Holokaust from Riverside

Formed In 1999 in Riverside Ca.
By (Me)Ruben Olivas,Jason Z & Randy Skott,out of sheer boredom, also no one was playing the type of music we liked,the established Riverside scene was nothing but Nofx & Lagwagon clones.
i was heavily inspired by the UK peace punk movement of the early 80s.Jason and Randy departed a few months later.they were replaced with Rawbert Samuel an...d Brian Machain this was the line up that recorded all our releases and preformed countless shows on the west coast and Nevada,Jimmy Alvarado from Resist And Exist briefly joined the band. in 2008 Rawbert and Brian left the band.they were replaced by Jason Hernandez and Reed Cunningham, both members were married with children and it was very difficult to do the band.in late 2010 Reed replaced with Daniel Gonzales and Ricky Chavez from Alternate System

Resist and Exist from Los Angeles

I am the abandoned spawn of invention, suckling at the breast of technology. In a corporate science fiction sumulacrum, my heritage has been evaporated into a mist I cannot grasp. I am crashing the winshield of reality into the abyss of existencial abandon and political delirium. I see in my video eyes, undocumented souls in a countdown for state execution. I, the reflection of what you want to see in me, the target of your premeditated violence, the model token, the educated alien, The victim of your forked tongue, crucifying demon stretching out my limbs to touch the edge of a world filled with underground racism and political hatred. My life has no redemption value for your bigotry. You filthify my existence by making me the axis for your woes. We, the raw genetic mutation of global assimilation, surviving the ideological chlorine of a brainwash. We, the catalist, the synthesizers, refusing to isolate our brains from our souls, our hearts, from our genitals, our dreams from the worlds. We resist fragmentation, deconstruction, alienation. We the burning montage of memories and dreams living in a cold shadows, shuffling along the crust of civilization. We have below zero identities, in an apocalyric countdown. We mutate, we change, we transform, breathe in and out. Resincarnating from womb to womb, shape by the forces of life, we blink between centuries, photocopying ourselves. Our presense is an illusion of our sense swimming against the collective stream of conciousness.

Media Blitz from Orange County

"Circle-pit friendly Orange County hardcore that brings back fond memories of dogpiles and sing-alongs circa 2001. A speed-picking guitar that rivals the WASTE and a delivery that comes off like Sweden's OUTLAST, with whom they share tasteful melodic undertones. Awesome posi lyrics about staying true to yourself and staying generally positive. The breakdowns are killer, the riffs are great; you will hear no complaints from me."

The Bitchfits from Hollywood

"Halloween night in the year 2077, a cemetery in the small town of Lodi, New Jersey experienced a strange radioactive meteor shower that would forever change the lives of four innocent little girls......... ^V^
As radiation penetrates the ground, the earth begins to glow green and tremble and shake. Caskets bursting out of the ground and bodies reanimated begin to fall in line, when out of their tombs rise the original members of the greatest horror punk band of all time, the Misfits!!!
That night the torch was past to those four most loyalist of fans, Gwenn Standzbig, Cherry Blowme, Goyle Von Wolfbang, and Robosie! They made a pact that night as that cemetery rose into the sky, with bodies and coffins falling to the earth crushing passers by, to move to Hollywood and carry on the legacy as the "World Famous Queens of Horror" now known as The BITCHFITS !!!

Resistant Culture from Los Angeles

Resistant Culture is the development of extreme and tribal music that has weaved the indigenous flute, rattle, tribal drum, and chant into an organic and flowing tapestry with contemporary punk and metal.

Resistant Culture's root structure extends deep from the tree of extreme music. In its original form going back to the late 1980s, the band was called Resistant Militia. It combined the arts of punk and metal to incite a new movement that fused dark heavy sounds with the politics of survival.
