Heroin

A hardcore emo band from San Diego that pioneered many elements of screamo in 1991. They thrashed about with a sound like none other. Consisting of Matt Anderson on vocals, with Ron Johnson, Scott Bartiloni and Aaron Montaigne. After they broke up they went on to form and play with bands such as End of the Line, Antioch Arrow, Spacehorse and Clikatat Ikatowi. Heroin were one of the many decent bands to come from the 90's emo/hardcore scene, Heroin become one of my favourites with their hardcore roots, and somewhat post-rock catchiness without losing that hardcore sound, Head Cold and Indecision are on heavy rotation.

Man is the Bastard - D.I.Y.C.D

Man is the Bastard, the premier power-violence band of the early 90's, I've had a couple of posts of their offshoot Bastard Noise, but nothing as of yet by MITB. So, Man is the bastard has grown to become one of my favourite bands, their unique bass driven sound always stays energetic and brutal without being a blur of noise, and maintaining an aggressive and progressive ideal. D.I.Y.C.D is an anthology released in 1995 it's a rawer sound of MITB with shorter songs as compared to some later CD's, Sum of the men having much longer songs which branched more into the noise field. This is a great introduction to MITB, and any fans will have had many a mosh to this already, West Coast power violence, kick ass!

Ash Pool - From which he plies the lash

Ash Pool, based in New York, New York, came to life in 2005. The duo which plays black metal in a primitive, yet catchy and melancholic style is comprised of Dominick Fernow (Prurient, Vegas Martyrs, Taylor Bow) and Kris Lapke (Alberich, Northern Cross). Their latest release 'From which he plies the lash' is an interesting blend of musical styles, of course we have the raw BM elements but there are also some thrash elements which make for a more accomplished sound. The production values have somewhat increased and moved away from the rawer cassette sounds, but nonetheless a good record.
