No Harm Done / Offsides – Split — Seafoam, 2009

Seafoam Recordings teams up No Harm Done from Florida and Offsides from Connecticut on this limited edition split 7".

The a-side features the final three tracks from No Harm Done, who just recently called it quits. This Floridian outfit continues their melodic hardcore and punk assault that follows the lead of Strike Anywhere and Rise Against. I've always found this band to be run of the mill and these songs don't really change that - "Vs. Vultures" is, however, the best thing I've heard by the band. But they're since broken up, so I guess that's said and done. It's rather ironic their final song here is titled "Goodbye."

Offsides handle the b-side with three new tracks. These songs pick up where their previous It's a Struggle to Communicate EP left off. You get fast-paced hardcore of the early Revelation catalog with the scorching vocals of Danielle Allen. "Vacant Lots" is blistering. "Gone" and "With Great Honor" are equally as high-octane but with a bit more melody. If you dig on Gorilla Biscuits or With Honor then you should definitely check out Offsides.

After another EP and a single, the band finally brings us their debut long player, Cel Rayzer. To no surprise, it’s excellent. Cel Ray plays a brand of post-punk that’s lo-fi and streamlined.

Horrorful Heights
Fire Records (2026)

God loves Nick Saloman, and from the heavens, the expulsion of the beloved archangel fell and spawned Horrorful Heights. A 20-track double-album behemoth. Eighty-eight minutes of musical mayhem. Who does that anymore? nobody. As they edit themselves down to make nice, safe Spotify playlists, Nick just dumps the whole glorious attic on your head like the wicked witch of the … Read more

Too Outlaw For Outlaw Country
Reptilian Records (2026)

For nearly forty years, Nine Pound Hammer have occupied a strange corner of American music that very few bands have ever managed to touch. They're too loud for traditional country, too country for most punk bands, too dirty for radio rock, and frankly too stubborn to care where anyone thinks they belong. That's exactly why Too Outlaw For Outlaw Country … Read more
