Sex Scenes Everything Makes Me Sick: Hardcore Punk with Zero Apologies If you’re looking for the sanitized, radio-friendly side of punk, turn back now-because Sex Scenes Everything Makes Me Sick is a Molotov cocktail hurled straight at your comfort zone. This Milwaukee wrecking crew has unleashed an album that spits in the face of mediocrity, delivering a snotty blend of thrash riffs, mid-tempo hardcore, and hooks sharp enough to draw blood. Dropping May 9th on Big Neck Records, this record isn’t just another punk release-it’s a full-throttle, gut-punching manifesto for anyone who’s ever felt sick of the world and ready to scream about it. Fronted by the unfiltered fury of Sarah Turbo since 2021, Sex Scenes have carved out a reputation for chaos and catharsis. Their sound is rooted in hardcore, but they’re not chained to any scene-they’re the outcasts who crash every party, leave the amps smoking, and vanish before the cops arrive. The band’s ever-shifting lineup only adds to the u...
DEHORS Contrenuit EP: A Sonic Molotov Against Metropolitan Apathy
The DEHORS Contrenuit EP isn't just music - it's a fucking wake-up call screamed through a haze of reverb and distortion. This Parisian trio's March 2025 release cuts through the bullshit of city life with three tracks of shoegaze-laced fury that'll rattle your bones and haunt your sleepless nights.
Recorded with legendary producer Étienne Sarthou (Alcest, Birds in Row), this EP represents the sound of concrete cracking under pressure. It's where Have a Nice Life's existential dread collides with black metal's raw intensity, all filtered through Paris' dying underground scene. These anarchists of atmosphere don't just make music - they document urban decay in real time.
From the Ashes: The Birth of Contrenuit
Originally forming as instrumental project Lie Dormant, Dehors emerged from COVID's wreckage with a vengeance. Their transformation mirrors Paris itself - burning buildings with pink facades, gentrification's chokehold, and the desperate beauty found in the cracks. The DEHORS Contrenuit EP captures this tension perfectly, switching between French poetic murmurs and screamo outbursts like a schizophrenic metro announcement.
"We made the choice to use lyrics in French, which wasn't obvious at first," the band explains, giving middle fingers to both anglophone market demands and France's rising far-right. This is resistance music for the streaming age - too pretty to ignore, too vicious to co-opt.
Track-by-Track Armageddon
"Insomnie" - A six-minute anxiety attack set to music. The bass-drum intro hammers like a neighbor's late-night argument before exploding into waves of guitar noise. This isn't just about sleeplessness - it's about capitalist exhaustion as a collective experience.
"Rêverie" - The calm before the storm, floating on krautrock rhythms and whispered Baudelaire-esque poetry. "We sleep as we walk, we walk as we dream" mutters the vocalist before the track dissolves into cynical laughter.
"Un orage" - The EP's ten-ton climax. Imagine trying to find your lover during a biblical downpour, with guitars that mimic thunder and drums that hit like hailstones. It's romantic as hell and twice as destructive.
Paris Is Burning (And So Is This Band)
Dehors stands with endangered venues like L'International and Le Cirque Électrique, playing alongside black metal revolutionaries Limbes and feminist punk collective Salut les Zikettes. The DEHORS Contrenuit EP arrives as both art and weapon - its vinyl release through Hidden Bay Records documents a scene fighting gentrification one show at a time.
Their upcoming Super 16 video for "Un orage" (directed by drummer Ben) promises more urban poetry - band members staring from windows, empty buildings, and the kind of rain that washes away everything but truth.
The Future Sounds Like Broken Concrete
With new material already brewing and French tours planned, Dehors represents everything vital about underground music in 2025. The DEHORS Contrenuit EP doesn't just reflect city life - it soundtracks the resistance against its sterilization. This is the voice of Paris' last real artists, screaming into the void before luxury condos swallow everything.
Crank up the DEHORS Contrenuit EP until your walls shake. Let its shoegaze squalls and post-hardcore punches remind you that beauty still exists in the cracks - you just have to fight to hear it.
Feldspar New Single "All Good In The Hood" Italian hardcore punk outfit Feldspar has dropped their latest single, "All Good In The Hood" and it's an adrenaline-fueled blast of energy. According to Chaoszine , the song is a potent mix of hardcore punk DNA, brimming with punchy, adrenaline-charged riffs, pounding drums, and chorus vocals that exude intensity. The track's overwhelming energy is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Formed in late 2023, Feldspar is uniquely located just a stone’s throw from the Vatican in Rome, styling themselves as the “Godless folk two blocks from the Pope.” This proximity seems to fuel their lyrical content, which often critiques the mass commercial drift of Western spirituality emanating from the heart of Rome. However, their exploration extends beyond religious critique, delving into the psychology of the individual, transcending into imaginative realms, and championing mental health and adaptab...
DEATH RITES band: Phoenix Rising from the Ashes of Pandemic Silence When the DEATH RITES band crawled out of LA's underground in 2022, they weren't just another hardcore outfit - they were a goddamn declaration of war. Born from the rotting carcass of lockdown isolation, this five-piece crust/metal punk demolition crew came back from near-death with a vengeance that'll make your teeth rattle. Guitarist Johnny and drummer Marvin first conjured these demons during COVID's darkest days, crafting five tracks of pure metallic fury. But like all great punk stories, the road wasn't straight - members scattered, the project went cold for a year, and their original name 'Deathless' became tragically ironic. That is, until Marvin rediscovered those forgotten riffs mid-flight, sparking a resurrection more brutal than a zombie outbreak. From Demo to Destroyer: The Rebirth of Death Rites Death Rites de Death Rites The reformed lineup - now featuring Branden...
