Praia De Vômito - Entire Discography


Praia De Vômito - literally meaning 'beach vomiting' in Portuguese - was a political noisecore band from Legião, Brazil. They were undoubtedly one of authentic noise of the past while and truly brought back the feeling - as well as beliefs - of the early days of the genre. A well-blended mix of grind classics, such as Fear of God, early Agathocles, Rot, Violent Headache, Sore Throat, Extreme Noise Terror, Unseen Terror and even a touch of Napalm Death's glory days and classic Scandinavian hardcore are instantly brought to mind.

This resembles REAL old-school noisecore; long before well the sub-sub-genre turned into a pile of sexist idiocy as per that garbage of Anal Cunt and Meat Shits (fuck off!). So what I mean to say is Praia De Vômito is playing what noise-core literally means, not noise with instruments and not short burst farts. As you can see on their pages, they are highly involved in radical left-wing politics as well as activism and are highly commendable for including such important modern-day socio-political issues into their noise. Anyway, it's really a loss to the scene that these guys called it quits before even really getting much attention, but take note if you have some false conception of what noisecore is about and enjoy the free downloads the band members has put up on their blog.

Bestial Vomit & Cannibe - Split CD-R (2006)


Bestial Vomit is a noisecore band from Roma / Dragoncello / Berlino, Italy and Cannibe is a goregrind band from Sardinia, Italy. For those who are familiar with Cannibe, there are no surprises on their side of the split; some noisy, goofy and kinda bizarre goregrind that has structural similarities closer to a lesser frantic noisecore than traditional gore. On the Bestial Vomit side, there is some of the finest noisecore you will ever hear. Hard to really do them justice without sounding like an idiot but I can say that it's insanely goofy, noisy, sloppy, yet primitive, intensive, savage and embodies total DIY. There are obvious major influences coming from all facets of old-school grind, such as from crustgrind, goregrind and also mincecore. BxVx is definitely NOT just another 5-second song noisecore band, this is some of the most authentic punishing old-school grind, and it brings who brings forth all the best element of the genre. Here the split CD-R between the two Italian bands, which was released on Lo-Fi Records (the label run by members of BxVx).

Headless Death - Demo (2011)


Headless Death is a deathgrind band from Melbourne, Australia. They're definitely recognizable as playing in the old-style of the genre, although taking influence from the likes of seemingly opposite scenes - like Repulsion or Impetigo, to Assück or Discordance Axis - as well as a handful of classic pulverizing death metal. But these aussies undoubtedly bring forth their own unique flavor of intensity, mixing everything together with nice combination of new meets old and baring obvious similarities to the aussie grind scene as a whole. Some very crushing yet eerie and dark tones here, be sure to keep an eye out for this band. Here is their release ever, a self-released demo depicting their name's sake.

Grimace & Shooting Spree - Westcoast Greasy Roadtrip 2012



Grimace are a quirky mincecore band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada and Shooting Spree is a vicious grindcore / powerviolence band Squamish, B.C., Canada. Grimace silly, ridiculous, heavy, catchy, slightly fastcore-influenced and yes, take their name from that horrible fat purple hairy idiot who poses naked for mcmurder. On the other end of the spectrum, Shooting Spree take an absolutely no mid-paced shit approach and just gets straight to ripping your head off only to turn into a nutritious smoothie later on. Shooting Spree is, in my view, one of the most intensive grind bands in Canada at the moment.

Anyway, this will be the second ever tour experience for Grimace and the first ever tour experience for Shooting Spree, so if you have any sort of 'grind logic' you will be at some these shows have loads of fun, right!? Seriously, I cannot even express how crucial it is to attend these shows and support real fucking DIY no bullshit grind if you can. Also, please help with booking if you're able to by contacting either bands at their respective pages that I liked above. Dates obviously subject to some change and you can find the fartbook event page thing for the tour over HERE.

Obacha & Skuff - Westcoast Tour 2012



Obacha are from Squamish, B.C., Canada and Skuff are from Kamloops, B.C., Canada. Both bands playing absolutely pumelling yet quirky fastcore / powerviolence. Major influences and musical comparisons for both could be identified as most early Westcoast and Slap-A-Ham powerviolence, such Capitalist Casualties, Infest, Neanderthal, Lack of Interest and to a lesser degree, Crossed Out and No Comment. Mixing this with the goofiness / spastic nonsense of newer fastcore is then more or less what they resemble or replicate - and they do it very well!

Anyway, this is not the first time Obacha will be on tour - they've done some mini-tours in Canada as far as I know - but this is the first tour experience for Skuff and the first time either will be touring in the states. Although both are not terribly new bands, they're still pretty unknown, so please make the effort to go out and see these awesome bands.

Please help these dudes out with booking if you can by contacting them at their respective page or at: obacha AT hotmail DOT CA and harrisondempsey3 AT gmail DOT COM. Dates obviously subject to some change.

Pneumoblastoma - Streptococcal Septicemia (2011)


Pneumoblastoma is a one-man pathological gorenoise band from Campbell River, B.C., Canada. First off, this is one of the many side-project of Andy from the mighty Hyperemesis, so naturally, you are right to expect absolute devastation. Pneumoblastoma is in the vein of later Last Days Of Humanity, Biocyst, Urine Festival, Bacteriophagia, Tumor, Anal Birth, etc. However, unlike most gorenoise, there is a huge pulverizing scoop of filthy crust tones added - much like Autophagia. And this combination of a chaotic and relentless wall of thick noise with a crust intensity at rapid speeds makes it stand out and bring about further depths of utter filth in the gorenoise genre. Here is one of a few of the self-released demo tapes, which is unfortunately is not for download in it's entirety but most of the tracks are downloadable.

Famine - First World Problems (2012)


Famine is a 3-piece crustcore / d-beat band from Kamloops, B.C., Canada. They play in the straight-ahead really fucking crushing yet catchy vein of classics like Consume, Disrupt, Health Hazard, State of Fear, Warcollapse or Deformed Conscience, as well as showing resemblance to newer bands like Nuclear Death Terror, Massgrave or Visions of War. There's also a thick layering of early Japanese and Scandinavian d-beat influence. Some intense and well-executed rhythms in all aspects of the tunes, as well as strong socio-political and environmental themes; these dudes are really phenomenal in nailing and mixing these sounds / ideals together. Here is their first demo which was self-released by the band.
