San Francisco hardcore is alive and loud. Foghorn just dropped their new 5-song EP “Hood Famous” today, and if the Bay Area scene is your thing, this one belongs on your radar.
The EP features the single “Fog of War,” which was first released and what the band is calling their Bay Area anthem “Fogless Nightmare.” Five songs, all killer, no filler, the way hardcore EPs are supposed to be.
This is a rage releaser of an EP. Foghorn’s music puts you straight into that mosh mentality, the kind where you unleash whatever you’ve been carrying and let it all loose. It amps you up and hypes you up in all the best ways.

The physical release is for the collectors and the pit regulars, limited to 300 7-inch records and 100 CDs, available on their fall tour. That tour runs through November, kicking off November 6 in Bakersfield and wrapping November 20 in Oakland, so Bay Area folks get their shot at the end of the run.
The lineup holding it down: Kenneth Turner on vocals, Gustavo Villarroel and Charlie Sterba on guitars, Michael Bernardin on bass, and Matthew Scorca on drums. Turner wrote and recorded the music, and longtime Bay Area heads will know his name from Beg For Death and Fentanyl. Charles Toshio engineered it, Jon Mayo did the artwork (a neon-drenched 21st Street SF street scene that looks as loud as the record sounds), and Jeffrey Wang shot the band photo.
So do yourself a favor: go pick up the EP, and grab your tickets for the tour while you’re at it. That’s how you get your hands on one of those 300 7-inches or 100 CDs, and you’ll want the hard copy of this one.
