Slewfoot releases debut EP



Baytown Hardcore outfit Slewfoot didn’t DROP their first EP on January 26 - they planted their feet, wound up, and hurled it recklessly into the world.

With a run time of just over 8 and a half minutes, the Misconduct EP is a fury-filled and meticulously executed first offering. Giving the listener no time to catch their breath, Slewfoot have created an honest and inspiring collection of songs that proudly represent the hardcore scene.

The band was kind enough to include an instrumental “Intro” that is less of a greeting and more of a warning. This band is not here to knock on your door, they are here to tear your door off its hinges and crowd-surf it down Dunlop.

Slewfoot has set the bar high for hardcore in 2024.

“We have one shot to make it right. One shot to take action.” - Wasted Time, Misconduct EP

Legacy is a family business - Robb Reiner of Anvil and Tyler Reiner of Spades GT

Originally posted on Barrietoday.com as part of the Scene Setter series (#56 - Oct 14, 2023).  Legacy. It’s something that most people don’t realize they’ve created until they look back on whatever they built, even unknowingly, and it still stands. Legacy is in the work a person creates, a belief they stood and fought for, and in their families.  In the case of Robb Reiner, he has forged a legacy all three ways and his son Tyler is hammering out his own.  As the drummer for Anvil, the iconic Canadian metal band that pioneered the genre in our country, Robb Reiner has been a vanguard of metal. When Anvil began in 1977, they were striding into unknown territory, not knowing that the abuse and alienation they suffered as a band would pave the way for countless artists.  Walking that path in his own way is Robb’s son, Tyler. Also an accomplished drummer, his band Spades GT experiment with nuances within the heavy-side of music and have crafted a debut album with all the qualities that shou

The house band of the End Times - Spades GT Live @ The Queens (Nov 9, 2023)

The expectation of a band to sound as good, if not better, live than recorded is a bastard of a battle. Demolishing that expectation and standing proudly in the debris is Spades GT.  Preceding the legendary headlining band Anvil, Spades GT not only held their own, but made a bold proclamation that they are headliner material.  Their aptly named debut Sewer City Radio is the perfect fit for this thrash/hardcore outfit that creates a soundtrack for the bad times. The structure and sonic assault of Spades GT would make them the perfect band at a house party at the end of the street at the end of the world.  To label them as a mixture of thrash and hardcore is a disservice (my bad), as they represent an authentic convergence of style, influence, tone, and delivery. They are an enigma as their sound is heavy, but uplifting. The lyrical content is harsh, but delivered with enough Woah-Ohs, Yeahs, and Bleghs to satisfy anyone.  Spades GT is the band on the Titanic but play with the attitude o

Diving into the darker side - John Saffrey & Stewart Drake of Playfight

Like a pulse, music changes its beat based on what is being faced head-on in the moment in a uniquely visceral and genuine way. Music created in earnest, from a place of honesty, rings true in the ears of listeners who share a song’s feeling but perhaps aren’t able to vocalize it. But as everyone knows, change can be difficult and some feelings are even more difficult to describe.  A band that is using their gifts and skills of creating music who are embracing that change, following their pulses, and navigating into darker waters is Playfight. Playfight started as a collaboration between John Saffrey (guitarist, writer, producer) and Stewart Drake (vocalist, lyricist, graphic designer) who met through an online pop punk group and quickly began sharing ideas remotely during the pandemic. The band emerged in 2021 with catchy lyrics, riff-heavy arrangements, and upbeat songs that harkened back to
