Caravan - Chaos Is Ours (2014)
Facebook / Bandcamp
Genre: Chaotic Hardcore
Buy here
Download / Bandcamp
"Combining chaos and emotion fueled melodic hooks, Caravan is a force to be reckoned with. Their first release, Chaos is Ours, gives you a taste of what they're capable of.
Kicking it off with 'Vow', the band makes a bold statement. Take an agressive intro, combine it with some groove, soothe the pain with some melody and top it off with a sludgy outro.
Next up is Young and Forgotten. This track combines two tracks: an elevating melodic part, smashed to smithereens by it's chaotic brother The End. This shift between the two personalities of Caravan keeps the music from getting boring.
In Dahlia, the band leaves alone the chaos. This emotional serenade is a welcome resting point throughout the EP.
Chaos is Ours is without a doubt Caravans strongest track off of this release. In this song Caravan shows their true identity. Hard-hitting, groovy, chaotic and schizophrenic: they’ve kept the best for last.
Schizophrenia never sounded better."
I feel the same way, get into this.

Northbound - Death of a Slug (2014)
Genre: Pop Punk, Acoustic
Download
I've been a fan of northbound ever since his first release and am totally impressed by this new album. While the other releases were completely acoustic, Death Of A Slug offers you 5 totally catchy full band songs and five acoustic. This guy has so much potential and you should head over to his bandcamp site to download this masterpiece for pay what you want.

Pastel - Split w/ Merridew (2014)
Facebook / Tumblr
Genre: Screamo / Emo
Buy here
Download
Pastel, hailing from Bari in Italy, bring you some very damn cool screamo with en emotive edy on the two tracks they released on this split. Both songs have a certain "drive" if I can call it that, that never really let's down, maybe only when some beautiful slower parts come in to change the pace a little bit. Thoe slower parts draw some influences from the more twinkly screamo/emo side of things (think Algernon Cadwallader) but don't seem out of place in the whole of things. I also really like the fact they sing in Italian, it's a fun change of things. Give them a listen, I enjoyed them a whole lot and am eagerly waiting on what comes next for these dudes!

Flood Hardcore: All releases (Continents. , GTTRS, The Homeless, Crows-An-Wra, Midnight Souls, The Cold Harbour)
Flood Floorshows/Hardcore is one of the most promising and genuine labels we have here in Belgium. So when they gave me the green light to post their releases I was beyond stoked. So please check out these bands and their music, Flood has an eye for passionate hardcore and I know most of the people visiting this blog do to. Let's get to it!
They have some other sweet releases on their Bandcamp page (http://floodhc.bandcamp.com/) too. Go and support this awesome label any way you can, and maybe just start by liking them on Facebook and being kept up to date with all the cool things they do. Voila, FACEBOOK
FLOOD01: Continents. - ...And
Silence Anchored Our Feet In Granite
Genre : Screamo / Melodic
I loved Contintents. since the very beginning of this band and everyone who has been following the blog over the years knows this. When their debut EP came out I was playing this thing all the damn time. Anyway, this is their second release and it pretty much picks up right where the previous thing stopped. Emotive and heartfelt screamo, but they stepped things up a notch, anyway if you're into the genre this is pretty flawless.
FLOOD02: GTTRS - Sunlit World
Genre : Dark (Metallic) Hardcore / Sludge
GTTRS were a dark hardcore band from Antwerp, who managed to get quite some recognition in their short lived time as a band. They find a mix between dragging, heavy and dark riffs and a touch of melody, which is a pretty working combination. Anyway, they disbanded a while ago and they are all working on some new music. Some of them formed Caravan, their EP will be posted some time soon.
FLOOD03: The Homeless - In
Loving Memory Of What Could Have Been
Genre: Melodic Hardcore / Screamo / Emo
The Homeless, hailing from Hamme, play a very emotive kind of hardcore / screamo that'll hit you right in the guts with their powerful lyrics. To me they sound like a kind of old school More Than Life, but that's for you to decide. This is their first full length, and it's something a fan of honest and heartfelt music can't pass by. They're touring quite a bit in the near future so if you see their name on a poster somewhere near you, go out and take a look.
FLOOD04: Crows-An-Wra - s/t
Genre: Skramz Screamo
You all remember Crocus right ? And Ravachol ? Both were some damn kick ass bands from a few years ago, if you had no idea then go and check that out since they're pretty amazing. Anyway, what we have here is a best of both worlds thing, members of the previously mentioned bands came together to form Crows-An-Wra and some sweet music. The genre description says it all, it's 5 tracks of original and refreshing stuff.
FLOOD05: Midnight Souls -
Always
Genre: Melodic Hardcore
I certainly hope these guys don't need any introduction. They were one of the nicest and most passionate melodic hardcore bands that ever came out of Belgium. Here we have their last track ever recorded, and man, did they go out with a bang.
FLOOD06: Continents.- In
Streams Of Light Doth Linger
Genre: Screamo / Melodic Hardcore
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this band continues to blow my mind. This three track EP manages to be their best yet, and I found their demo EP to be flawless. They keep on killing it with sweet melodies that mange to be haunting at the same time, great lyricism (!) and just a strong and coherent overall vibe.
FLOOD07: The Cold Harbour -
Seasons
Genre : Emotive Hardcore
Everyone who has been on this blog or just listenend / showed interest in the melodic branch of hardcore in general should know about this band. Ever since their debut release they have been pretty much flawless. They're almost always on the road too so there really is not a single excuse you can give me as to why you don't know all about these dudes already. So, I mentioned them being pretty much flawless on their debut, well, on their latest release called "Season" they just are. Really, I can't give any complaints other than it's only four songs long and they had me wanting more.

Mountains to Move - What Ifs And Could Have Beens (2014)
Genre: Indie Punk / Emo / Pop Punk
Buy here
Download
First off, you need this. Whatever genre you're into, there is something on this four track banger for everyone. It opens with the beautiful yet haunthing "Curtains Closed", a song that'll grasp you from the first second and don't you even dare believe it'll let you go again. If this kind of slower, more dramatic approach isn't really your thing, the nex track will have you jumpin' on the damn couch. "Train Tracks" is a straight up, energy filled pop punk banger, but with the accent on punk since this one packs a pretty solid punch. It kind of reminds me of the older days when I first started liking pop punk, but that might just be me. They don't slow down further on, and keep the high energy going on "Season's Changing", yet they add bit more melody in this one and it all just adds up perfectly. And there also is this awesome build up that I can only imagine how it would sound live. Ender "Ghosts" reminds me a whole lot of Make Do And Mend on their End Measured Mile peak, and god did I love that album. As you can hear, I'm a fan. Give these dudes a listen and you can alwyas thank me later, you won't regret it.

Genre: Hardcore / Punk

Sorry for slacking for such a damn long time, but I have a whole lot of stuff going on in my life that need(ed) to be sorted out. Anyway, I noticed this little gem wasn't up here yet and sure deserves to be. White Fields have been pushing the limits of (melodic) hardcore ever since their amazing EP back in the day. From their splits over to their full lengths and this two song release, they never fail to amaze me with what they put out. Do yourself a favour and listen to this class act straight from germany.
