A few weeks ago, the Bay Area bands Gulch and Sunami, two of the best and nastiest hardcore bands currently working, came out with a wild, ferocious four-song split. Now a couple of bands from the Northeast have come out blasting with a split of their own. Considering how much work goes into recording a split 7″, there is frankly no way that the two splits have anything to do with each other, but the timing makes it feel like the knuckleheads of the greater New York area are saying that they will not be left behind.
