Daymares – Cant Get Us All — Self Made God, 2007

Daymares hail from Poland. Yes, that Poland. Prior to this release, the band had nothing more than a roughly mixed demo, which mixed 90's metallic hardcore with brooding metal. And here's why you should take notice

Can't Get Us All is the band's debut full-length. Comprised of eleven songs, three of which are re-recorded from their demo, Can't Get Us All is an excellent mix of the intensity of Integrity and Damnation A.D., the grittiness of Tragedy, and the thundering metal of Neurosis and High on Fire. Some of the songs delve more into hardcore - "Suicide Watch" and "Key Witness" - while others definitely have a more metal flair - "Falling Down" and "I Shit You Not." The album concludes with "iContact," an eight-minute epic metal venture that'll have you banging your head for every minute.

Daymares is a fairly young band, and even though they call Poland home and may never actually touch American soil, they are a band deserving of recognition. Can't Get Us All is an album for anyone sick of spinning the same records over and over and looking for something new.

Hope In The Haze
Red Scare Industries (2025)

I knew of Tired Radio, but I didn't really know the band's work. When Red Scare announced they'd signed the band, I figured it was a good excuse to dive in -- and I'm glad I did. Hope in the Haze is the title of their Red Scare debut and that title kind of sums up their general vibe too. … Read more

Recorded In 2005 By Jay Reatard
Independent (2024)

Interesting little slab we got sent to SPB by a Mr. Ed Young. Two originals and a cover, recorded in Jay Reatard’s living room back in 2005 as the title suggests. So that would be around the time of The Reatards’ Not Fucked Enough for anyone keeping track. Jay had apparently just switched from analog to digital recording but it … Read more

Bombs Away!
Rad Girlfriend Records (2025)

Split records have always worked best when they feel intentional rather than convenient, and Bombs Away! lands firmly in the former category. Bringing together East Bay veterans Tsunami Bomb and Oakland’s The Hammerbombs, this six-track split (three songs per band) doesn’t just unite two names but captures two complementary approaches to Bay Area punk that still feel vital decades into … Read more
