WTF Records Bands
Moment Of Truth
Moment of Truth is definitive 90’s hardcore. Founded in 1991, they helped mold the western NY scene with a true NYHC sound. Releasing several demos throughout the 90’s, they built up quite a reputation and opened for some real heavy-hitters from that era: Agnostic Front, Biohazard, Face Value, and Integrity to name a few. After a long hiatus, the founding members decided to get back to the basics and write some raw, face-breaking, NY-style hardcore again. ‘No Blind Eyes’ is a bit of old,a bit of new, but all of it pure rage!
Features Erik Burke (Nuclear Assault/Sulaco) on guitar and guest vocals by Sal Lococo (Sworn Enemy)
For fans of: Agnostic Front, Madball, Terror, Integrity, Sheer Terror, Breakdown, Judge, 100 Demons, Blood for Blood.
Rise Above
RISE ABOVE from the Netherlands is back to gently smash some metal fused hardcore in your face with their second EP on WTF Records ‘FOREVER’.
After the tragic passing of their friend and drummer Pierre (oct 2019 RIP) Rise Above decided that quitting was not an option. This release is dedicated to Pierre and his family and friends.
It is also Rise Above’s way to celebrate life and the drive to keep going. Jorrit took place behind the drumkit and together they created a fast and furious rollercoaster ride of emotions, disguised as riffs basslines, drums and melodies.
Looking back with respect & picking up the glove for the next round, here is Rise Above!

Rotterdam Ska-Jazz Foundation (RSJF)
Armed with drums, bass, guitar, piano, organs, and a wide range of horns, the Rotterdam Ska-Jazz Foundation (RSJF) takes the music of the sixties as a starting point. But be careful! The RSJF is NOT a retro band in any perspective. They start where others have left and persistently refined their mix of ska, jazz, rock-steady, reggae and soul over the past 13 years.
In the meantime, the RSJF has recorded two EP’s and three fulllength studio albums. Furthermore, their music appears on various samplers throughout the world.
However, the best way to experience this lubricated off-beat locomotive is live on stage.
Rocking ska-jazz with a rough edge!
