Combust, Blow Minds, and Imposters Team Up for Split UN


Hardcore music proves to be a truly universal language, and a new three-way split has brought together incredible practitioners hailing from three distinct continents. This fresh release, titled United Nations EP, showcases a fascinating convergence of styles and perspectives.

The EP features a dynamic mix of tracks drawn from established names: three songs from New York’s Combust, two from Tokyo’s Blow Your Brains Out, and two from Brighton’s Imposter. This collaboration creates a unique sonic tapestry, demonstrating how the core energy of hardcore can translate across vast geographical divides.

What makes this project particularly compelling is how each group approaches the foundational blueprint of New York hardcore that defined the late 1980s and early 1990s. While they share a common lineage, the way Combust, Blow Your Brains Out, and Imposter handle the form reveals wonderfully diverse creative pathways.

It is genuinely cool to listen and observe the differences in how these global acts tackle the established structure of hardcore. The resulting EP is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a powerful testament to the enduring, global spirit of the genre.
