Yet another TOP 10 of the passing year, this time (like last year) from Ian Glasper, bassist for WARWOUND (whose 2nd LP is out soon, in the beginning of 2020) and author of books on punk, hardcore and thrash. His latest book, “Contract In Blood: A History Of UK Thrash Metal” is still available from...
Oi! Here’s the first 2019 TOP 10 for you. If you haven’t heard SURYA’s newest LP (reviewed here), it’s high time you made up for it. It’s a smashing record this, and quoted in many TOP 10s I gather. So, for a change, we asked Raquel, the drummer of SURYA, to come up with here...
End of the year makes for trips down the memory lane for me, no doubt about that. I recently cleared the mess with my records, arranged them nicely on a shelf and started digging. Some jewels fell into hands, one record led to the other and memories returned. Almost all DIY punk records of the...
Hope you remember TOXIC EPHEX from Aberdeen Scotland, and their marvellous and only full-length record “The Adventures Of Nobby Porthole The Cock Of The North”. Apart from the LP they also released a split LP with Oi Polloi “Mad As Fuck” and three 7″ EPs: “Punk As Fuck”, split with Shrapnel “Acts of Desperation” and...
Another fresh release from Poland, this time it’s KMKZ who changed their name from KAMIKAZE. They must have had a reason for that, but if you ask me, KAMIKAZE sounds just punk, haha. They started a few years ago and released their first album in 2016. “Opor” is their new creation on Pasazer Records...
THE DEAD GOATS have had phases in their history. A three piece band that did most of the releases, a two-piece band that was a studio only band and rumours say it’s a larger piece now. Time will show how that will work out for them. This EP comes from the two-piece band era...
Back to reviewing. Three new Polish records on the table today, let’s start with OHYDA. Formed around 2015 in Lublin, the band has released their second full length LP on La Vida Es Un Mus Records. They’ve already established themselves as a psycho industrial trans punk on their debut LP and continue to do...
Having played for just a few years back in the 90’s, DISAFFECT were super active and released 3 EPs, 2 LPs, not to mention the discography compilations, and toured Europe quite extensively. Through their activities and lyrics they have definitely left a mark on punks all over the world. 28 years since their first gigs...
We have 14 copies of HELLKRUSHER – Wasteland Unreleased LP left and then the whole pressing will be sold out. If you still haven’t secured your copy, this is your last chance to do so. This is the first recording of HELLKRISHER which was scrapped for not being up to standard back in the day....
