Reign Supreme "American Violence"
Format: CDEP, 7"EP, Digital

Reign Supreme are one of the heaviest/hardest metallic hardcore bands to surface from Philadelphia in over a decade. Led by former Blacklisted member Jay Pepito on vocals, they wield the same devastating musical hammer as bands like Crowbar, Terror, and Integrity. Yet come out swinging with a conviction and rage unlike anyone before them.

In 2006, Reign Supreme unleashed their classic demo on an unsuspecting hardcore world (now released as a 7"EP titled "F*** the Weak" on the Rock Vegas label). In early 2007, the band released a 12" Single on Robby Redcheeks' Dead By 23 label. This marked the first time that a 12" Single was recorded and released for a single show.

"American Violence" is Reign Supreme's newest brutal effort, and first release for Malfunction. Recorded by Will Putney @ The Machine Shop (Lamb Of God, V.O.D), "American Violence" is a five round sonic war. With songs like "Iscariot" and "To A Dead God", they rise up to strike down with a bone shaking violence that few could possess. Leading the pack while thinning the herd with their unflinching power, confidence, and intensity.

Life Long Tragedy "Runaways"
Format: CD, LP, Digital

With a live energy and drive that is second to none, Life Long Tragedy are one the best California hardcore bands out there today. Their approach is both musically melodic and brutal, fusing the heart of their influences (Unbroken, Modern Life Is War, etc) and the rage of contemporary hardcore (Terror, Integrity). All of it uniquely driven by their own passionate lyrical writings.

Over a year in the making, "Runaways" captures the raw beauty that weeps from the core of Life Long Tragedy. Songs like "The Bottomless Hole" and "Hey Death" showcase their bold growth, finding confidence at slower tempos and in more open song writing than their contemporaries. While "Youth" and "Ignoring Lessons" race forth with the rabid rebellious energy that Life Long Tragedy have been previously been known for. All of this is complimented by some of the most heart wrenching lyrics and crude melodies in recent memory. All together, these qualities make "Runaways" an infectious effort that will be championed my many for years to come.

Trash Talk "Plagues..."
Format: 7"EP, CD

"Plagues" is their dizzying soundtrack to the impending and unavoidable apocalypse. Comprised of six violent anthems to the diseased and destructive survivors of a dead world. With every explosive note, they delve deeper into that bleak vision: "All major cities have been laid to waste and survival has become daily life. This is the end of the world. Romantically doomed. The age of innocence is over and everybody knows we're fucked. Most have come to terms and have let defeat set in. Some haven't. Ostracized, morally outcast, and devoid of feeling, our pack has to outlast hunger, freezing cold, scorching heat, dehydration, and self destructive tendencies to survive to see just one more day. Everything has changed so fast and so drastically that this is all a blur. A ball of flesh and metal. An unwanted child of nothing..." Plagues are upon us...

The CD version of this release titled "Plagues...Walking Disease" merges both the "Plagues" 7"EP material, and their celebrated "Walking Disease" release, together for the first time on one CD. 17 songs in all, "Plagues...Walking Disease" shows Trash Talk at their most toxic and infectious. Listen for yourself and experience why Trash Talk are considered one of the best bands in hardcore today.
