First off, i thought bands were sliding into a slump of unimaginative and awful band names...
Divorce Money is a awesome band name, but that's the least of what matters right now.
Okay, so i first heard of this band from seeing their tape on the Youth Attack store but never got to hear them cause it was sold out for awhile. I was going to impulse by the tape just because like i said, the band name rules. The band posted they had like 5 left and i was able to cop one before the YA! nerds bought second copies for themselves. Something about this rubs me the right way. Its noisy and chaotic but not in a 'this is fucking bullshit, turn it off' kinda way, does that make sense, i don't know. The music is pretty straight forward 'chaotic' punk rock with whinny drawn out screamy vocals. Most bands like this i probably wouldn't give a shit to see live, but for some reason listening to this makes me really want to see them. I must point out that the second side of this tape is bullshit and you should probably just avoid it, but since the sides aren't labeled, it's the side with the one drawn out bull shit song. I wish the lyrics came with this, i can only imagine what they are like.
MATURE SITUATIONS- Cracked Pelvis EP
Another impulse buy that turned out semi well. Mature Situations are from Toronto, Canada, a fucking hot spot for awesome punk bands right now. Mature Situations features Chris Colohan of Left For Dead and Cursed fame on drums. The songs are pretty generic and the lyrics aren't much different. The first song is called 'Fuck The Kids' im sure you can guess what the song is about. Sounds like Blitz. But like a friend once said, if its not Blitz i'll get my Blitz fix through Criminal Damage. Download it.

GIVE- s/t
I saw GIVE twice over the summer and each time it was fucking awesome. They played the 1511 in the summer with Mindset and it was fucking wild. The used the strobe light the whole time and i kept glancing over and seeing Aaron Miller grooving his body. Saw them the day after in Chicago and it was even better. Band features members of Lion Of Judah which should tell you a little of how its going to sound. GIVE plays a very groovy 80's hardcore style. Lots of spacy guitar work and singy type vocals. I saw somewhere that they were going to release something on Dischord...? I'm not sure if that is true or not but if so thats pretty awesome. There is absolutely no reason for you to download this release, just buy it, its well worth it. You can order it from Moonflower Records/straight from them (link below). When i received my copy of the LP in the mail it had a giant flower cut out taped to the mailer which i thought was cool, i dig it when bands take time to do small shit like that. Also inside the record was a personalized letter thanking me for purchasing the record and Josh of GIVE asking if i was at the Indianapolis show and reflecting on how wild it was, very cool. Shit like that is cool.

MANIPULATION- Demo Tape
Manipulation are from Chicago and if i am not mistaken features members of Chronic Seizure? I think that's right. Straight forward punk/hardcore. I really like the vocal patterns, one song reminds me of a Never Healed song, weird i guess. I don't know. Fucking buy it or download it. You can probably find one if you go to a show in Chicago, i see them everywhere.

FAN DEATH- Demo Tape
Fan Death is from Houston, Texas. This is NOT what i thought this was going to sound like when i bought it. I figured this would be some 'weird noisy shit' by just looking at the art. This is fast, grindy sometimes moshy punk. Kinda just sounds like some kids wanted to play fast hardcore and it came out being a grind band. It's alright i guess. Vomax would probably really like this.
