hardcore

There are at least six artists using the name - not to be confused w/ The Machete (Finland thrash metal band). 1) An upstate NY band that employs deep swelling synthesized bass with the raw energy of classic punk and new wave… The sound runs the gamut from heavy punk to dark pop without alienating either crowd. Their debut album is "Too Weird To Die". 2) f.o. machete a rock band from Glasgow, Scotland.

1 - Against are an Australian (Brisbane) Hardcore band that have graced stages with some prolific bands such as Throwdown (USA), Numb (JAPAN), Ensign (USA), Day of Contempt, Identity Theft, Life Love Regret, Stronger Than Hate, Restraint, Mourning Tide and The Nation Blue. They have a metal sound with old school hxc style. forceful guitars and high pitched screaming. these boys know how to entertain, and will not be "Left For Dead" under any circumstances.

1. TAKEN BY FORCE hail from Baltimore City, and are here to crush with their blend of Merauder meets Death Threat style of hardcore. Following a couple of demo releases, their debut s/t 7" and full lenght come loaded with energetic fast parts and sing-a-long choruses combined with awesome metallic guitar riffs and breaks. Add in some sincerely bitter lyrics about friendship and betrayal, and that pretty much sums up what this band is all about.

The Shire are a Heavy band from the Central Coast, formed late 2010. Their main interests are to play shows and write music other people will enjoy as much as they do!
