Lord Dying, Bi-Marks, I Need Lunch (Dead Boys Tribute), Long Knife, DJ Chris Crusher

[PUNK ROCK] Something tells me the gents in Bi-Marks would bristle at the suggestion they came anywhere close to attaining anything so conventionally desirable as perfection, but oh well: Bi-Marks’ 2012 debut LP, The Golden Years, is pretty much punk’s platonic ideal. Although the album is essentially a compendium of ’80s hardcore highlights, this Portland quintet is possessed of a fury that would spin way out of control without genre constraints. And so Bi-Marks grudgingly abide the strictures while flailing against their chains, birthing a pristine version of fast and pissed punk in the process.
