Hope For Youth - Luchar Y Crecer (2012)

Who said that spaniards don't know how to make great hardcore punk? From the land that saw one of the most important anarchist movements in history, from the piece of earth that was oppressed by the Franco dictatorship until 1975 and its been ruled by its remains since then. Here you got compromised hardcore with heartfelt and combative lyrics, lots of anger and positiveness, fifty-fifty. Antifascist music with some youth crew spirit and lots of energy. You can download their "Luchar Y Crecer" via Bandcamp right now.

The Menzingers - On The Impossible Past (2012)

We've been missing for a month but now we're back and running and we come with one of the years most expected albums that leaked 4 days ago. A band that has grown into every orgcore appreciator and have matured their sound in so many ways that I can't really explain with simple words. They were huge when they started and they are getting even better as the years and the records pass by. This is their third LP, the follow-up to Chamberlain Waits which was a great leap forwards to the new sound of the Scranton's sons. This time you can hear The Menzingers on their most mature, intimate, deep and heartfelt work. Top of the year 2012 for sure; check the list at the end of the year.
