...ride or die...

Start the week off right with some crazy-intense-manic-jackhammer beats from my favorite headbanger, Knifehandchop (Toronto's own Billy Pollard). I may come across as a pretty mellow fella, but I secretly harbor a love for the hardcore punk that I slam-danced to back in those halcyon days of the late '80s. Fast-forward to the fully adult self that many of you see now... I still occasionally venture out alone to ear-bleeding sludgecore shows and frenetic scream-fests. Coupled along with this love is the 'hardcore techno' that Knifehandchop represents. After listening to a lot of also-rans in this genre, I definitely rank his mixture of hip-hop and (can I say this?) 'digital hardcore' as my favorite music to release any possible stress and energy left after a long day at work. I just use that drive home for a full-on seizure. Maybe you can to. (Think about what DMX felt like when he got arrested for that carjacking in the airport parking lot when you listen to track dos.)
