Shaved Women are a band that you should like and listen to often. They are from St. Louis; which is a city of about 3 million that is found in Missouri, one of the United States.
Self described as ”four dudes”, the group named after a Crass song play some pretty scary sounding hardcore. To me, this is an instant classic, a very memorable listen and a band people will use as a reference point from now on. Lots of emotion in the vocalists snarls, heavily distorted and thundering basslines, lots of toe-tapping, head-banging verses that just rock hard (this is a great record to crank up loud and let play) and some very satisfying more creative moments, where they play with noise by hammering on the guitar pickups, dead-strumming (just the sound of the pick scraping the strings with no actual notes being played) or more commonly, just discordant and angular or unexpected guitar lines. To me, this record sounds sort of like Ross, the singer for Ceremony, was fronting Pissed Jeans…as the soundtrack for your worst nightmare.
7 tracks, 17 minutes long, each track between 2 and 3 minutes long for that heavier mid-tempo rock feeling. Comes with a super-heavy Die Kreuzen cover that rages way harder than the original and is super intense. SHAVED WOMEN just might be your new favorite band. Awesome hardcore punk from St. Louis. Can’t wait for more from these guys!

HARDCORE: you’re doing it right.
All girl hardcore group HYSTERICS; from Olympia, Washington, have printed bloody-tampon black flag bars shirts.
New band featuring members of Nomos and Rival Mob, based out of NYC
are a new hardcore punk band from the American New Brunswick, the city in New Jersey. I happen to think their demo is quite good and that their name is amazing.
There was no Mediafire link, so I put their demo up myself.
Five songs: singer sounds pissed, great gang vocal sing-alongs on the first track, instrumentation gives equal balance to mid-paced stompers and fast hardcore attacks. I think, all in all, this is pretty great.
Longest track on here is 1:26… download below!
