IN REVIEW: Kill Baby Kill, Cut Throat, Bouncin' Betty

Kill Baby Kill: Product Of Society
(2009 PC records)

The boy's from Belgium are back with this great follow up to their past 3 installments. This album features the same KBK format and in your face, non-PC Oi! What seperates this album from the previous releases is it's much more personal and a first hand view into the life of the singer. Very good and highly recommended. ~Steve Skam

Cut Throat: American Nightmare
(2003 Resistance records)

Awesome Misfit's sounding horror punk/RAC album, with vocals to match, featuring some of the guys of Final War.

This Month's Featured Artist: H8machine

This month's featured artist are New Jersey heavy hitters H8machine. Since the band's creation, following the demise of Dying Breed, the band has focused on producing quality hardcore. While the band was rumored to have broke up for some time during the mid 2000's they came back in full force with their latest release, "One Less Reason To Smile," to further reinforce they are still one of America's leading outfits.

While the band has had several membership change-ups, H8machine has filled the ranks with a sort of all-star line-up now. Original member Dennis is the lead vocalist and original guitarist, before it became a 4 piece outfit. Now on guitars, Joe Frustration of Hatelordz, Last Batallion, Across the Hudson, Tears of Frustration, Grom and of course his self titled work, has been a strong additon to the band. In addition to the two Jersey members is Orange County native Roy on bass. Known for his work in Aggressive Force, Final War, Cut Throat, Tri-City Trashed, Warfare 88 and most recently his works with Big Ed up in Minnesota; Roy brings a large ammount of creative talent to the band as well. Recently the band has added a new drummer to the ranks, and is scheduled to play several European shows this summer.

Code 13, Tri-City Trashed, The Caucazoids

After 10 years since their last performance, Tampa's own Code 13 had a successful reunion show at the annual Saint Patrick's Day concert in Florida this month, is reportedly working on brand new material. Only two of the original members reside in the Florida area, while the vocalist Gideon resides in Australia, causing the long hiatus since their 1999 release of "Blood, Sweat, Beer" on Hatefront records.

Originally the vocalist in Southern Cross and later Blood Oath from Australia, Gideon has not remained stagnant in the least bit during Code 13's long time off. Gideon was involved in many different projects and is reportedly working on something new here in the states, Flack Jacket.

Orange county rockers Tri-City Trashed are working on material for their 2nd full length release. TCT features Roy of Final War, Aggressive Force, Cut Throat, H8machine etc. on vocals, and carries much of that same Final War energy into this project.

The band's first release "One Life" was quite successful in many different circles, however, many people continue to ask about the future of Roy and Final War...
