Myspace

Genre: Hardcore
FFO: The Suicide File, American Nightmare

Remains was a short lived CT hardcore band featuring members of Hostage Calm, Jettison and Don't Say I Won't. They released this demo and played one show before they called it quits. It's a shame, because this demo is really good.

Heavy Breath - Synthemesc Dreams

Myspace

Genre: Hardcore/Punk
FFO: Refused, Rage Against the Machine, 108, Black Flag

This is one of my favorite current CT bands. They just released the Synthemesc Dreams EP, and played their first show not too long ago. The EP is very riff heavy and extremely groovy. If you like refused or 108, you'll probably enjoy this band.
