UK Punks TRC To Release “The Story So Far”

UK’s “cocky” hardcore-punks TRC will release their EP, The Story So Far, on October 23 via No Sleep Records.  The band has released a music video for their ruckus new track “Heartless”.  Fans are invited to pre-order the new EP now at nosleepstore.com/artist/trc.

Rapidly gaining ground in their home country and throughout Europe, TRC has shifted their sights to the U.S. where an underground following continues to spread through word of mouth.  The band’s provocative lyrics and confrontational music has generated a plethora of love/hate responses that have ignited a whirlwind of buzz around their upcoming U.S. release of The Story So Far.

Noisecreep.com caught up with TRC vocalist Chris Robson in July to talk about the upcoming release, current state of hardcore and getting cocky.  Stream their track “Cocky Is Back” and read the rest of the interview here: http://www.noisecreep.com/2012/07/17/trc-british-hardcore/

TRC back up their “cocky” attitude on their EP, The Story So Far, with a confident blend of street-influenced hardcore and underground UK hip hop that punishes as much as mesmerizes as also heard on their previously released track “#TEAMUK”, which is also featured on the seven track EP.

The Revolution Continues this fall as the band gears up for the U.S. release of The Story So Far. Visit https://www.facebook.com/trchardcore for news and information about the new EP and upcoming U.S. touring plans.

Rock My Monkey Cage Match: Round 4

 

So here we are at the fourth week of the Rock My Monkey Cage Match. Yet again we will pit several bands against each other.

As always, if any bands want to volunteer to enter the ring, please stand up and let us know! Bands that volunteer will get picked for the battle before any band we at Rock My Monkey pick. So if your band is as bad ass as you think they are, prove it! Think your band is good? Wanna fight about it? If there are not enough bands that stand up to the challenge, I will fill in the empty slots with my own picks. The song MUST be a free listen with zero restrictions. This can mean a straight up MP3 download, a YouTube link, a ReverbNation stream, or any other method that does not require the person trying to vote to do anything but listen. No iTunes/Amazon links, No 'email for a song' crap, and no we will not host it for you. Upload it to YouTube, ReverbNation, or your own website. So take a listen and vote for the song you think is best. You may vote as often as you want.

Can either of these bands unseat our reigning champions Haunting the Disconnect?
