Ivy is a New York City based hardcore band who formed in the fall of 2013.  Ivy play an off-kilter, nihilistic, and self-destructive sounding style of late 70's early 80's hardcore/punk.  Ivy sound is trashy, lo-fi, and by listening to them, you can tell that they don't give a fuck about trends and what's popular in underground music. Musically, Ivy can be said to be influenced by classic NYC punk bands such as the Dictators, Dead Boys, New York Dolls, Iggy And The Stooges, and other influential bands from that era.  Ivy takes that sound and filters it through a killer lo-fi lens, which puts a different spin on their take on trashy hardcore/punk.  Ivy really got my attention with their self-titled 12" released on Katorga Works last August.  A Cat's Curse, No Dog's Problem is the band's latest four song EP, which serves as their follow-up to their self-titled 7".  On their latest 7", Ivy offer up four new tracks of off-kilter, fuzzy, and blown-out sounding hardcore/punk.  Overall, Cat's Curse, No Dog's Problem is a killer 7" and should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!  Cat's Curse, No Dog's Problem was released via Katorga Works on July 7th, 2015.

Label: Degraanrepubliek
Tracks: 3
Length: 9.0'

Here's a killer split featuring the latest material from Manchester UK's Pine Barrens and Groningen, Netherlands Grinding Halt.  I'm short on time, so I'll just use the label's press note as a description.

Another awesome pairing of bands on this 7” slab. Pine Barrens from the UK made a huge impression with their Kingmaker lp last year and the two tracks on here are in that same vein. Technical metallish hardcore rage which is hard to classify but if you want names i’ll say bands like Rorschach and Botch will cover some of it. Listen and judge yourself but i’m incredibly proud to partcipate in a release by these gents. They are simply briljant. Grinding Halt come forth with one longer track which combines everything they do so well. Mixing all the good stuff from hardcore, punk, sludge and metal with some high pitched vocals on top. Topnotch hardcore vinyl with killer artwork from Marald to finish it off.


Overall, this is a phenomenal split 7" and both bands absolutely slay on this 7".  Don't miss this one.  This split 7" was released via Degraanrepubliek records on February 27th, 2014.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!
