The calendar turned again and I all but blew my load last week on Halloween so I’m still playing catch up. Good times. Speaking of times, we fell back an hour and I HATE it. I feel like what little bit of time I had is gone…vaporized. Just like that. I’ll get over it eventually. Anyway, new stuff this week kicks off with punk vets Agnostic Front who still manage to not only make me smile but get me beyond stoked for new things. Call it reminiscing or whatever you want but these dudes can still kick all the asses!! Following that we’ve got mathgrind extraordinaires Pupil Slicer back with the FIYAH, Beastwars just keep on being consistently great at their deep riff driven brand of metal, and Norilsk do doom like very few others can. As if those four weren’t enough, we’ve got a ton more in the list that follows so check them out and throw some love at something.
