(review) V/A – Karate Klub Dublin HC/Punk Compilation
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 existence in Dublin, during a...

(review) ANTISECT – The Rising Of The Lights LP
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 of the release. I didn’t...
(review) MEINHOF – The Dying Light
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 a nice combination of thrashy...
(review) SMIERC – Godzina Pusta LP
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 too many references to so...
(review) FLUX – demo 2018
FLUX are a fairly new band from Wroclaw, Poland sharing members with the well known INFEKCJA. They have just started, played a few gigs and recorded this 8 minute demo tape. It’s pretty raw in production (recorded at the legendary CRK), pogo punk with disorder style guitars, psychotic vocals and the overall 80’s style of punk. There is lots of...
(review) WAR//PLAGUE – Into The Depths LP
Into The Depths is the third full-length album from Minneapolis veteran punks WAR//PLAGUE. It will be out some time in November 2018 on Phobia Records in Europe and Organise&Arise in US, so I guess that will cover the world’s appetite for this jewel. About a month to the release date but we have it here in full length to...
(review) RUINT IT – Locked Up Dead
Armageddon Records presents RUIN IT with their debut album “Locked Up Dead”. The wide spectrum of heavy and fast music released by the label is no surprise anymore. RUIN IT come from Rhode Island and are a bunch of middle-aged dudes who grew up together and are having a midlife crisis. So they set up a band. And what a...
