I liked TWITCHING TONGUES’ old stuff, but I didn’t love it– it just didn’t quite click with me for whatever reason. That’s not a knock on them, because we have to consider ‘degree of difficulty’: what they are trying to pull off is some advanced-level shit. Anybody can bang out some retarded moshcore songs in a weekend, but following in the footsteps of what IMO is one of the 90s most original and talented hardcore bands (LIFE OF AGONY) is tricky shit.
Well, it may have taken them a while to get there but with their new 7″ they definitely fucking pulled it off– I feel like I am 15 again, sitting in my room with the lights off feeling sorry for myself and listening to Keith Caputo sing about how nobody understands him and being like ‘I KNOW THAT FEEL BRO I AM ALSO MISUNDERSTOOD BY MY PEERS *cri*’ In all seriousness though, this is some top-level shit and I am very stoked to hear this sound make a comeback- I just can’t decide whether to mosh or slit my wrists!!
Didn’t even know there was a band named after a sick Only Living Witness song.
they do have a bit of the OLW vibe too, don’t they? not a bad thing!
both bands would gladly go on my NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL MOSHING! VOL. 4 sampler.
Backed, these guys are one of the most talented hardcore bands out there right now to be able to pull off this style. I dunno, when you build up breakdowns like this, it almost makes them more heavy
Expected some really intense self-hatred-core, got the kind of thing I used to listen to when I was thirteen and didn’t know music with yelling existed.
u still have the ability, but my disappoint is high right now.
bro if this doesn’t scream self-hatred to you, i don’t know what does
It’s more the musical style, I’m sure the lyrics are pretty spot on.
I just can’t get into it at all, it’s probably good doe.
I got the same vibe from the old stuff but liked it anyways. TBH I always got that vibe from Life of Agony too, just can’t really get into that dudes voice.
I actually like this new TT much more than any LOA I’ve ever heard. haha
Best band in hardcore
LIFEOFAGONYCORE??? BACKING DIS SHIT HARDER THAN VISIONOFDISORDERCORE OR SNAPCASECORE. LETTUCE BE CEREAL AND LETTUCE GOES FOR RECORD SAYING THAT “RIVER RUNS RED” IS STILL THE BEST HARDCORE RECORD OF THE 90′S.
SNAPCASECORE definitely needs to make a comeback
Y NO MENTION OF THEM COVERING CANDLEMASS???? I THINK THEM NOT ONLY DOING LIFEOFAGONYCORE BUT THEM POSSIBLY DOING SWEDISHDOOMMETALCORE IS SOME SRS NEXT LEVEL STUFF. LIKE AS IF THE SONG “FEED YOUR DISEASE” DOESN’T START OFF WITH A GOOD RANDOM EARACHECORE RIFF(A.K.A POSSIBRU BOLT THROWER RIFF) AND THEN CLEARLY GOES STRAIGHT INTO LOACORE….BUT DATS LIKE SEVERAL DIFFERENTS CORES AND IT’S ONLY A 7 INCH. THIS = WHY I BACK THIS BAND HARD.
Yuck, the 90s metal-worship makes my butt hurt :/ I wish you hadn’t tole me about that part.
somebody says 90′s metal worship??? im so there… gimme sum early deftones/korn and 90s earache/roadrunner anyday brah!!!
this.
only Snapcase cover art is real
Oh, God help me
The river runs red and I think I’m dyin’
Just thinking of that warm Caputo tone is making me :(
River Run Red was one of my favorite “cri maiself 2 sleep” album in middle school, feelsbatman.mpq =(
Also, who else wants to see Life of Agony with Mina Caputo on vocals (no homer)?
