Mind Eraser at some Scion sponsored gig. I giggled at how DFJ bums out the bouncers. Blessed Offal Self Titled Tape Death metal coming highly recommended by friends who dig this stuff. While a few songs go on forever, Blessed Offal keeps them interesting with enough changes of pace to not lose me. This is pretty good. United Youth Demo Decent 88 style hardcore that goes by in the blink of an eye. I see a lot of potential for an ep. Keep going. Vaccine Crimes In Blood 5″ Painkiller Records I am glad this is a 5″ because there…

Bottled Up Records, Committed, Floorpunch, Outlast, Ten Yard Fight, The Straight Edge, Youth Of Today
Outlast Take Control 7″ Bottled Up Records A Straight Edge band from New Jersey that sounds like Youth of Today– what is this, 1997? Despite the sarcasm, this is not at all bad. They remind me more of Committed or Ten Yard Fight than Floorpunch. Gang style backups, nice breakdowns, and posi lyrics throughout. Just wish they were more creative with their song titles; they sound a bit generic. For what they do, they do it well. Favorite track = “Power for Change”.

A Chorus of Disapproval, Absolution, Floorpunch, Not Sorry, React! Records, Youth Of Today
Not Sorry Our Choices 7″ React! Records First thing to mind- sick album art! Five songs of old school Straight Edge hardcore. Sounds a bit like Floorpunch meets XChorusX and a bit (yes, yes- a very tiny bit) of Absolution for good measure. Think gang style back-ups, lot’s of “Busts!”, and some hard mosh. I don’t hear the Youth of Today influence that people have thrown around with this band. Big points for them going with this style and not sounding overly generic. The lyrics are actually quite good- introspective and well planned out. They sound like a promising live…

Interview was conducted during March of 2007 by Justin Bragg. Originally, this interview would have been published in Quick Fix Magazine. Photos by Fred Hammer and Brian Froustet. *** JB: Ok, so lets get the formalities out of the way- who is who and what do they play? Tim McMahon – Vocals, Ed McKirdy – Guitar, Jason Jammer – Drums, Tim Kriependorf – bass *** JB: You guys are obviously going for a different style when compared to your previous bands. Vocally, I noticed you were trying something different as well. Was this intentional? I mean, when I first heard…

Floorpunch, Six Feet Under Records, Straight Ahead
Floorpunch New Jersey LP Six Feet Under Records I mean, what more do you want me to say about Floorpunch? Everything is here, the demo, the seven inch, all three compilation tracks, the LP, and the famed, unreleased, possibly thought lost, Straight Ahead cover. The only thing missing from this is the unreleased instrumental on the demo tape of the LP. There was talk of that tape (which is a magnificent, gnarly, recording of the LP which is probably the best recording of Floorpunch) being issued on LP, but, apparently, the master tape is currently MIA. I ripped a nice…

Pictures courtesy of Start Today Fanzine (Nice Hardware Fanzine shirt on me) This show was hyped up for awhile as I recall. Smash & Grab was the new band for three members of Floorpunch together with members of Shark Attack and American Nightmare. Yeah, we were pretty curious. Bane and No Warning also played along with a couple others. I think I headed to this show with Jay Fisher and maybe Jim Lundy and a few other friends of ours. Smash & Grab had shirts for sale before they played and I got a chance to catch up with a…

Destroy Babylon recently posted this video of Floorpunch playing at Manville 8-3-97. You can see me all over this! I don’t remember a ton from this show…Vision also played (really early for some reason…I think they had to leave???) and maybe The Purpose. Someone on the Livewire Board said Fastbreak too but I don’t think they did…they played Manville the next weekend with Hands Tied, In My Eyes, and some others and then the next year with Fit For Abuse (!). A lot of familiar faces in the crowd. I can see Chris Oliver, Mickey, Matt Molnar, Matt Smith, Joe…
