Is this the first punk concept band about the pandemic? Perhaps it is. Comprising members of MORROW, WREATHE, AUTARCH, KADRE, they do have a great (almost) DIS name. Not sure if this is to be continued as the band lives all over the world, so for the time being I take it as a “lockdown boredom” project. This 4 track...
BONER KILLER – demo
Raw d-beat fans, take notice. BONER KILLER are a fairly new band from Warsaw, Poland having played a few gigs here and there. This demo introduces them to the scene with 8 raw old school d-beat tracks. Typically structured they do however boast original guitar sound and hysteric vocals. Think of it as Finish & Japanese mixture. Track titles say...
THIS ENDS HERE – The Last Hundred Years CASS
Whoa, THIS ENDS HERE from Bristol have been going strong for 10 years now and I just heard them when they sent me this tape for a review. Major oversight on my end, sorry! From Bristol, this 4-piece astonishes me a lot. It’s a proper album but released on tape and digitally by Prejudice Me and Never Fall Into Silence...

SNAKE TONGUE – No Escape – No Excuse EP
This is my first encounter with Linköping/Norrköping based SNAKE TONGUE. Some of you might be familiar with the band as they already have their debut album on account, released in 2016 on The Sign Records. Looks like they were quite busy after the debut release, touring Europe extensively and also flying over to Mexico for a few gigs. This...
F.O.T.K. is something to watch out for … watch and listen.
Artificial intelligence will soon be running in the background of all the law enforcement networks on Earth. Amid the CHAOS and confusion of many modern cities in the UK. Facial recognition and image enhancement technology Is already in place. At the first sign of DISORDER, local police and enforcement agencies will be able to fall back on tried and tested...
SCAVENGERS CIRLCE – Beyond Repair CD
OK, so two latest SANCTUS PROPAGANDA releases are just about to see the daylight. The covers for ORPHANAGE NAMED EARTH/THE THRONE split 12” should land tomorrow (or today for some of you already, orders come for all over the world) and inserts for HOMOMILITIA are being printed as I am told. So I went underground today to count all...
HERÏDA/TARSIUS TARSIER – split LP
Every time I put my hands on a release that is a fruit of international collaboration between DIY records labels from all over this planet I know the spirit of DIY, networking and worldwide resistance is alive and kicking. This record is no exception. Co-released by 17 (!) labels it allows to say this record is available everywhere you...
TERYKY – Overcome 12”
TERYKY come from Hamburg and consist of 4 musicians who do not see the world in bright colours. And this is reflected in their music as well. Slow or very slow, dark or very dark, sad or very sad. The record takes you from calm and quiet guitar riffs to outbursts of anger and misanthropy that slowly build a...

PROP 009 Featuring two very active and thought provoking bands from Poland that gain lots of recognition these days.

WARA – Live, Pobiedna 2019 CD
OK, so before I start I have a few questions. What the hell is WARA and where do they come from? I never heard of them and I know nothing about them! Why are they releasing a live record prior to the studio one? Dunno. And most of all, what makes them so bloody good? So, first things first....

HALLUCINATOR – Another Cruel Dimension LP
Carbonized Records from San Jose, California are back with another fine release. We reviewed their great package from hardcore outfit ISOTOPE here, but this time it’s a different kind of noise. HALLUCINATOR are from Oakland, USA and started in 2014 when a few guys wanted to play fast death metal. Fair enough. One thing led to another and so...
