Jason Jackowiak of tripwire.com has been exploring some hardcore releases from Austin. It looks like he likes what he's found. He reviewed Mammoth Grinder, Branch Davidian, and Total Abuse.

Dropdead will be playing at Red 7 on Thursday Feb 12th. They are also playing a show in Houston at a Junkyard. If you like really fast pissed off music then don't miss this it will be an awesome show.

Heres some cool stuff that is approved by Depleted Resource. First of all check this site out, Too Many Weapons , there are some great photos from a bunch of different live shows that have been going on in Austin.
