Cock Suck (2007) — Jason

Now or Never – Now or Never — Cock Suck, 2007

Now or Never features members of Gordon Ivy & The Jaybirds and play fast melodic hardcore that came from Scandinavia in the mid to late 90's. I see your Pridebowl and raise you a Wizo and a Satanic Surfers. Now or Never are completely nuts with the breakneck songs and completely inane lyrics. "Fuck this Asshole" includes this lyrical masterpiece; "I need someone as tissue, wiping ass perfectly." Wait, what? This CD is beyond goofy, bordering on the annoying. However, if you still own huge red NOFX shorts and got really mad when your mom brought you home that Variflex board from Wal-Mart then you might want to search this out. Seriously though, "wiping ass perfectly"? Good gravy, what does that even mean?

Mirrors & Smoke
Independent (2026)

On Mirrors and Smoke, Nicole Alexis lands comfortably on the right side of that line, delivering a debut EP that leans into simplicity without losing its emotional weight. Built around acoustic arrangements and minimal production, the EP feels intentionally close. It feels like these … Read more

The Remote Controls

Too Tough
Fail Harmonic Records, Mom’s Basement Records (2025)

There’s a certain kind of punk band that doesn’t overthink things. No reinvention, no genre-bending manifesto, just fast songs, big hooks, and enough attitude to carry it all. Indianapolis’ The Remote Controls lean hard into that tradition on Too Tough, a record that feels less like a statement and more like a well-earned victory lap. Built on a steady diet … Read more
