Closet Burner - Disappointment, Death, Dishonor LP - IFB100

Bloomington's Closet Burner return with a full length of queer-positive, society bullshit negative hardcore.  The sound is rooted in classic fast hardcore riffs, but not afraid to drop a dirge or a powerviolent blast in there.  Lyrics are angry, to the point, and no holds barred, representing a refreshing return to actual anger and resistance in hardcore.  Members share time in Rat Storm as well.  These are $10.

Rat Storm - Empty Hands 7" - IFB068

Another band that needs no introduction to these esteemed readers - Bloomington's Rat Storm play ripping hc/punk that hits you in all the spots that want that, all the while upping the level in terms of being a meaningful use of resources.  Read these lyrics and get to know the art - check out Kathe Kollwitz - my favorite artist.  If you're at all interested in blistering punk that is actually saying something relevant, Rat Storm is carrying the banner in fine form, plus they know southern hospitality despite probably being half frozen as I type.  It's on random colored vinyl so you get cool colors with no collector bullshit!  It's a co-release with Profane Existence and Reality is a Cult.  These are sold out

Parasitic Twins - s/t 7" - IFB057

From Fort Wayne IN, Parasitic Twins play a style of HC rooted in the Black Flag/Poison Idea style with plenty of weird riffings going on - not at all run of the mill HC riffs. The vocals on top are tough as fuck with tons of anger as well as a fun mocking tone. Nate might be more pissed at our culture than I am. This is really, really good and is definitely worth supporting.  These are a split release with Reality is a Cult and Black Heart Mountain.  They sold out.
