Saligia - The New Innocence 10" - IFB106

Germany's Saligia features folks that have been pioneering the emoviolence sound from the beginning.  Members of Republic of Dreams, Lentic Waters, Resurrectionists, Apoplexy Twist Orchestra, and many others bring you a new dose of swirling intense emo-violent chaos with powerful screamed vocals, meaningful and important lyrics, and enough Chaos is Me era Orchid influence to please us punks that want our emo foul and furious and intent on smashing all oppression.  Fight back.  These are sold out.

Cloud Rat - Qliphoth LP - IFB084

Cloud Rat's 3rd full length and IFB's 8th release for the band, is another absolute masterpiece of venomous grinding hardcore fury.  This MI based trio has toured relentlessly and has never failed to keep their sound fresh and interesting, despite being super prolific.  This record adds the noise skills of Brandon Hill to great effect, just upping the ante.  Madison's vocals again spew hideous poisons unknown since ancient ages, and Adrian has managed to hit the drums harder in an absolutely punishing performance.  Rorik drops riff after riff, taking it from grinding intensity to chugging crunch.  Seriously, just get this.  These are $10 in an order or $13ppd alone.  Split release with Halo of Flies, 7 Degrees, Moment of Collapse, and React with Protest.

Autarkeia/Me and Goliath - split LP - IFB079

US vs. UK in an epic emo collaberation here.  Autarkeia from Ft. Myers FL plays dark and moody emo with passionate female vocals coupled with powerful lyrics.  The material on this split is often darker and heavier than the first LP, using brooding, building riffs then blast beating it into oblivion.  Hailing from Kent,  UK, Me and Goliath play frantic driving emo with the perfect mix of raw energy and desperation.  Take the modern driving emo sound and stir in a good dose of Assfactor 4 and you're in the neighborhood.  These are packaged in a screenprinted fold up sleeve with a photo inserted into the cover.  This is a split release from IFB, React With Protest, and City 17 Records.  They are $11 in an order or $15ppd alone.

Cloud Rat / Republic of Dreams - split LP - IFB054

US vs. Germany on this massive split. I have to say that Cloud Rat is the best US hardcore band going - their live set should not be missed as they deliver yet another round of venomous grinding hardcore filled with palpable anger and emotion. They just keep getting better and if you haven't heard any of their stuff before, you are missing out big time. Republic of Dreams is from Germany and rip through wild bursts of emo-violence with all the swirling riffs and high end chords you'd expect from these veterans of Louise Cyphre and Resurrectionists. This is chaos done to perfection, and the dark, long samples add to the feeling of tension. This has a lyrics booklet and a cover screen printed on recycled paper. This is a split release with React with Protest, Moment of Collapse, and 50 Year Storm. These are sold out
