Whiplash – Unborn Again — Pulverized, 2009

Three piece thrash outfit from New Jersey returns with this barnburner. In your face guitar riffage, pummeling drum beats, and punishing bass lines feature prominently on this record. These guys have been making audiences sweat it out since the 1980's-so you know they can deliver the goods. "Firewater" turns up the heat with a Black Sabbath type dirge that rocks with purpose. "Hook In Mouth" channels the ferocity of Motorhead with reckless abandon and gets results. There's even a Montrose cover on here so you know these dudes know their roots. If you like it loud, fast, and sweaty, Whiplash has a full body cast available in your size today.

If Chat Pile were a film, they would be a dark thriller. The kind that builds tension until the end and, once we reach the third act, still might not ever show the killer. It's plodding and intense and, while I just pulled out a genre reference, the best thing about the band is how much they defy conventional musical … Read more

On the tail end of Autogramm’s 2018 tour of Mexico (what little I remember of that week now is a lot of pulque and not a lot of sleep) I visited the one punk record store in CDMX that I found via googling where to buy bootleg punk t-shirts. I’d already visited Venas Rotas Discos earlier on the trip and … Read more
