What does local band Jail sound like? Well, let them tell you, and they’re not happy about it:

“We tend to let other people tell us what we sound like rather than create a framework that would give our sound away off the bat. It's a shame when you look at a flier and you can predict every style of each band by logo/artwork. We pull from a lot of heavy influences. We can be too punk for metalheads and too metal for hardcore kids. We thrive on crusty crossover.”

As for City Pleasure, you’ll have to just see for yourself, they don’t do interviews.

“FRACTURED, a trio from Montreal, brings five tracks displaying a D-beat/UK82-infused sound heavily influenced by crusty hardcore punk. Good riffing fast guitars and thrashy ’80s metal female vocals mixed with classic hardcore punk drum cadences, reminding me in some songs of Canibalina’s screams in her band ABYECTA.” -maximumrockandroll

All the way from Germany is the powerful Terminal Filth:

“The underground music scene has seen a remarkable resurgence of dark and heavy genres in the 2020s. The original crust punk sound, sometimes referred to as stenchcore, pioneered by influential bands such as Antisect, Axegrinder, and Amebix in the 1980s, has also experienced a global revival with new bands emerging around the world. While many of these bands remain true to the genre’s roots in both sound and aesthetic, without the need of reinventing the wheel or adding new elements, there is a clear emphasis on delivering quality over quantity in their work.

Among the bands embracing the classic stenchcore sound and distinctive artwork, Berlin-based Terminal Filth caught my attention. Taking their name from stenchcore godfathers Deviated Instinct, this German band is a pandemic-born project that has come to tug at my crusty heartstrings with their aptly titled The Plague Sessions EP. Featuring four powerful tracks infused with filthy metallic riffs, a thunderous rhythm section, and gravel-gargling vocals driven by darkness and despair… Each track is a dense onslaught of metallic passages, brimming with relentless thrills and noise terror. Terminal Filth draw influence from bands like Extinction of Mankind and compatriots Instinct of Survival, striking a chord that resonates with both crust punk loyalists and seasoned battle-vested metalheads.” -diyconspiracy
