Bring Out Your Dead – Just Stay Asleep... — Detonate, 2010

Bring Out Your Dead features members of Scraps and Heart Attacks for anyone else out there that gives a hoot. I liked Scraps and Heart Attacks so I was excited hear this EP. What we have here is a metal band that plays fast and has some nice melodic picking parts and some decent early 2000's type mosh to it. ust Stay Asleep... could have came out on Ferret and Trustkill at the beginning of the millennium and no one would have a battened an eye. It's metalcore play fast and tuneful and thankfully doesn't have any of the downfalls of today's modern metalcore scene. There's no bad haircuts, no "deathcore", nothing...Just decently played hardcore with a good sense of head banging. I think I'm going to burn this to my computer and keep it around.

It’s got groove, urgency, and a clear sense of purpose. Clocking in at around fifteen minutes, the EP wastes no time establishing its identity. From the opening moments of “This Chain,” it’s all forward … Read more

Dashed

Self Titled
Independent (2026)

When a band describes themselves as surf punk, it usually conjures a certain image. Reverb drenched guitars, sunburnt melodies, maybe even a sense of looseness that leans more carefree than chaotic. Dashed doesn’t really fit that mold. On their self-titled LP, they take those familiar elements and run them through something colder, sharper, and far less predictable. Across eleven tracks, … Read more
