Rampage – Limit of Destruction — Lockin’ Out, 2007

Boston-based hardcore outfit Rampage unleash thirteen tracks of thrash influenced hardcore on Limit of Destruction. Some of the cuts here take on a definite New York hardcore vibe, while others incorporate a more tharshy and early crossover sound of D.R.I. The title-track was definitely my favorite song on this 12", it had a good groove and nice 90's styled breakdown.

Lyrically, vocalist Josh Perrault is very upfront and oftentimes can come across as offensive. But if you read the liner notes, you'll find an interesting tidbit, "Some people, including band members, don't like certain words in our songs. Rampage is not prejudice against any group." So from that you can deduce that Perrault just likes to tell it like it is, which you can take at face value.

Limit of Destruction is a pretty good spin. The album is available from Lockin' Out, so if you're at all interested in this, you best jump on it now before the limited colored vinyl has all been swooped up and only available on eBay for ridiculous amounts.

Then there’s the version that feels mature and more reflective. It’s less interested in glorifying collapse and more concerned with figuring out what comes after it. Kyle Burnett’s Glory Days firmly belongs to the latter category. Best … Read more

From The Outside
Double Felix Records, Double Helix Records (2026)

“Rufio?! Like from back in the day Rufio?” Those were the words out of my mouth while claiming my next review. I wore out Perhaps, I Suppose as a teenager and my curiosity piqued. It has been 25 years since that album was released and 16 years since we have heard from Rufio at all. Regardless of these facts, we … Read more

Oddfellows
Dirtnap, Wild Honey Records (2026)

The self-titled album from Oddfellows was a long time coming. As in, the band formed in 1994. Now in 2026, they return with founding members Chris Pulliam, Mark Ryan, and Mike Throneberry, plus new addition Peter Salisbury to release their debut album just 32 years later. This lineup means you're going to get a Marked Men reference right away, but … Read more
