Radio Silence / A Selected Visual History of American Hardcore Music

The subject matter in Radio Silence might only reach into the early 1990s but the spirit of the book is celebrating hardcore. There’s no gravestone that says RIP Hardcore 1978-1986 or 1994 it’s something that continues to grow and blow our minds. We’ve been blessed to have some of the greatest bands, past and present, be a part of this process. Most recently in Toronto we had our most varied show stacked with bands of different styles and genres spanning hardcore’s history.

One band in recent years that stood out to me visually and sonically has been Lion of Judah. Their unique sound and visual presentation embodies what we wanted to capture in the pages of Radio Silence, a celebration of tradition told in a modern voice. Their sound has nods to the signature notey riffs that many Revolution Summer DC bands employed as well as the crunchy attack of classic NYHC mixed their personality and some interesting tempo changes.

We’re proud to team up with Lion of Judah and Youngblood Records to offer you a streaming version of their upcoming 7″ Number-rology which will be released September 15th.

Please visit the following links for info and support them on their current US tour. Some of their members have another incredible band called Give that you need to check out immediately, especially if you’re a fan of Swiz.
