RZL DZL - "Ignorance is Bliss" video

In times of stress and bewilderment (like the ones we're going through), one of the best things to do is to take it easy and chill to some party hardcore. This site's been a bit heavy on the straight edge content recently, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy decent hardcore music just because is made from big-time party animals.

One perfect example is RZL DZL, the infamous Detroit hardcore/rock outfit. These guys are guaranteed to get the party going and lift your spirits with their fun approach to hardcore. They're filling a serious gap in that lovable 'party hardcore' genre. If you think about it, hardcore always had its fun side (early Warzone, Gang Green, Murphy's Law, even early Dog Eat Dog - you name it). The way I see it, you don't even have to be into  partying to enjoy such music, just as you don't have to be straight edge to listen to all these awesome edge bands out there. At the end of the day, we all like pizza, chilling out and having fun, which is what RZL DZL is all about - so we can all relate on that level.

So here, dedicated to all the party animal TYS readers, Rizzle Dizzle straight from the Lockin' Out roster (also an edge affiliated record label if I'm not mistaken, at least in the past). They might have grown up a little since this video (shot a coupla years back), but that means nothing as long as they're laying down cool hardcore r'n'r! Cause at the end of the day... Ignorance is truly bliss!

FRESH TRASH- 'La Jungla' album review

Ohhh yeah--it's time to move yer lazy ass!

Fresh Trash is a hardcore band from Barcelona, Spain that is ready to rock your summer with some kick-ass grooves and a high-energy, fun take on hardcore! 
To make things clear and simple, Fresh Trash don't sound metal at all (as you can probably guess from the cover art - heh), because they play a form of punky rockin hardcore which to me sounds like a crossover between California 80s hardcore (i.e. Insted, Uniform Choice) and some more trashy stuff like Ill Repute, Circle Jerks, even early Suicidal Tendencies. Add to that a serious pinch of unadulterated rock 'n' roll and you got the Fresh Trash cocktail!
A bit of background info on Fresh Trash is that they used to be Vicious Circle and this is their first release as Fresh Trash (15 songs, half sung in Spanish, half sung in English). It is out on Sell Our Souls Records, a label that specializes in messy/fast hardcore so you know this is the real deal! In the same vein of Vicious Circle's serious lyrics (i.e. If you don't like pizza, fuck you),  Fresh Trash sing about simple things we can all understand, like living close to the big city (La Jungla De Neon), bad habits (Weed & Paranoia, or Kids, Fools & Drunks) and some classic punk territory (You Don't Know Yourself, Right Or Wrong). As I said, they come from a beach town in Barcelona, so it's totally logical to have this lighthearted, 'we don't care' attitude. Maybe more of us should be like that!
All I can say is I love this all-out approach! If you like songs about food and happiness and like to take your stereo at the beach and disturb the trendies with some loud hardcore, then this is your record! As for me, fast energetic hardcore and cold coffee fuels me to the max!
