Toe to Toe

Toe to Toe is a Hardcore band from Sydney, Australia. Early Toe to Toe shows around 1992 were summer backyard barbecues and punk venues around Sydney quickly building up a reputation as a formidable live act. A debut 7 inch single "Slap Of Reality" was recorded and sold out in a little over a month, the follow up "Unanimous Points Decision" sold equally as fast. Both singles are still a much valued collectors item around the world.

Smoke or Fire

Smoke or Fire is an American punk rock band from Boston, Massachusetts.

Originally calling themselves Jericho, the boys released their debut album, When the Battery Dies, in 2000. Their fan base grew as they played DIY basement shows and small clubs throughout the Northeast.

Mountain Man

There are two artists called Mountain Man: 1. Mountain Man is a group of three young women, based in Bennington, Vermont - Amelia Meath, Molly Sarle, and Alex Sauser-Monnig- who sing with or without Alex's guitar. There's a fragile balance between the three very different styles and personalities in these three young women. They are all songwriters, and having all three approaches with the same treatment on the same album is really satisfying.

Idle Hands

1) The five member band from Minneapolis seems to follow the path blazed by Joy Division while attempting to offer a fresh perspective, though it often surfaces with a a sound straight-from-the-80s. 2) Descedents and Wipers influenced punk from Münster, Germany. 3) Idle Hands (1999-2002) was a poppy rock group from California. They played a very different style of music from most of their label-mates on Trustkill Records.

D.O.A.

1) Vancouver's D.O.A. were an early and extremely influential punk rock band. Formed in 1978, they quickly got down to business by releasing the Disco Sucks EP on singer/guitarist Joey Shithead's own Sudden Death label. Along with other early pioneers, they blazed the trail to a North American punk scene by putting out records and touring with virtually no existing 'scene' infrastructure to rely on. Early shows included clashes with audience members and police, and they can attest that police riots at punk shows were not strictly an LA occurrence.
