STOIC VIOLENCE (Cali. excellent blend of old and new)SIN MOTIVO (Tx hardcore)
TOUCH (new Detroit punk)

Stoic Violence's 12" MLP is on the side of best hardcore records of 2013. I can't pigeon hole them other than the vocals remind me a lot of Artie's style and sound in Celebrity Murders. Celebrity Murders in general is the closest thing to Stoic Violence I can think of. Stoic Violence is a breakfast smoothie of multiple hardcore sounds that they blended well. Unlike Celebrity Murders, Stoic Violence is more aggro and straightforward, more hardcore. Songs are short and pretty pissed off. Does that work? I don't know. A couple of other touring bands bowed out of this gig and Sin Motivo stepped in. My brain must be more fucked up than I thought cause I have some band to use as a comparison for Sin Motivo. I can't remember the band for the life of me, but that band is definitely fucking awesome. Touch Of North America or Touch as I refer to them have only been around a minute. I think somebody dropped something about Husker Du somewhere, sometime in reference to Touch. A lot of that whole Virginia hardcore/screamo whatever shit of the late 90's and early 00's, you know what bands I'm talkin' about, works too. Actually just take those two together and shit on the dynamics those bands had and stick the core of it.
