Shipwreck

This one on your left is the one i called as Mirage, second 7" that Shipwreck has done and their first for one of the best and most orginal record label that has putting out the most solid released in underground music over the last 5 years plus Shipwreck is has become one of my favorite new bands over the last year. I still never surprised by the kind of albums their label Deathwish Inc. over the last few years. Shipwrecks uniqueness and darker influenced brand of hardcore really drew me in. They have a very raw early Cleveland hardcore sound,which of course brings to mind the legendary Integrity/Ringworm/Six Feet Deep. (I will be doing a future post on S.F.D for you that have not heard of them)

This current record is a "teaser 7 inch, for t heir new record that is coming out later this year. Each song has a very original and raw sound that I haven't heard from many bands over the last year or two in hardcore. The recording and song are unpolished but in a good way the are written with raw heaviness with guitar riffs that shred but without over doing it. Many bands can conform to the basic song structure and generic chord elements of hardcore but still don't know how to keep it original but shipwreck takes the cake away from the millions of bands trying to re-create basic heavy hardcore.

I was lucky enough to book them a few weeks back in Evansville and of course was blown away by their performance, lucky I have got to see this band on 3 separate occasions one being at the Earth Crisis reunion show in Baltimore. I urge you to buy this records if you are feeling it. Both 7" are available steadily straight from the labels and in distror online.I would upload the album and put it up for downloading but this band deserve the money so if you like what you hear pick it up yourself. Give a listen to a few tunes on their myspace page: Myspace.com/Shipwreckwv
