Geek Punk, NZ Rhymes & Hardcore

KIDS LIKE US - Outta Control (2005)

I love this record! A hardcore band from Florida with genuine hardcore music with spiteful rage but a good feel to the music. I would put it in the same vein as Mental, Outbreak, The Warriors,Suicide File. They are on Eulogy records and the have other releases. One is a split with The Mongoloids (who are a fast hardcore similar to KLU) and another E.P called The 80's are Dead. That release is awesome too. The link is from another blogspot so good luck.


JILTED JOHN - True Love Stories(1978)

I came across this from a friend a few years ago. Kinda geekish Punk rock with a bubblegum pop type of feel. It kinda reminds me of a mix between The Buzzcocks, Atom & His Package, MC Chris, Math the Band & The Ramones. Quite a fun album.

HOME BREW - Summer Ale (2009)
Also another post is a Auckland, New Zealand Hip Hop group, who is little known but is WAY BIG in my books. HOME BREW. This is the most recent of his releases but he has a conceptual E.P, Titled Last Week, and has another E.P, called Home Brew Light, both of these e.p's I have been putting tracks on every day!

Hello

Every Man For Himself @ Thrash Palace, Hamilton.

Just an update and stuff. I have provided a link to this blog from the old EMFH blog I had and didn't use so hi if you found that!

So I've been busy with shows and travelling and what not.

These shows were rad

Thrash Palace - Hamilton

Hard Times @Thrash Palace with me on vocals and Shaun (emfh) on guitar.

Also Punkas.com forums have been down so I haven't spent heaps of time on the net.

Also I am going to be organizing a special show (2 nights) which is influenced from Hamilton's Circle Jerk.

This link is past years CircleJerks from 2005 with recordings of each band live set.

Circle Jerk is a show where Hamilton bands cover 2-3 hamilton bands songs and one original e.g Dick Dynamite and the Dopplegangers covered Antagonist one year, the Shrugs got together with MC Stormstroopa and covered HDU and so on and so forth.

I will be organizing an Auckland version of this including bands from all over auckland. This will be mainly focused on Punk/Metal/Hardcore bands.

Look out in Early August.

More information on the Hamilton Circle Jerk here.

Peace out for now.
