M.O.R.A. is a Finland 5 piece hardcore band, Traditional roots with new edges.
I want to start this out by saying, I LOVE THIS BAND! Any band fronted by 2 Female Vocalist is always a little extra intriguing. Throw in some traditional hardcore riffs and boom..”SOLD”.

Most Readers will certainly not understand the lyrics, mainly cause it’s not your language. From what i managed to read in the translations. The lyrics are as Punk-Hardcore as it gets! Lyrical topics ranging from Corrupt-Politics, Self Understanding, Depression Struggles, And some Drug Abuse.

You can feel it 100% as soon as their first track comes on. They are fierce, Powerful,Raw, and LOADED with Energy.
From these live sets I’ve seen on YOUTUBE i would love to catch them live if i ever visit Finland!

My top tracks From M.O.R.A. would have to be Nykaijan Narrit and Tanaan Tassa.

COLD TIMES is a 5 piece heavy hardcore band, metal influenced with a negative mind set.
The music is amazing , if you like TERROR or Ringworm. check these boys out! Their music is about the negatives in life. When asked about it they replied;

” We create negative music because negativity is what surrounds us all, this is the world we live in and how we see fate. A world driven by hypocrisy and manipulation has no future.”

When they contacted us, i was blown away. I watched their LIVE set and in that moment on YouTube, i never wanted to be somewhere so bad. looks like a real good time.
I asked them, What should people expect walking into a COLD TIMES show?

“You can expect Sick Riffs , lots of Moshing and a great energy , we like to give our best performance always”

CAN’T HATE ON THAT!


Listening to their 2014 Demo is definitely worth every second. This 4 song Demo, is non stop hardcore. Some songs more metal influenced than others but my personal favorites are; “Redemption” and “Lawless By Nature“. COLD TIMES also just recorded a Split with their label mates also from P.R. ALSO expect a full length early of 2016! I am personally STOKED for new music by them! check out their 4 song Demo here –

“POINT BLANK”
LOCATION – New York City
Label – Not Like You Records
Members 
KWE – vocals
Matt A – guitar
Shuffles – drums
Danny D – bass

POINT BLANK has roots from the New York Hardcore Legendary band UNDERDOG, This amazing mix of 80’s style Hardcore Punk with “New Breed Aggressiveness”. It’s EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. If you are like me, you cant resist TRUE to the ROOT old school hardcore/punk. Their Song “Fuck off” (Click to listen) will make you smile from ear to ear almost imminently! True Punk style lyrics with hardcore riffs and drums backing them. the message is clear as day,
“FUCK OFF!”

Another song, i was blown away by was, their self-titled release “Point Blank” it’s amazing. Its a slower song but half way into the song, your head is rocking uncontrollably. Cool lyrics, cool tunes.  A MUST LISTEN!

This Band is Hardcore 101, i grew up with styles like this. There will always be a respect level for bands with a true old school sound that young bloods just won’t understand. This Band is perfect to break that barrier.  TRUE hardcore roots, Punk Style Vocals, Thrashy riffs, and just the over all feel of 4 dudes jamming the fuck out.

GO CHECK THEM OUT
