Fuck The Facts – Amer — Independent, 2013

Fuck The Facts have long been a bright spot in the canadian metal scene. The long running band have released a nearly ridiculous number of records in their ever changing musical formula. The formula itself retains grind as a backbone but adds layers and ideas up and above that to create something more dynamic more the bands' own.

Amer is a brief ep released on cassette and vinyl with lyrics solely in french. As this release is yet another notch in the bands independent belt it is more of their own less filtered but same general idea. While none of the songs reach much over 3 minutes (at an absolute maximum), there are shades of the bands influences outside of grind all over it whether it be noise, hardcore and doom all styles make their presence felt. This all equals out to a strong but all too brief EP by a band that deserve their place in metal and then some.

Nightfreak
Big Neck Records (2024)

Semi-feral punk outfit NightFreak are back with a self-titled LP filled with breakneck riffs and 70s metal bombast. The Chicago group haven’t slowed down since 2022’s Speed Trials but they have filled out. NightFreak the album is lousy with warm back beats and melodic guitars; although, hardcore vocals and tight drums still reign supreme. Album opener “Blackout” is dead serious … Read more

Raw Muscle Power
Jansen Records (2025)

I’m pretty sure I became aware of Mike Krol when The Whiffs posted about playing some shows with him. Krol is a bit of an anomaly. Not only is he on Merge and collaborates with Mac Superchunk- a dream scenario imo- but he’s also been elusive of my fan boy attempts at cold dm’ing him about stuff even tho we … Read more
