Punk? yeah, but also big doses of hard rock, garage rock or simply classic rock'n'roll. Tremulous: to display timidity or nervousness, or shake or quiver slightly. It’s an odd word, one not used commonly in the modern English language - you’re far more likely to come across it in James Joyce’s Ulysses, for example, than in your average hardcore record. But here we are, with Western Addiction’s new full-length, Tremulous, an album embodying the anxiety, dread, worry and anguish omnipresent in modern day America. "The word ‘tremulous’ just felt right,” says frontman Jason Hall. “It sums up the theme of the entire record in one word.” Hall puts a premium on the words associated with Western Addiction; every song tells a story, sometimes with uncomfortable specifics and every title and lyric is meant to resonate with the listener on a different level.

With Tremulous finally out in the world, Hall’s goal for 2017 feels surprisingly attainable while at the same time emotionally exhausting. “I want our band to be understood,” he concludes. “I don’t think we’ve ever found our people. We’re in this netherworld of punk: We’re not poppy, we’re not fun, we’re loud but we’re not a metal band, and the truly crazy hardcore bands would probably think we don’t fit in. I just want to be understood".

Political, yet humorous punk rock band from Winnipeg, Canada. Formed in 1989, they were one of the first bands to sign to "Fat Wreck Chords". In 1997 singer / songwriter / bassist John K. Samson left the group to pursue other interests and eventually start another band, The Weakerthans. The remaining members of the group continued to work on Propagandhi material as well as starting their own record label "G7 Welcoming Committee". First albums sounded as many pop punk or melodic hardcore bands from the 90s decade, but later Propagandhi started its own adventure into the progressive rock field without forget its usual melodies. "failed States" is frankly hard to listen for first time, but little by little you can to discover another way hardcore punk, which can to remind a bit styles such as: progressive rock, post-hardcore, sludge and more. There exist two issues, this one with twelve songs and another one with three bonus tracks, both made by label "Epitaph Records". Specially recommended for those who love to discover, to re-invent and to experiment with new sensations. Brilliant

"supporting caste"

"supporting caste" is the fifth full-length album by the punk rock band Propagandhi. It was released on March 10, 2009 through their own label "G7 Welcoming Committee Records" in Canada and US, "Hassle Records" in the UK and Europe. It is the first Propagandhi release with second guitarist David Guillas and the first not released on former longtime label Fat Wreck Chords. It is the third Propagandhi release on their own label. The album was recorded at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado. In part to stop or impede the leaking of the album, the band set up a page with an option to receive two high-quality songs from the album before release, by donating as little as $1 to one of three activist organizations supported by the band. This page also links to various pre-orders of the album. The band uploaded the entire album onto their MySpace page on March 3, 2009 for fans to hear ahead of its release. The album was critically acclaimed and was voted by punknews.org users as the best album of 2009. The excellent artwork is by Canadian artist Kent Monkman, entitled "The Triumph of Mischief". And both, artwork and lyrics are charged of political messages and vindications for different causes. Musically and lyrically continue to become in complicated forms and structures closer to prog rock, symphonic rock and even some kind of heavy metal. Truly original

When Bay Area pop punk outfit Tsunami Bomb came to a close in 2005, drummer Gabe Lindeman and guitarist/vocalist Jay Northington were left without a band, but not without their desire to keep playing music. It just made sense for the friends to continue writing and practicing together, and so that's what they did in an old woodshop in Petaluma, CA. They christened the project Nothington in the spring of 2006 and posted some demos online, though at that point, they still had yet to figure out what exactly they wanted to do with the music. A few weeks later, the duo hooked up with guitarist/ vocalist Chris Matulich (whose own punk act Enemy You had been idle for the last few years), and with the final addition of bassist Mike Hicks (a vet of the local scene), Nothington was complete and ready for action. The quartet signed to Los Angeles based "BYO Records" that summer and hit the studio. Channeling acts closer to post-hardcore emo and pop punk likes: Leatherface, HDQ, Social Distortion and Tom Waits, their Southern tinged punk first appeared on wax via the "One for the Road" 7" in late 2006, released through local indie Left Off the Dial. Their full-length "in the end" dated to 2017 february and was issued through label "Red Scare Records".

Formed in 1980 and discontinued in 1983, Minor Threat is considered one of the most influential hardcore punk bands ever. They released one full-length and three EPs. After breaking up, frontman Ian MacKaye resurfaced in Fugazi. Originally released in 1981 as two 7" Ep's the first album of Minor Threat is a true classic in the punk-rock history.  Formed in 1980 and discontinued in 1983, Minor Threat is considered one of the most influential american hardcore punk bands of the early 80s. They released one full-length and three EPs. After breaking up, frontman Ian MacKaye resurfaced in Fugazi in 1983 and continued his work with the prestigious label "Dischord Records". Minor Threat and few bands more (Bad Brains, Teen Idles, SOA or Government Issue) were part of a small wave of new kids and bands in washington DC, many of whom were not into drugs and alcohol. Some of the bands made mention of this in their lyrics, and Minor Threat’s song "Straight Edge" coined the phrase that is now used to describe a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle. Ian MacKaye considers straight edge to be just his personal ideology and doesn't even like the straight edge movement or judge non-straight edge people. But few years after straight edge became as a movement and 80´s later appeared an extreme group called "hard-line" which its members were vegans and radically intolerants with other kind of way of life. Frankly strictly musical Minor Threat is not an exceptional band in aspect, its style is very simple and almost amateur. A kind of play punk-rock faster with melodical voice, but even in Washingtong there was a band very more interesting at all: Bad Brains. In another coast of atlanthic were the second punk wave with bands really innovate like Discharge or The Exploited. The most important element in Minor Threat was not the music but the new ideas and new way of life in the rock´n´roll culture since its born in 1957.
