***"CUTTERS come from the suburbs of Melbourne and give us Modern Problems, which exists somewhere between the beveling brutality of fellow Aussies Cosmic Psychos, with the forlorn and despondent crunch of My War (Side A). Bound to bring you down, Modern Problems is the perfect companion album to a world falling to pieces. This Mini LP has been in the works for a while, held back by COVID caused vinyl shortages, and is primed to be the perfect cap to 2021 and soundtrack to 2022. We LOVE this band and any fans of pummeling hardcore will love them too."

***Direct from the depths of the pressure cooker that's NYC and reminiscent of a Times Square a la Taxi Driver, BIG CITY bursts forth with their first LP Big Kisses. This LP delivers 10 tracks of hooks developed directly from a latent obsession with early '70s stones, nods to the guitar dynamism of Thin Lizzy, and grit passed down directly from the Ramones. Sprinkle on top flourishes of Teenage Fanclub, a serious dedication to the saxophone wailing found on classic Springsteen records, and you have Big Kisses wrapped up in a nice little bow. Members of Rational Animals and Hank Wood & the Hammerheads, this LP isn’t to be slept on. It's a Big City. You're just living in it.

***Along with bands like Heresy, Intense Degree, Napalm Death and Concrete Sox, RIPCORD took the formula created by US heavy hitters Siege, Deep Wound and Septic Death added some of the commonwealth’s flavor and created a template for future punks to create the powerviolence and grindcore genres. This version has all 7 tracks from that session and includes both the UK and US sleeve variations. The harvest has come home.
