New Music Recommendations

I don’t know what’s in the water in Australia, but damn they’ve got some heavy bands. Sydney, Australia’s metalcore quartet, Justice For The Damned, just released the most appropriately named record: STAY RELENTLESS. This truly relentless album bulldozes the listener from the first track. Listen & mosh. FFO: Orthodox, Great American Ghost, CELL, Fox Lake, Mugshot.
