THREE GREAT RELEASES; PARASIGHT/NERVGIFT, DRONES FOR QUEENS, THE GREAT GODDAMN

 Philadelphia should be mighty proud to call Drones For Queens it's own. Practically Weapons is a fierce blend of Speed and Grind that dropped on March 10th, and is available on limited edition white vinyl. It's almost April, so check on availability pronto, but if you've missed out you can always download this awesome 4 track rager.

If you're in the market for some Crust/Grind/ Hardcore check out Parasight (Denmark) and Nervgift's (Sweden) new split EP. Is this a golden age for Grindcore? Because there sure seems to be a lot of kick ass bands around these days and this release from Modstand Records is no exception. Parasight has a track called Skulldozer that I'm going to put on everyone's mix tape this year. These two groups totally make me miss my days of fighting in the pit!

Do you like bands like Melvins and Shellac? THEN SAY GODDAMN! Stoner/Sludge Punks The Great Goddamn made something special just for you. Me, this is right up my alley. I'm one of those guys that thought Black Flag got really good with My War and I'd rather listen to St. Vitus or Crowbar over Metallica any day. Bangers & Hash is a groove heavy, low end bastard of an album and with warmer weather approaching this will be THE summer album for the cool kids that hate the summer time.
Out today from Void Assault Records!

DRONES FOR QUEENS To Release "Practically Weapons" 7inch via Riff Lifter Media Feb 12, 2015

(from the press release)

Philadelphia-based speed metal grinders DRONES FOR QUEENS have announced their upcoming 7inch "Practically Weapons", will be released March 10, 2015 via Riff Lifter Media.  The 4-song EP will be pressed on white vinyl and limited to 300 copies.  Pre-orders are available here.

"Practically Weapons" was recorded in Aug 2014 by Steve Roche  (Stinking Lizaveta, Rat Healer, Nightfall, Witch Hunt, Serpent Throne) at Permanent Hearing Damage in Philadelphia.  The EP was then mastered by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound Mastering.

Featuring ex-members of Woe, Woods of Ypres, and current members of The Green Evening Requiem, Population Zero, and Dirt Worshipper, DRONES FOR QUEENS previously released a split 7” out with Occult 45, as well as a cassette EP ("Health") in 2012.  Their music has been described as "hard hitting D-Beat with complex riffage" (New Noise Magazine), "blistering double-kick drumming, and a strong melodic sensibility"(Exclaim), "hard hitting, hook laden music that takes no prisoners" (The Monolith), and as a "solid mix of metal and punk with traditional elements combined with some emerging nuances" (Blow The Scene).

Drones For Queens is comprised of guitarist/vocalist Shane Madden, drummer Evan Madden, and bassist Bob Stokes.  The band will announce US tour dates later this year.
