Wasted Time – No Shore — Grave Mistake, 2007

Wasted Time basically sounds like Time to Escape but with more gruff vocals and more influences that stem from early New York hardcore than Dischord. Once again, if it's done well, I like it. Wasted Time I like. Actually I like Wasted Time a bit more than Time to Escape since they just go for throat and are a smidge heavier. If you like fast pissed off hardcore that remembers the past more than looking to the future than you should check out Wasted Time. While you are at it, you might as well check out the Grave Mistake back catalog.

Second Harbour

Coalesce EP
Sharptone (2025)

Formed around the tight-knit chemistry of brothers Xavier and Vincent Morency with drummer John Muggianu, Canada’s Second Harbour are that rare modern post-hardcore band that sound equally comfortable bleeding and building. Their new four-song EP, Coalesce, marks both their SharpTone Records debut and their clearest creative statement yet. The title isn’t just poetic, it’s literal. This is where the band’s … Read more
