Interview with Mariel Loveland from CANDY HEARTS; First artist on Violently Happy Records@candyheartsband @xchadballx
NY/NJ quartet Candy Hearts had quite an exciting 2012 for themselves! In addition to being tapped as an opener for New Found Glory on their 10th year anniversary tour for ‘Sticks and Stones,’ the group also has the honor of being the first act signed to Violently Happy Records, founded by none other than NFG’s Chad Gilbert himself. I’d chalk that up to good fortune!
Review of CONTINENTS’ IDLE HANDS LP; Out TODAY (like right now) on Victory Records! @victoryrecords @wearecontinents
Here’s another one by resident reviewer/percussive snot pounder, Lord Covey. IDLE HANDS drops TODAY 1/22/13 and will be wherever you find the rest of our Victory Records favorites… Go cop it, take a listen, and judge for yourself! Who listens to drummers, anyway? 🙂
Continents – Idle Hands (Victory Records)
On their Victory Records debut, UK’s Continents takes territory popularized by Botch, Meshuggah and Misery Signals, and moves it a touch more towards Hatebreed. Their sound ends up almost directly between flagship bands like The Ghost Inside and After The Read More…

Review of FALL CITY FALL’s Victus album; Dropping 1/22/13 on Victory Records
Here’s one from Lord Covey before he hit the road with Shai Hulud. VICTUS is dropping on 1/22 via Victory Records, so cop it when it hits, or go pre-order it NOW for special deals and packages. Kudos, Calgary!
Fall City Fall – Victus (Victory Records)
The first full-length album from Calgary-based Fall City Fall, Victus, is billed by Victory Records as a truly boundary-pushing hardcore record. So, I was a bit skeptical when the record opens with a kinda standard-issue slowmotional hardcore intro song. But by the time the second tune, “Dissentipede,” gets going, it’s clear there is a bigger plan at work in FCF’s writing. In the first couple minutes, they slickly pull off a plot that feels distinctly like the layered reveal of a “monster next door” villain in a murder mystery…and you’ve realized just a little too late.
