They have been pretty busy since their debut release, playing loads of gigs in Poland and sharing their tracks on animal shelter benefit LP and a split LP with Long Way To...
THE DOG – Avenge Us CD/12”EP/CASS
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. Henry David Thoreau Henry David Thoreau’s line brings me nicely to THE DOG’s newest release, “Avenge Us”, available in three formats on Arcadian Industry. THE DOG are searching for their own character and this record is the proof. Those of you who have heard their first...
DROPDEAD again! First two albums remastered!
And already at the pressing plant. The very first album, original mixed in 1993 by Don Fury is now remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The terrorizing 34-track blistercore classic from ’93 will be reissued and sounding as putrid as the day it was killed. Thirty-four songs of pulverizing political hate, social disgust, and personal loathing. Originally released in 1993...
Sanctus Propaganda say “No!” to sweatshops,
Bands pride themselves on being DIY (…) but they’ve overlooked where they buy and source their t-shirts from. Kieran (The Restarts) T-shirts sell in their millions every year. Punk t-shirts are part of that market. Punk has always been about fighting for the rights of the weaker ones and against the oppressors. Just like we think what we eat, what...

DROPDEAD release their third album. We heard it ALL and …
… and we were in it for a little surprise. A positive one, mind you. But first things first. DROPDEAD formed in January 1991 in Providence, Rhode Island, but the original four-person lineup met in December 1989. They played music together for a year before a lineup change saw Bob and Ben switch instruments, a name change, and a great...
LAST AGONY – s/t 7”EP
A debut vinyl release from this Toronto based crust band with members from ABSOLUT and IDNS. Phobia Records seems most appropriate to release such stenchy and crusty noise as they specialise in discovering little germs like that. 4 short-ish tracks with break-your-neck kind of attitude. Very heavy guitar sound, maniac vocals that provide this additional noise and lots of of...
SANCTUS PROPAGANDA statement: Organize&Arise!
Punks and all other anti-authoritarian tribes and individuals on Facebook is a joke now. It’s like being vegan and buying a vegan burger from McDonald’s. It’s like punk festival sponsored by a corporation. Facebook IS a corporation. Thus it represents POWER and AUTHORITY. Facebook will NEVER hesitate to use their POWER against YOU. In pre-social media times, before big data...

I remember writing about their EP on Refuse Records here and being quite surprised by the powerful hardcore I heard on this wee record styled in CRASS symbolism. So when I got the copy of their debut LP again on Refuse Records but this time co-released with Atomic Action Records,...

Apparently, this is their second release on the label after the “Tross Alt” LP, co-released by Stonehenge Records. MODERN LOVE from Oslo do what their name says. They distribute love to punks...

“Humanity has some unidentified major flaw in itself”. Interview with THE THRONE.
THE THRONE have been around for the past decade but it’s the last 2-3 years that changed a lot for them. They eagerly recorded and toured, and since we both shared the same space quite often, the natural consequence was to release a split LP for them and ORPHANAGE NAMED EARTH. The record was released March 20, on splatter and...
