Solid 7 inch release with a spoken word track as the b-side. Very surprised CCA didn't take a year to ship the vinyl to me. Skinhead - The Plan: 1

Meanwhile - A Conflict of Memory In conjunction with their appearance at the Kick Rock Festival in France earlier this summer, Kick Rock Records brings us the first new Meanwhile record in 18 years, and boy-oh-boy is it worth the wait! Usman—whose detailed knowledge of this vein of hardcore is something to behold—tells me the sound on this new record resembles Meanwhile’s 2005 EP Ghostface Democracy (one of his favorites in their discography), but the main reference point that comes to my mind is Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing. For all the hundreds of bands whose music is firmly grounded in Discharge, relatively few explore HNSNSN’s layered sound, and fewer still capture anything like that album’s power. A Conflict of Memory, though, gives me a very similar feeling, that distinctive reverb, the multitracked guitars, and the wandering, heavily chromatic lead playing coalescing to make me feel like I’m in the middle of a swirling, violent tornado of sound. As with many bands who follow Discharge’s template so closely, there’s an element of collage to Meanwhile’s composing process that might turn people off, and there are several points on A Conflict of Memory when anyone with a well-worn set of Discharge vinyl will be tempted to shout Discharge’s lyrics rather than Meanwhile’s. However, I’ll assume that if you’ve gotten this far into reading this, you acknowledge the value of contemporary bands elaborating on and iterating Discharge’s work. And, indeed, if you’re one of those maniacs who can never get enough Discharge-style hardcore, just know the new Meanwhile EP rips and you definitely need it. - Sorry State Records

Bato - Human Cancer The wider world last heard from Bato on their 2019 7” Ravages of Time, but those of us who have seen the band live in the intervening five years knew they were brewing up something special for their long-planned debut LP. Now Human Cancer is out, and it’s ready to melt faces. Arriving via Norfolk’s prolific Not for the Weak Records, Bato shares a member with their label-mates Reckoning Force, and fans of that band will recognize guitarist Jordan Greenough’s lightning-fast, ultra-precise riffing right away. Also like Reckoning Force, Bato boasts a member of Socialcide (Bato has Socialcide’s drummer, while Reckoning Force features their bassist). If you’re one of the smart folks who has been snapping up every Not for the Weak Records release as it comes out, you’re going to love Bato, as the ultra-fast, musically dense hardcore punk that is that label’s trademark forms the foundation of their sound. Human Cancer can feel relentless on the first listen, riffs coming at you with overwhelming speed and ferocity, one right after the other, but the energy never drags. While Bato rides riffs just long enough to set the hook, they always have a tempo change or a cool little trade-off between instruments to keep the song moving. The songs are well-written, even subtle, feeling cooked down to where they’re as lean as they can be, all flavor and no filler. That sense of density combined with Bato’s consistently manic tempos makes Human Cancer a demanding yet exhilarating listen. - Sorry State Records

Mess - Somos Mess Oi twinged punk from Guadalajara, MX We are MESS! Between announcing themselves to the world with the release of their first 12” EP Intercity and the release of their debut full length Under Attack, Guadalajara, Mexico’s MESS had a prolific two years. Now, for the first time ever, all 16 songs released during that period - including the first EP - can be found in one place: together at last & freshly re-mastered on one glorious slab of wax. Pirates Press Records is proud to present SOMOS MESS (WE ARE MESS), a collection of the band’s much sought-after early work! Between 2020 and 2022, MESS released two EPs, two 7”’s (including the long sold out split with The Chisel), and appeared on the compilation Stronger Than Before Vol 1 (Longshot / Battle Scarred Records). This flurry of activity quickly captured the attention of the international punk scene, rapidly making MESS a global favorite, with fans eagerly awaiting each release. Influenced by the classic sounds of Oi! and UK82, the band brings a raw but catchy sensibility to their street level rock ’n roll anthems, singing primarily in English and occasionally in Spanish. As their sound & attitude spread like wildfire with each release, an ever-growing fan base were left scrambling to find copies of their back catalog. Although Intercity and the follow up EP Fuego Fuego Fuego have received multiple represses in Europe, and Intercity was pressed as a picture disc in the USA via Pirates, Fuego Fuego Fuego has never had a US pressing. Likewise, both 7”s are long out-of-print, and never to be repressed. SOMOS MESS is the answer collectors have been searching for. - Sorry State Records
