Black Ice (updated)


I got the privilege of previewing the new demo by the hard hitting Iowa based band BLACK ICE before it hits the internet tomorrow. Featuring members of Agress it should already tell you that its going to be heavy. Well, you're absolutely correct. This demo is awesome. Be ready to pit and head bang until you are dead.

THE RETURN!

After a whole year of not doing anything to this, I (chris) have decided to revamp the site. I have a bunch of ideas that I want to do. For example: I want to have a venue/promoters link, band interviews, band spotlights, reviews, pictures from midwest shows/photographers. I also want to get about 1 or 2 people from different midwest states to help submit bands. I can do all the searching on my own. I want this to stick. More community and less diversity. We gotta help each other. The midwest is a family.

RESOLVE



"Resolve is a five-piece straight edge band from the St. Louis, MO area, that plays pure late 1980's hardcore, in the classic style that bands like Youth Of Today and Turning Point made big. So the perfect soundtrack to singalong, fingerpoint and jump around to! The songs are fast, energetic full of catchy singalongs and deal with life from a positive perspective. With lyrics about the meat industry, the power of oil corporations in the USA, intelligent design, but also about being different and making a positive change, Resolve makes clear that the have some importants thoughts to share."
