Clan of Xymox is a goth band from the Netherlands that started around 1980. They still play today, but their older stuff is by far the best. They use heavy synth and some pretty cool basslines with gloomy singing. Clan of Xymox was one of the first bands to create the gloomy goth sound and they did it well. Standouts are "A Day" and "7th Time" This is goth at some of it's finest, and even if you think you hate goth, you should download this and let your eardrums be caressed by the lovely gloom that is Clan of Xymox.

Documentary: Oi Polloi - Global Dissent
Oi Polloi is one of the those bands that will remain forever awesome to me. They are huge advocates of animal right, alternative energy, and anti-fascism, among a lot of other politically charged topics and they fight for them as well. In this 1994 documentary, it more follows Oi Polloi's activism. The band is touched upon, but the documentary is primary what Oi Polloi does when they aren't playing. This is a really cool documentary and is worth watching if you have the time.

Dotfuckingcom - S/T
Dotfuckingcom is a noisy hardcore band from South Carolina that had their only release in '98. Dotfuckingcom features both Kevin and Lyz from Antischism, and you can definitely hear it. They are fast, noisy, and loud. The tracks flow smoothly with eachother and all in all, this is just good hardcore noise. The bass is high and scratchy, guitars are distorted and mesh well together and the vocals are loud and belted, with some melodic additions added on. Antischism is one of my favorite bands, and if you liked them, you'll like Dotfuckingcom. This album is dark, fast, and heavy. This may be their only release, but it is a damn good one. Standout tracks are "Hesitation" and "Olympia Wash-n-Dry".
