Hardcore punk from Philadelphia, PA, the Brood was formed on a sweltering day in the summer of 2011 by four maladjusted humans who love playing loud angry music in dilapidated locales -  because that is what punks do. Previous releases include the If Tomorrow Comes demo, Defective 7", and October Dreams tape.  In 2018, a local ripper joined their ranks on second guitar, bolstering their sound as a burly five-piece juggernaut. For the Dark is their debut full length, recorded in the beginning of 2023 at Permanent Hearing Damage. This album reflects their fully honed attack, sharpened over the years in the practice space and on stage. These 12 songs combine blazing speed with pummeling mid-paced ragers, lyrics that drip with bitter fury, and an atmosphere of creeping dread. Influences include UK82, Poison Idea, Die Kreuzen, The Stalin, and Totalitar. Members of former/current bands: Lost Cause, Witch Hunt, Endless Nightmare, Caustic Christ, Mischief Brew, The Pist and The Dissidents.

For fans of: Poison Idea, Nausea, Christ On Parade, Discharge

"Forgive my age for a second or two while I feel myself transcended to ‘Power of Expression‘ era BLAST. On their latest offering Philly’s The Brood have recorded an eight song banger that remind me more of a classic BLAST, Necros, Christ on Parade album than any stop gate cassette release. Bold, frenetic and essential. I would love nothing more than to hear more from The Brood and ultimately, see this pressed on a heavy slab of vinyl. Essential and absolutely necessary." - Document Fanzine

"Holy crap! Philadelphia, Pa.’s The Brood again deliver the goods on this seven-song cassette. If you were fortunate enough to snag a copy of 2014’s Defective 7”, you won’t be disappointed with this. For those not as lucky, this baby is chock-full of Japanese and Scandinavian d-beat-influenced ragers that had my lips snarled and fist pumping in no time. If I had to draw comparisons, I’d probably mention World Burns To Death or maybe F-Minus. This release is pretty limited and the band doesn’t seem to be doing any coast-to coast tours any time soon, so I recommend you contact the band directly to get your paws on this puppy." - Garrett Barnwel / Razorcake