Chortle @ “no homer”
HOLY FUCK THAT LAST MOSH AT THE END. Took me a while to get used to Life Of Agony’s vocals, but once it clicks, it’s a pretty interesting sound – especially considering how gnarly the music is.
initially i didn’t like LOA’s vocals either, but after I got used to it I realized they are what makes the band so fucking crushingly heavy– there is something about that vocal style that screams self-hatred and regret more than actual screaming does
Might sound like a gay over analysis, but it might have something to do with the fact that you really need to give a total of zero fucks to be willing to sing melodically in a genre where you can easily hide behind generic screaming. Nobody’s gonna make fun of you for your bark for being off-key, but juxtaposing singing with brutal mosh parts is basically expresses an open desire to get accosted by a portion of your audience for having wimpy, unbrutal vocals. So, if you’re knowingly setting yourself up for that kind of criticism, kinda says something about the sort of person you are.
i c youve thought about this
back any and all variations of this in hardcore, and feel that it is an essential component of REGRETCORE. One of the worst and most important parts of being a strung out piece of shit loser is being completely embarrassed by your life, and what better way to express that than sounding like a shitty hard rock band? #fromblisstodevastationcore
Pefectly stated– this exactly!
no mention of keith c being a lady now?
he was definitely in b4 against me guy
Personally, idgaf about that sort of thing. I can only imagine the balls it takes be be a public performer (especially when you have a hardcore fanbase) and come out publicly with that sort of thing. If she’s happy with it, good for her.
*it
good for it
^ this. Not interested, no care, not my business, not relevant to their music and no desire to derail the discussion.
^ U almost said that w’ a straight-face D.
i dont get it. what are you getting at? i really do not give a shit and i am much more interested in talking about this 7″ than keith caputo’s sex change.
Oh sry, mistook u for that OTHER Sgt. D, lets pleez get back to our super-srs, scholarly discussion of REAL MUSIC.
Maybe u need to re-read what this site is all about ?
<3
ONLY ANTHONY FANTANO CAN JUDGE MEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥
lol i only commented to make the comment space in this sexshinsmaller and thinner
lulz!
one liner boom!
So why is this LOAcore and not Entombedcore? Is it the vocals? I’m asking because I’m a poser who has never listened to LOA and I am curious.
listen to LOA. it’s not only vocals, but that is a big part.
because they sound almost exactly like LOA, and not even slightly like Entombed?
I thought it was bad when someone called Iron Age Entombedcore. When did Entombedcore become the default label for everything?
How long before every two-bit band with some metal-y distortion in the guitars is called Entombedcore?
lol @ people using my joke genre name
boom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJp6cfXHXsY
These sound INCREDIBLY similar to me.
not sheriff u have functioning eardrums but teh vocals
Because I definitely don’t hear a single Boss “Heavy Metal” HM-2 into a Marshall amp.
This sounds like Nirvana 2002/Furbowl with no groove, then pile some Ghost ripoff eerie vocals on top. Not as good as the real thing. There, sorteditout4u!
Darn, I would’ve caught all this and not liked it at all had I only known about the tr00 metal bands you mentioned! Thanks, for a second there I was under the impression this band actually didn’t have anything to do with deservedly obscure Swedish DM or neo dadrock!
I have srs never heard any of these bands and I am ok with keeping it that way.
Ghost is the guys from Repugnant playing really boring fruity hard rock in dumb costumes to appeal to hipsters (and admittedly, a larger amount of chicks) instead of shit-kicking Repulsion worship in their day job band.
I disagree totally, to my ears this sounds liek a subtle mixture of 24-7 SPYZ and MASTERS HAMMER w’ slight hints of BEN FOLDS FIVE & JODECI + a nice, smooth finish of sublimated transsexualism.
Master’s Hammer and Jodeci!
Its like you can see my shemale seduction playlist.
Get outta my Zune, bro.
When aerated properly further nuances of PRETTY RICKY & DIAMETREGON surface to caress the palate. I recommend pairing w’ a nice coprophilia or auto-erotic asphyxiation.
