Back in stock!

This EP was out of print for a short while but is now repressed, and anyone that has just become turned on to Endless Blockade through their new album on 20 Buck Spin will want to pick this up pronto as well. The Toronto quartet has generated a lot of "buzz" lately after getting endorsed by the likes of Eric Wood from Man Is The Bastard and just generally cleaving skulls with their ultra brutal, zero-bullshit brand of extreme hardcore that combines their influences from the West Coast powerviolence scene (Crossed Out, Man is The Bastard, Capitalist Casualties, Neanderthal, Infest) with a massive dose of creeping tarpit sludge a la Corrupted and Eyehategod and dark, epic hardcore thrash served up in ultra brief chunks of violent power. Yeah, these guys are like the North American counterpart to Japan's SU19B who mine a similiarly brutal vein, but Endless Blockade are far thrashier, more punk, and they have a smart, literate edge to their lyrics and overall presentation that sets them apart. Come Friendly Bombs doesn't have the crazy electronic noise that made Primitive one of the best new hardcore albums of 2008, but the eleven tracks that are featured here are nonetheless pissed and crushing as hell, songs like "Pimp Killer" and "Colombian Education" and "Therapy Though Violence" set off like cluster bombs, smashing feirce blasting hardcore against huge swampy Sabbath riffs and yawning voids of blackened slow-motion sludge. Awesome. These guys are the angriest band I've heard since Watchmaker, and funny enough, the cool abstract artwork on the record sleeve for Come Friendly Bombs was created by none other than Brian Livoti from Watchmaker. Limited edition of 1,000 copies.
