Deformity - Shards



Gritty NY hardcore that sounds both raw/unpolished and refined. Fight scene from the kung-fu classic Hell'z Windstaff. You can find it amongst a bunch of other obscure gems in some Wu-Tang dvd boxset. And it's not all just ass-kicking. Some movies, yeah, you will literally see no women at all and it's guys grabbing balls, poking eyes out and talk fantasy football the next scene (maybe I made up that last part). But then there are also soft-erotic movies with prostitutes and go go dancers. A wide arrange of kung-fu cinema that will show you that Tarantino did not have one original idea in his head when he made Kill Bill (which is still a great fucking film though).

Retainers - Waste of Time



No-nonsense garage punk stomper from 2009. The b-side of the 7", Die Baby Die, is quite the banger too.

Closet Case - Old Ways



Closet Case made a cassette last year, "It Doesn't Get Better", so hard hitting, knocking your teeth out and raping your mouth so there's nothing left for you to do but swallow. Images from Harmony Korine's underappreciated masterpiece Julien Donkey-Boy.