<3 the BLASPHEMY FOR SATAN LP
that’s a sweet bolt thrower riff they start off with

9:45, ARE U MOSING FEGET
gotta love the fact that jeremy from lifeless is totally the dude in grey shirt crowdkilling up front, srsly if theres someone who should be able to scare kids in the pit its the singer of fucking lifeless
good to see hardcore is the last bastion of no girls aloud show environments
the five or six bishes show up to metal gigs on the reg ruin the whole thing; i just wanna get sweaty with some bros with equally beefy arms and not worry about feeling self-conscious about my testosterone y’know
Literally half of any typical hardcore crowd is girls, they just stand around the edges except for the crazy ones
You probably just didn’t notice them because most of them are grose, and if you are like me, grose girls are basically non-entities which your eyes don’t even really pick up (like driftwood scattered on a beach or something- how am i supposed to notice each individual piece??)
pretty accurate assessment, actually
I’m laughing extremely hard and very depressed at the same time. Fighting the urge to WK right now (srs)
Help me stay strong, brothers of SYWH!
THIS
Ghost is the super grose, grose. Brb, acquiring a pope hat to play dress-up with my band.
That was meant for my homey Gloomy Grim up there.
I first heard about these guys from one of Vincent Bennett’s shirts– good shit!
Who wants to play trombone in my dog eat dog inspired band? Must have pro gear/look and at least 1 pair of snowboard pants.
I’m down. We will need a sax player too. I actually listened to this album(and again right now) the other day on spotify because spotify told me it was similar to Biohazard. Not sure why I decided to listen to Urban Discipline though.
“You’re the King if you can sing like the king of Rock & Roll
Filled with soul and all fucked up on Demerol”
This isn’t really my thing, but this is way heavy in a 100% unique way that I can’t really describe. Backed.
“Aint-got-time-4-me-core”
underrated comment, imo
This is kinda meh compared to LOA, but backed for giving the style a go.
River Runs Red is def one of the best HC albums of the 90′s… also notable for DAT GUITAR TONE.
I like Ugly way more– RRR has 3 or so really good songs (Respect, Underground, Method Of Groove) and quite a few stinkers. Ugly has way way way better production too.
Surprised you prefer the ALT rock album to the HC album, but it probably has better songwriting.
RRR fit perfectly with my 16 year old self, whereas Ugly didn’t fit at all with my 18 year old self… so it’s mostly nostalgia.
I didn’t like LOA until I was like 23-25 (couldn’t get past the ghey vocals when I was a kid), so I was ready for some regretcore alt rock.
“YER JUST LIKE YER FADDA!”
totally agreed. RRR has those skits doe
THIS, guitar tone and recording quality in general is one of the things that kept me listening to LOA way more than I would have otherwise. Especially considering it was 90′s HC and the recordings usually sucked
So sick and heavy as fuck. I really like this a lot, especially the vox. A+
Just sounds like butt rock to me….
Also, Nirvana was the Nickleback of the 90′s
I support your efforts to slay sacred cows, but The Offspring are the real ‘Nickleback of the 90s’
The Offspring are the real ‘Nickleback of the 90s’
rly? I never knew that, would love to hear elaboration if you’re willing (srs)
two lines of thought on this
1- inexplicably popular despite nobody admitting openly they like them, which also describes 311 to a t
2- legions of butthurt tr00 fags exist primarily to bitch about them even tho they’re pretty upfront about making music for people who don’t give a shit about “music” as a lifestyle choice and just want some jams, tho 90s green day fit the bill more on that front
Occasionally I bump into Pat the singer for the band Train at the dog-park, I always hit him with something along the lines of, “Hey dude, what’s ur band Nickelback/Matchbox 20/3rd Eye Blind/Counting Crows up to these days?” & then I go on and on about how much I love music piracy & how Roethlisberger is a tard. He has the most amazingly pedestrian taste in everything. I’m pretty sure he hasn’t caught on yet. Is Drake the Ja Rule of today?
