If you need some new hardcore, there's really only a handful of bright spots to look these days. Seems like most of the stuff that's turning up in the Christian bookstores is pretty lackluster or just some old rehash of a thousand albums you already have.
The small labels you seem to gamble on sometimes, and wonder if their bands are half as good as their promo material claim them to be. Maybe it's because he's been around the scene for so long, or maybe he's just got lucky whatever the case, Jason Dunn from Facedown has given us the label for true hardcore.
This CD is going to put you back a whopping 2 bucks and with it you get to sample one track from Dodgin' Bullets, two from Figure Four, two from Born Blind and two from the mighty Overcome.
Within the CD is also an offer to distro it as well. Facedown is out to get this music in the hands of everyone, and is willing to help you make a small bit of money out of it as well. If you've been wondering about any of these bands then you need to just breakdown (pun intended) and get a copy of this. You are sure to be spending some more cash on getting some of the full lengths but this will guide in which ones to get first.
