Perth Express
Dark, heavy and slightly d-beat influenced hardcore from Germany. Think of bands as His Hero is Gone or Botch add some dirty rock and you'll get Perth Express.
"Fans of HHIG should and will be salivating over this band. Though not as heavily rooted in crust/d-beat as HHIG, Perth Express executes an intense formula of hardcore with heavy doses of blasts and metallic riffing with ease. The band also resembles what might occur if later, less mosh centered Integrity (or current Rise and Fall material) was merged with a solid crust punk influence. Either way, Perth Express is a refreshing band in a genre often stuck in stale routines."

Fluid
Three guys that sound like eight. Heavy sludgy noiserock with a good dose of mathy rhythms and clever songwriting. Somewhere between Converge, Buzzov'en and the Melvins.
