Can’t Swim’s new EP Foreign Language is one of the best hardcore releases I’ve heard in some time. Which is weird, because I’m pretty sure they’re a pop punk band. Foreign Language’s lead single “Filthy Rich” starts out about as hardcore as it gets: a quick drum fill drops into…
It’s been a while, but we’re back, so welcome to another edition of Connecting the Dots, and today we will be focusing on mathcore masterminds The Dillinger Escape Plan! Whilst they’re soon going to be shutting up shop (R.I.P), we can remain eternally grateful to the incredible records they’ve released during their two-decade career, their vicious live performances, and the incredible other musical projects they leave in their wake. Without further ado, let’s dive into the amazing projects these musicians have been a part of.
Between the widely-circulated picture of the infamous fan of Trash Talk, and now the new video from punk-sludge outfit King Parrot, members of the Australian hardcore scene really seem to have a thing for urine entering one’s mouth. There are four separate instances of it happening in this video alone.…
Spoiler alert: it’s weird. Trash Talk are a band known for their take-no-prisoner attitude. The hardcore trio are used to unleashing chaos in all of their shows, whether in organized venues or simply retrofitted, industrial spaces.

We have a YouTube channel, did you know that? Well, you should get acquainted with it real quick because we have some plans for the future. Meanwhile, we have a very dedicated team of photographers out in the field, bringing you all those tasty shows you couldn’t attend. We’ve seen Ulcerate blast…

The Dillinger Escape Plan are one of the most destructive forces in live music, hands down. Largely unpredictable sets could see you and about a hundred others up on stage and/or various band members jumping off of large objects or climbing up to the ceiling. Joining them on their latest…
We already know full and well that The Dillinger Escape Plan’s upcoming tour with Trash Talk, Retox, and Shining is going to be an insanely destructive force. The dates are painfully short, but fortunately once that leg of Dillinger’s headlining tour comes to a close, they’re continuing onward with another…
If this isn’t the most destructive tour you’ll see this year, I don’t even want to think about what might one-up it: The Dillinger Escape Plan are embarking on a North American headlining trek with support from Trash Talk, Retox, and one of our favorite avant garde artists SHINING! It’s…
Hardcore punk act Trash Talk turned quite a few heads last year when it was announced that they had signed to Odd Future Records, home of Tyler The Creator other hip-hop artists. This deal showed an otherwise understated connection between punk and hip-hop. For instance, an Odd Future show could…