Ask him how he came up with the lyrics to Walkin’ On The Sun
Really? I know tons of no fuck giving semi bros/bros who love them the same way and for the same reasons they love Green Day – they were the gateway to skate punk. That’s totally how it was for me too, although I definitely liked Offspring a lot less than Green Day.
I’m really glad I never encounter such tr00 fags.
brb adding this band to my “after the alcohol” playlist
These guys look like freshman TKE pledges at any State U. What is the source of their angst? Having to switch to business mgmt because the engineering pre-reqs were too hard? Being second or third string benchwarmers throughout high school despite all the Hatebreed and Terror they listened to?
I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them was IN terror at some point (the one dude from TT is also in Nails and recorded the Xibalba album so seems like there is a high statistical likelihood at least one member was in Terror for at least a little)
“if you’re over the age of 30, you probably know someone who has been in terror”
I know Taylor and can confirm that this is not true (YET), but considering his prolific band experience and diverse songwriting abilities, it certainly seems likely to be in his future.
Not sure if you knew this, but just to bust balls I’ll throw out that both Taylor and Colin were in (do u remember) Fight Everyone.
Woah, woah, woah. Two members were in a retarded XXXXmoshcoreXXXX band that made AFB and Throwdown look intelligent!
Def made Throwdown look intelligent, IDK about AFB tho, I’d say they were on the same level as FE except less well executed imo
bact
definitely too beta to be pikes, gotta go with teke
Not on Spotify yet :(. But apparently Slightly Stoopid put out a new album, so I’m pretending I’m 17 again and super into skateboarding/white kid reggae!
In b4 tattered falling sickness hoodie and GED
aww kickass!!! did not know this via being married to the liberry right now due to nursing skewl brah….
will mediafire this new SS album fersher..
Listen to dat ucking snare. Pouuup.
Vocals make it sound like Highonfirecore. Do not want.
You know the music does it’s job well when even SYWH commentors are acting a little negative towards it.
agreed. i know that when i smell sywh controversy, thats when my ears pick up.
when half the people here are like “this sucks” and the other half are like “holy shit this rules”, its time to give it a listen and see what all the fuss is about.
and the verdict:
twitching tongues = now back tard by me
(which is irrelevant to everyone else here but whatever)
opinions are for fags, right
+1
+2!!!
yes… yes they certainly are ….
Type O Negative for kids in AirMax 95s they picked up at Journey’s in the mall.
jokes, but srs I have trouble getting this on wax even though they were pretty legit live

Will I like this in 5 years?
Definitely sounds like something old people would like
If so, you should start a military regretcore band. No idea how it would sound, but the idea seems cool.
If by then you have 5 PNA points, then possibly.
Are you in a sxe moshcore band with excess samples in it?
If you answered “yes” to the above question, then the featured music sample is your future.
I don’t know much about bands from the 90′s that weren’t followtheleaderbonussamplercdcore, but overall this sounds 90′s as fuck, and if it’s basically Life of Agony I need to stop sleeping on that shit and get around to checking it out. Probably this too. Thanks brah!
For some reason (pleasantly) surprised to see this on SYWH – I know you are a big fan of what I consider “regular” hardcore, but was under the impression you followed it less. I guess my impression was ill founded, considering the recent xibalba podcast.
This post ruled! So does the song
Backtard – LOA were killer, this pushes many of the same miserable, chunky buttons.
Really like this band! Thanks.
So much negative faggotry up in here. :( praying4uguys
But TT is one of those bands that when I first heard I was like “wait, wtf is this? not sure if want” and then it just clicked one day. But this new shit=backtard. I love what they’ve put out already, but this is such a huge improvement.
Saw them live a while back, wasn’t into them when I listened to the records but got blown away live and moshed hard, this stuff is next level doe. Fucking rager! Wood hold hands together in mandatory tuff guy pose waiting for a perfect moment to bring the mosh.
