1/9- MENTAL ABUSE, UGLY PARTS, SENTENCED (TX), TREATMENT (TX), BLUNT FORCE @ THE COOLER RANCH


     For those of you who live in New Jersey or even the Tri-State area, I highly recommend making your way to this show.  Not only is this a stacked lineup of awesome bands like New Brunswick's own Ugly Parts who are returning after a brief 6 month hiatus, The Sentenced and Treatment on tour from Texas, and Jersey's "supergroup" Blunt Force (Members of Night Birds, Altered Boys, and many more.) but NJHC legends Mental Abuse just got added to the bill.
     For those of you who haven't heard of the Cooler Ranch, it is mecca for hardcore-punk shows in New Brunswick and Central Jersey. The guy who books shows at that house has been throwing together some amazing line-ups and with a frequency that is lacking in some communities. I've been there almost every weekend for the past month or so and it's just a really chill spot for shows.
     If you want to hear Sock Woman live then Ask a Punk and come to the show.


When I heard about this show I started snooping around the internet for some Mental Abuse downloads and I found Streets of Filth but I would like more. If anyone has any other downloads then please link me. 


Mental Abuse - Streets of Filth (83')

I also suggest checking out the other bands playing tonight...

DEMO #1 - STEP-4-CHANGE

New year, new music. I wanted to find something completely new and fresh so I rummaged through some new music on bandcamp and I found this awesome youth crew band from California Called Step-4-Change. FFO: Floorpunch, Bold, Freedom, Youth of Today. Great sound accompanied with catchy lyrics like "THE MESSAGE, THE TRUTH, THE MEANING, THE YOUTH, THIS PLEDGE, THIS X, MY FRIENDS, THE CREW!" Technically it was realeased in late December but I'm listening to it now so this is my first favorite demo of the New Year! Check out Step-4-Change.
