MOSKWA was formed in 1983 in Lodz, central Poland, and was one of those bands that along with DEZERTER and a few others shaped the minds of young punks in communist Poland. Their demo tape “Nigdy!” released in 1986, that made a huge impact on the minds of the young of that generation, was...
WALL BREAKER are a fairly new straight edge hardcore band from New Jersey, US and this is their first 12” vinyl release out on Refuse Records from Berlin and second release after the self-titled demo/7”EP. The band consists of members from various US hardcore acts, some of them perhaps known to die hard hardcore...
Top 5, 7 or 10? So I was kindly asked by SANCTUS PROPAGANDA if I would provide either a top 5 or 10 favourite albums of 2018. I thought, I’d go somewhere in the middle and do 7! Although the following isn’t inclusive to what I have been listening and enjoying of late and indeed,...
Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, LIFELESS DARK consists of members from NO TOLERANCE, GREEN BERET and more including MAGIC CIRCLE and DEATH EVOCATION. The Bandcamp release of this 3-song demo caused a stir among punk and metal tribes across the world. And no wonder. They do what hasn’t been done for quite some time. They...

What has happened to those great compilation vinyl records that offer you a great selection of the bands you hear first time and some of them become your future favourites? Well, I dunno, but this Karate Klub Compilation proves my point, those records are essential part of the scene. The Karate Klub came to...
Described by many as the best hardcore band these days to come out of New York City, WARTHOG released their 4th EP on 26th October 2018 on Toxic State Records in US and Static Shock Records in Europe. Another self titled EP distinguishes itself from the previous one released two years ago by colourful...
Allright, so some time has passed since the release of this record and I remained silent about it. Primarily because I wanted to have the physical copy of the album and then write a proper review, rather than listen to the full album on youtube, which ANTISECT made public in full the very first day...
The latest recording by MEINHOF is finally out. Recorded in 2017 this sees the light on 45rpm 12” and CD. I always thought MEINHOF managed to produce their own, unique sound and style. It is punk, but it is MEINHOF punk. Not many bands have this style of writing songs and singing which is...
OK, so I’ve saved myself from a monumental fuck up concerning this band and the review. I received this LP a few weeks ago from NIKT NIC NIE WIE and was instantly surprised I knew nothing about a band from Poland, called SMIERC. So I gave it a spin and found out I hear...
