Exit International bring super-short songs and simulated psychosis to the noisy-angry-trio formula. Sex w/ Strangers has never been quite this dirty… or fun.

Ceremony take it right back to the dawn of hardcore on Rohnert Park… and then spice up the shouty stuff with a liberal application of the very very odd.

This is the fourth studio album by Superbutt. They’re big in their homeland of Hungary, you know… and by all merits, they should be fairly big over here, too.

Solace take the Small Stone staple of stoner riffola and spice it up with a generous pinches of thrash and hardcore on their fifth studio album, A.D.

Ocean Bottom Nightmare are three skinny lads from Nottingham; “What Would Judas Do?” is three-and-a-bit minutes of deconstructo-core weirdness, and more-ish.

Brighton-based UK sort-of-supergroup Blackstorm blend sludge metal and hardcore to captivating effect on their debut Rise Rebel Seers EP. Listen to it NOW.

Ready to riot? Then ditch the clichés of 1977, and prepare to jump around and break stuff to the schizoid garage-punk of Bitch Songs by Die! Chihuahua Die!

Bored of angsty and schizoid guitar-driven post-hardcore? Maybe you should try the piano flavour as offered by French three-piece My Own Private Alaska.

After The Ordeal may have won some Download airplay with their bedroom jams, but first single “The End Never Comes” doesn’t get a medal just for showing up.

If you think the title The Rising Tide (Part 1): Corsa Al Ribasso is pretentious and clunky, wait until you hear the music Djevera put on the album of that name.
