HOC has a killer interview in this months Thrasher Magazine. (Dec 08 issue). Check it out. While your at it check out the video below. They used a HOC song for it. Killer skating and a killer thrash metal band. It doesn’t get much better then that!

Thats not exactly new news cause they have been back for about a year now. However here is a video of them doing a new song live called ‘Shock Collared and Caged’.  Yes we will be doing a new release for The Bristles with all new material very soon.

Now we bring you some hardcore Jersey punk with a touch of oi!

1. Artist: Tire Buddys
2. Title: “Stick in the Mud”

Its with great regret that we have to tell everyone that another good friend has passed away. Brian was a founding member of ‘The Crusties’ and helped write many of their songs . After ‘The Crusties’ Brian went on to play in many bands and even sing for ‘The Motherfuckers’.

Brian could be wild and crazy on stage , but in real life he was one of the nicest guys. Yeah he had his faults like all of us , but honestly the guy didn’t have a mean bone in his body. Brian loved to play and listen to music and he always enjoyed hanging out with his friends and meeting new people. He of coarse was always up to jam with anyone, anyplace at any time.

It wont be the same without Brian around ,but I’m sure he has gone to a much better place.Well miss you buddy.

To all our friends in St. Louis, we’re bringing two pretty killer bands to town.

On October 19th we’ll have Parasytic, metallic hardcore/punk from Richmond, Virginia in town. This band is on a pretty lengthy tour of over 2 months (at least!).
Check em out at www. myspace. com/parasyticrva.
Come out and support this killer band and 2 ear shattering St.
Louis bands known as Dude Nukem (http://www. myspace. com/dudenukemstl)and MCF (http://www. myspace. com/mcfband).

Another St. Louis show will be on November 9th. We’ll be bringing L.A. Cross from Brooklyn, NY to APOP Records. L.A.
Cross (http://www. myspace. com/lacrosslacross) has an old school metal sound that I personally can’t wait to hear live.
We’ll be joined by MCF(http://www. myspace. com/mcfband) and Incineration (http://www. myspace. com/incinerationmetal) on this night. This show will start at 630PM and be over by 1030PM.

We’re in the middle of booking another tour starting on Halloween and ending on November 9th. Below are the dates we have so far. We could use some help booking some of the dates that are currently available.
