Keeping it real with good old crusty anarcho punk, here at SANCTUS PROPAGANDA we never say NO! I haven’t heard a better fresh&true release in months.We reviewed the debut LP from DISCORDANCE here and were astonished. So are we here. Very well produced, thick in sound hardcore punk that is a great energy provider for any punk day. Fast,...
HOMOMILITIA – s/t LP
PROP 008 Poland’s most influential DIY punk band – HOMOMILITIA. Active in the 90’s, touring Europe extensively they uniquely blended metal guitar sound with punk d-beats, spirit and anger. This LP finds the band at the pinnacle of their musical achievements. The sound they managed to produce on this recording 20 years ago still puts to shame many contemporary metal...
(pre-order now open!!!) HOMOMILITIA release their 2nd LP after 20 years on SANCTUS PROPAGANDA (listen).
Pre-order is open now. Go to our shop. How long have you been waiting for a record to be released? Most probably not as long as 20 years in case of this jewel by HOMOMILITIA. Recorded 20 years ago it never made it to mastering stage and was left in a cardboard box at the guitarist’s basement, waiting for its...

2019 TOP 10: Raquel J Alves
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 TOP 10 of the year....
Down the memory lane. UK punk travel with Google Maps
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 80s and 90s had the...
TOXIC EPHEX are back and target Boris.
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 “Civilised/Land of Opportunity” 28 years...
(review) KMKZ – Opor CD
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 and announces much more activity...
(review) THE DEAD GOATS – Baptized In The Grave 7″ EP
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 and boasts three tracks, including...
(review) OHYDA – Koszmar LP
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 so on “Koszmar”. 7 tracks,...
“It’s been pretty sobering how our lyrics are still valid”. Interview with DISAFFECT.
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 DISAFFECT are back! And it...
