NEGATIVE BLAST "Destroy Myself For Fun!" LP OUT NOW
Negative Blast - Destroy Myself for Fun LP
Negative Blast is promoting their upcoming LP, Destroy Myself for Fun, to be released via Three One G Records and Vitriol Records on November 14th.
“Once in a while, a punk record comes along, that is of the times, but outside of it, too. The debut album from San Diego’s Negative Blast, is one vicious ripper of a album, that draws influence from a wide range of influences, such as noise rock, classic punk, and even garage rock.”
– New Noise Magazine
"’Pulverizing punk ripper’ is indeed a very good way of describing…”
– BrooklynVegan
“It’s a clinic in high-energy, hardcore punk rage while dripping in manic, aggressive, anxiety-ridden rock and roll vibrancy.”
– The Sleeping Shaman
Negative Blast formed in San Diego during the depths of the pandemic when longtime buds Rainier Pesebre (vocals) and Alexander Jacobelli (guitar) began trading riffs and ideas in isolation. Jacobelli and bassist Patrick Callaway were touring buddies in their respective bands Lewd Acts and Hour of the Wolf during the early 2000s hardcore punk renaissance. Within two weeks of Rain and Alex jamming ideas, Pat relocated from Chicago to San Diego, cementing the songwriting core of the band.
Jacobelli, who operates Sunsick Studio in La Mesa, engineered and mixed the band’s early recordings, allowing Negative Blast to develop and release material quickly. Their first EP, The First Four Months, was followed by DEMO 002. Initial shows featured Sam Rich (Del Vipers, Riverboat Gamblers) on drums before the group began work on their first LP, Echo Planet, released through Quiet Panic Records.
Midway through the record, Callaway reached out to Mario Rubalcaba (Earthless, Hot Snakes, Rocket From the Crypt), who joined on drums. With Rubalcaba, the band released a split with LA hardcore act SWEAT via Vitriol Records.
In 2025, drummer Hunter Martinez (Decent Criminal, Human Issue) stepped in as a permanent member. His energy is captured on the band’s 2025 full-length, Destroy Myself For Fun. Negative Blast’s live résumé includes sharing stages with Botch, Unsane, Deaf Club, The Bled, Finch, Darkest Hour, Swing Kids, Clikatat Ikatowi, Lower Class Brats, The Bronx, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Loma Prieta, City of Caterpillar, High Vis, and 7 Seconds, among others.
Destroy Myself for Fun will be released on limited edition vinyl via Three One G and Vitriol on November 14th. Preorder, here.

Sweat in Oakland July 11, 2025
New repress of Red Don's "The Dead Hand of Tradition"
This is the US repress of this 2015 banger from Portland's Red Dons. “The Dead Hand of Tradition” features ten new tracks of their signature dark, driving, melodic punk rock sound. The formula of their distinctive songwriting hasn’t changed, but has matured as a result of having five more nomadic years under their belts between previous releases. These new experiences have only added to the themes of alienation, emigration, and loss present in their music. They recorded and released a slew of singles on labels like Grave Mistake, Deranged, Taken By Surprise, Nada Nada Discos and Dirtnap (including a collaboration with TV Smith of UK punk legends The Adverts).
This is pressed on a metallic ink gatefold, featuring a thicker printed innersleeve and two vinyl variants (metallic gold and opaque red). Split pressing of 250/250. Classic, sick, good song writing and execution by a band who has never stopped and keeps kicking globally.
Label Updates, Annapura "V" and more
Happy international May Day to all the motherfuckers out there holding it down against the incoming waves of rampant fascism and tides of genocidal policy.
What is up internet psychos abroad. Since last updates, the Grudgepacker 7” came out, Sweat went to Japan on Spring break 2025, Generacion Suicida went on a west coast jaunt in Feb with the Spits and March with Cloud Nothings, and SWeat are recording a new record in July.
Annapura “V” LP comes out tomorrow May 2! This is a sick split release between myself and Ethospine Noise, the brothers who are 66% of the famed Riverside trio of Moxiebeat. Annapura are friends from Mexico City who have always been the most legit. This LP rips and comes in two different color variants of volcanic red or black ice. The cover is thicker than normal with a printed innersleeve and red foil. Check it out asap.
Otherwise got a lot more shit on the horizon including:
- the repress of the sick Red Dons LP “Dead Hand of Tradition”
-Sport “Colors” repress
-Sport new LP “IN Waves”
-Sweat LP
-the new Negative Blast LP.
