sleeveywonder888 posted videos of Truth, Cosmic Rite, Black Body, Vaste Burai and Power Trip, so go check those out.
Austin's NIGHT SIEGE is scheduled to release their Power of Death LP on Nation on Fire Records on June 25th. Pre-orders are already available through the label's BigCartel page. The record will be available on Clear Orange (/125) and on Black (/375), and the label has them both available for pre-ordering. You can go over to Night Siege's BandCamp for a preview of the new LP. The song, Shackles Await, was just posted to the page, but Mind Trap and Sacrifices have also been made available for listening/download.
ALSO, if you happen to be in the Austin area, Night Siege will be playing a show with the Burden, One Against Many and Botfly on May 28th at the Parlor in North Austin. Come out and rage with us.
Texas heads best be making plans for May 21st. MoshFest is going down in Tyler, TX and plays host to some of Texas' best up-and-coming hardcore bands. Austin will be well represented with Losing Grip, Cutting Losses and One Against Many doing our thing. You'll find me on bass with both One Against Many and Cutting Losses that day. We, One Against Many, will also be playing a show with Mother of Mercy, Stick Together and Power Trip at the Broken Neck in East Austin the night before. It's after MoM's San Antonio show the same night, so it's gonna start after y'all's bedtime. Come and kick it.

Reposted from http://lambgoat.com This tour is going to be insane. You will find me at both the Austin and Dallas shows. Words of advice:
DUCK AND COVER
Ringworm and Nails will team up this summer to co-headline the "Death Comes Ripping 2011" tour (of which Lambgoat is one of the sponsors). Bitter End and New Lows round out the bill. Here are the dates:
7/30 San Francisco, CA @ 924 Gilman 7/31 Anaheim, CA @ Chain Reaction 8/1 Mesa, AZ @ Nile Underground 8/2 La Cruces, NM @ Trainyard 8/3 Austin, TX @ Red 7 8/4 Dallas, TX @ Trees 8/5 Little Rock, AR @ Downtown Music 8/6 Kansas City, MO @ The Record Bar 8/7 St Louis, MO @ Fubar Music Venue 8/8 Chicago, IL @ Subterranean 8/9 Cleveland, OH @ Peabody's 8/10 Albany, NY @ Bogies 8/11 Boston, MA @ Great Scott 8/12 Philadelphia, PA @ TBA (no New Lows)
Todd Jones, vocalist and guitarist of Nails commented: "I'm honored to be a part of a tour where I am genuinely a fan of each band. I feel this group of bands together has something to offer for everyone who has ever been interested in underground heavy music. I'm excited to see Furnace play in a Godflesh shirt every night."
Ringworm's Human Furnace added: "All of us are siked as all hell, to get out on the road this summer. Can't wait to unleash songs from the new record on people and watch their faces melt off. Going out with NAILS is gunna be killer, too. Those guys fuckin' rip. Yeah, this tour is going to be epic."
Houston based punk rock band, the Energy is currently streaming their second album, Get Split, for free through their BandCamp page. Chock-full of a certain relentlessness, a certain restlessness. Upbeat and unforgiving, Get Split is a solid follow-up to The Energy's First Album, which I still listen to regularly. This is definitely a record for those who need some rock'n'roll in their life. Suitably lo-fi and wall-to-wall riffs with wailing leads that could skin a cat. I can't guarantee that this record won't drive you to the edge of madness, but at least the road to your demise will have a good soundtrack.
