SLUTET wasn’t an easy band for me. I must say I wasn’t taken in by their previous record and I didn’t give it a second chance. So I was a bit sceptical when I received this one from Phobia Records to review. And it came again. I wasn’t taken in. But this time I did...
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...
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...
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...
When Saturday Night Fever strikes you in the midst of isolation – youtube them and pump up the volume. Or when it’s all over and you feel like rocking the floor with your mates … look for the gig listing of WOLFHEAD59. Emerging from London punk scene, WOLFHEAD59 are a two-piece hardcore techno act. Blending...
PROP 009 Featuring two very active and thought provoking bands from Poland that gain lots of recognition these days. ORPHANAGE NAMED EARTH play two massive tracks incorporating tribal drums, heavy riffs and romantic guitars blended with anger and the spirit of unity. THE THRONE send 4 blows right in your face with their dirty, bone...
We are not finished with new releases for 2020. Having announced PROP 008 HOMOMILITIA – s/t LP and PROP 010 WARWOUND – WWIII CD here is PROP 009 to fill the gap: ORPHANAGE NAMED EARTH/THE THRONE – split 12″. This is ORPHANAGE NAMED EARTH third release (all released on SANCTUS PROPAGANDA) , and this time...
TRAVØLTA from Belgium started in 2015 and since then have released four split records with Days Of Desolation, Gewoon Fuckign Raggen, Marxbros and Boom. Time has come to issue their own LP which is now in production, entitled “In Tinnitus We Crust”. The title may suggest, crust fans will find something up to their liking...
Remember Voorhees from UK? So TIED DOWN feature members from these legends as well as from Break It Up. Now you know what to expect from the veterans of hardcore punk and it is definitely not mellowness. It’s aggression, anger, speed and rawness. TIED DOWN manage to mix the ferocious hardcore sound with melody...
Another band from Berlin released by Refuse Records, also based in Berlin. THE FOG are a fairly new creature and to my thinking, they require certain audience to appreciate their hardcore. At first I thought I played the single too slow but no, this is how it sounds. It sounds as if they want...
Released yesterday on vinyl by Dark Operative. BLEACH EVERYTHING is another band from Richmond, US reviewed this week. Having heard their previous EPs I eagerly picked up this release with high expectations. No disappointments. Heavily produced hardcore punk with metal-ish guitars, solid bass and slightly distorted vocals represent the present state of arts for...
Refuse Records and Emancypunx Records share more than this anger filled, riot punk EP but let’s focus on the record only. EAT MY FEAR are a Berlin based queer feminist hardcore punk band that use music as another weapon in our fight for a better world. This 6 song single which plays in less...
We haven’t heard a proper full-length from these Swedish hardcore legends since 2008. Instead, they occasionally throw a few EPs in our way, two of them being released in 2018: the split with BRISTLES and this one. However, a new LP is already in the pressing plant, entitled “Den Falske Kakaoinspektören”, hence this review....
What a nice wee surprise from Refuse Records. NO-HEADS are from Richmond and continue to do what the classics like Mad Parade from Los Angeles or The Trouble from Boston had started. They mix street punk with hardcore. Not a brand new recipe from a great music to listen, dance or run to....
Another fine release from War Records run by a STRIFE member. This time it’s FIXATION from Philadelphia. And yet again, another portion of very fast 4 hardcore songs in under 5 minutes. INFEST fans take notice. It’s ripping, dirty and with great tempo changes characteristic to the genre, where bass guitar comes into foreground...
