Billingsgate.
This interview was originally printed in Good and Plenty N05. I had never herd of Billingsgate before reading this interview, they only released two EP’s and the second one happened to be one of the first Victory records releases. Both have a hardcore sound of that era, with some youth crew values and sounds too, the second release “Reach Out” has a bit more of a metallic edge almost in a similar vein of Warzone.

2020: A Handful Demos You Need to Hear.
Before all of this happened and sent the world into lockdown and even during the current situation people have still managed to release so killer music I decided to compile a little list of some good stuff with a vague little description, I hope you enjoy it.
Last Straw – Youngblood’s newest members bringing some straight up youth crew hardcore punk in a familiar CT styling, I am biased because I love youth crew but definitely a favourite for me.
Listen: https://youngbloodrecords.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2020
Fyzical – Another new one to the BBB Records Roster. Arguably one of the coolest names for a straight edge band. A great mixture of stuff going on in this creating to hard hitting straight edge in your face!
Listen: https://bbbrecords.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2020
Grand Scheme – Advanced Perspective are such a great label and they have delivered again, rough and heavy stomping out of Washington DC a great example of modern hardcore.
Listen: https://advancedperspective.bandcamp.com/album/demo-4
C4 – A new addition to the BBB Records roster coming out of Boston with roots in older style hardcore with added good times early 2000’s flavours.
Listen: https://bbbrecords.bandcamp.com/album/goes-to-war-demo
The Boss – You want NYHC with Boston flavour, done! Florida bringing the heat with some hatred.
Listen: https://thebossflhc.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2020
The Annihilated – Rough and ready, hard UK82 vibes while worshiping all the other good fast as fuck hard as fuck hardcore punk from the past generations.
Listen: https://theannihilated.bandcamp.com/
NSA – Sunny Florida bringing some fast angry punk that sounds raw and noisy as if it was recorded in a basement and thats what makes its great!
Listen: https://invisibleaudio.bandcamp.com/album/nsa-is-watching
Third Degree – Fast punchy hardcore with some metallic NYHC elements and angry fuck you punk attitude, not the usual CT style but still a great demo.
Listen: https://thirddegreecthc.bandcamp.com/releases
Sanctuary of Praise – Hailing from the UK, dreamy shoegaze wrapped in some noisy post punk goodness, a nice break from hardcore, a cool name too!
Listen: https://sanctuaryofpraise.bandcamp.com/album/demonstration
If you think there are some bands I have missed or that should be on here, drop me a line and I can always make a part two, I always enjoy finding new music.
