AJAX - AJAX
NYC's finest follow up their demo and 7" on Katorga Works, along with
their appearance on the HARDCORE: GIMME SOME MORE compilation, with
what could very well be their best material to date! The four tracks on
this new recording continue to exhibit the band's perfected blend of
USHC combined with the best of Sweden with harsh vocals barked over
TOTALITAR influenced riffing. Saying that this release is essential
would be an understatement. Each record comes in a full color glue

BLOOD PRESSURE - BLOOD PRESSURE
Here's the first EP
from Pittsburgh's BLOOD PRESSURE, yet another great band that the Iron
City has yielded as of late. A few of these songs were available on a

entire 6 song session in all of its glory. Consisting of members that
have served time in the likes of DIRECT CONTROL, BRAIN HANDLE, EEL, and
NO TIME, expect ripping hardcore with a certain demented vibe that an
area like Pittsburgh tends to bring out in folks. Each record comes in
a felt based pocket sleeve and is limited to 500 copies.

Braddock's CONCEALED
BLADE caught many off guard when their Earth shattering demo became
available in early 2015 and now Beach Impediment is proud to bring it
to the masses on the 7" format. Featuring members of BLOOD PRESSURE,
HOUNDS OF HATE, and NO TIME, this recording is a relentless one full of
the kind of riffs and vocals that bring late 80's NYHC to mind while
retaining a modern yet tasteful vibe all its own. For fans of hardcore
and just simply "not for the fucking weak," as they say.

blasts of the blown out noise infused hardcore punk pounders that
they've made themselves known for with their past few recordings. This
particular slab features three original rippers followed by a DISORDER
cover to close it all out. Each record comes in a full color glue

FETISH - TAKE THE KNIFE
While one should
hesitate to use the term "super group," it would be kinda hard to not
consider utilizing some kind of label in that vein in regards to
Portland, Oregon's FETISH. For starters if we're gonna talk about genre
altering personnel within the ranks of this group, you'd have to note
that this recording showcases the first time that Thee Slayer Hippy and
Vegetable have come together to create ugly hardcore punk music since
their stint together in the "War All The Time" era of the legendary
Kings of Punk POISON IDEA three decades ago. It also doesn't hurt that
3/4 of PDX punk heroes LONG KNIFE (Colin Jarrell, Scott Goto, and Chris
Reid respectively) are in the mix as well along with later era PI
guitarist Brandon Bentley. Their debut track "TAKE THE KNIFE" showcases
the sheer power of this group and is just a sign of what is to come
with the band's full length record that will hopefully see the light of
day later this year. On the flip side, a stirring rendition of LOVE's
classic track "A House Is Not A Motel" closes this one out leaving us
hungry for more. Each record comes in a glue pocket sleeve featuring
cover art by the talented Joe B.

Beach Impediment is

earlier in the year by a cadre of chaps who'd previously served time in
DIRECT CONTROL, WASTED TIME, and a slew of other acts; the prime
directive hasn't changed much for the folks in question. There is still
a strong desire to produce and execute punishing hardcore punk, the
results of which are captured on this 6 song EP. This is harsh and ugly

MERCY KILLINGS - SNUFFED OUT
A year after
recording what would be the self titled EP, the lads of MERCY KILLINGS
returned to the great state of North Carolina to lay down yet another
sonic assault of hardcore punk. The resulting material proved to be
even more vicious than the band's initial effort, yielding five songs
of the savage USHC that certain members have been known for producing
for over a decade now with select nods here and there to other spots on
the globe that have been known to influence good punk as opposed to
shit punk. These guys are, thankfully, too purist and/or out of touch
to even consider flirting with any of the cringe inducing trends and
fashions that have plagued the genre as a whole in recent memory.
Therefore, fans of well executed hardcore punk can rest assured that
they will receive just that upon obtaining this slab. Each record comes
in a glue pocket sleeve adorned with stunning water color and ink based
art by the illustrious Jaybo.

OBLITERATION - WAR IS OUR DESTINY
Almost lost to the
sands of time, but resurrected for a limited time by Beach Impediment
Label, here's the final EP from Obliteration. More of the Americanized
Scandi-core from their last 2 EP's: glass-in-throat vocals, driving
manic drums, abusive tasteless guitar solos, and the title track is a
dumbed down version of the St. Vitus classic. No over-cooked crasher
crust, just balls to the wall hardcore punk. Limited one time pressing
of 600 copies.

PUBLIC ACID - CONDEMNATION EP
Woo-wee! Public
Acid, folks - the undisputed pride of North Carolina! Or is it Virginia
now? A bit of both perhaps?! Ah hell, is acknowledging geographic
location really even relevant when it comes to top shelf hardcore punk?
The dead fucks that made those borders and boundaries wouldn't know
shit about riffs anyway. In the couple years since their self released
12" came into being, the band has gigged all over the country (back
when that was an option) and expanded their catalog further via a flexi
and some cassettes, garnering much deserved attention and adoration
from those fortunate enough to be enlightened with those scenarios
and/or physical formats. But that was the old world and what matters
here and now is that the "CONDEMNATION" EP is 6 urgent blasts of punk
music that result in a sonic whirlwind that few others have previously
concocted. In a genre that has become dominated by embarrassing
posturing, this slab is a much welcomed breath of fresh air in an age
of suffocating and uncertainty. Recorded and mastered at Artifact Audio
in NYC by Sasha Stroud just before the shit hit the fan, each record
comes in a folded sleeve both designed and screen printed by Public
Acid and collaborator/comrade Thomas Sara. 4th pressing limited to 200
copies.

STIGMATISM - STIGMATISM
Ya know that Big
City Records compilation "Montreal New York Connection 85 Live" with
all the wild looking cartoon punks on it? STIGMATISM is the sonic
equivalent of that big fella on the cover with the mohawk rocking boots
and braces whilst letting off and undoubtedly blood curdling howl doing
key bumps of meth with that flag toting skinhead from the back of the
"United Blood" EP in a real seedy alleyway at like, 3:41 AM on a
Tuesday. STIGMATISM is an infatuation with and/or an astute observation
of the more, dare I say, "early man" aspects of that first wave of
NYHC. Featuring an ex OMEGA and a native New Yorker united in their
love of this particular style of hardcore punk, this demo recording has
been slapped onto some slabs of plastic that can be played loud on a
phonograph or utilized as a level plane for those aforementioned
servings of meth. Each record comes in a glue pocket sleeve adorned

VANITY - RARELY IF EVER
The second of two
brand new singles that one of NYC's greatest will be gracing us with
during this balmy winter and their first recorded output since the
release of their highly praised "Evening Reception" full length, the
Beach Impediment Label is honored to be an even minuscule component in
releasing yet another slab for the almighty VANITY. With a track record
of releases that spans the past 7 years, the style and approach of the
group has (much to the dismay of some yet absolute delight of others)
arguably seen it's fair share of metamorphosis over the course of this
particular project's run. Yet amidst the sonic evolution exhibited by
VANITY as their catalog has progressed, the expertise in conceiving an
ever so catchy ditty still holds true as is evident with the A-Side
"Rarely if Ever" - a track that is guaranteed to remain embedded in
one's head for quite some time. "We're Friends" closes it all out on a
triumphant and decidedly rocking note, bebe, leaving those who've been
on this journey thus far yearning for what comes next. Limited to a one
time pressing of 500 copies.
