SPECIMEN 32 RECORDSUPDATE, DECEMBER 2004

2005 is shaping up positive! Spec 32 has three releases already lined up, each I?m completely stoked for. The first is the SLEDGEHAMMER - YOUR ARSONIST 7" EP. If you've been sleeping on this band, it?s Dwid from Integrity and the guys from Congress and Liar. They crush their way through 4 tracks of metallic hardcore. After that, Spec 32 is releasing a yet to be titled 7" from Cleveland's NAMES FOR GRAVES. This band features ex In The Red, Committed and Good Clean Fun guys playing fast sxe hardcore. Fast energetic hardcore full of melodies and dance parts. These two releases will drop before March. After that, we at Spec 32 will be releasing a split LP by Canada's own KEEP IT UP and HAYMAKER! If you have been in a coma, there is still no excuse, Keep It Up plays awesome old school hardcore very similar to the sound of Youngblood records. Check out mp3s off their site! HAYMAKER returns from their resting place to rip to shreds their side of the LP. With relentless releases on Deranged, and 6 Weeks, it is a fucking privilege to get to release something from this band made up of ex Chokehold and Left for Dead guys. Expect this to drop late spring/early summer.

ATTITUDE - Piss And Vinegar 7" E.P.
Attitude spits out 5 tracks of modern hardcore. More fuck you than youth crew, but still filled with sing alongs and pile ons. features Tom Ranger from Eternal Youth and members of Hit The Lights and the sometimes drummer of Outbreak! MP3?s at http://www.spec32.com

DIEHARD YOUTH - 4 Years The Hard Way - Complete Vinyl Discography
Hardcore's most underappreciated band, Diehard Youth released several records over the 4 years they were together, on labels such as Thorp, ThinkxFast and For The Core.
