Stay Awake – Portraits EP
Nothing matches good melodic punk rock music. There’s something about this particular genre that keeps me returning to it over and over again. The scene is getting stronger every day, with top-notch bands popping out from every possible corner of the globe. Stay Awake is another great skate punk band I had a chance to…

.upset – Slaves Of The New World CD (Geenger Records)
After writing reviews for a second full-length and a Passing The Torch split EP with 8082, I decided to go even further and review a debut album by .upset. By looking at the information included on the cover artwork, I can only assume Geenger Records is supporting these guys right from the start. As far…

.upset / 8082 – Passing The Torch EP (Geenger Records)
Geenger Records are known for being a diverse record label with such unique artists. Their catalog continuously expands, and they’re not staying loyal to one particular genre. Quite the contrary, you may find everything from hardcore punk, post-punk, black metal, world music, and anything else that comes in between those genres. The label keeps activities…

Neighborhood Brats – Confines Of Life LP (Taken By Surprise Records)
Wow! Right off the bat, I have to admit this band is right up my alley. Their music came to me as a bit of surprise because I felt like I received a direct slap in the face as soon I pressed a play button. Neighborhood Brats could be classified as a sort of rarity…

TV Generation & The Sinema – Live at Uncle Lou’s, Orlando FL 7″ (DCxPC Live Vol. 2)
DCxPC strikes back with another volume of the live split releases. I had an opportunity to write about the first edition, so the DCxPC decided to send a second volume for review. For those who somehow missed my previous review, DCxPC was one of the first ones who adapted live streams during the pandemics, but…

Frustrerad – The Truth In Lies 7″
I can’t even express how much I missed some relentless d-beat/hardcore punk music. It’s been a while since I listened to or even wrote an article about some fast, aggressive, loud music, so finally, I got a chance to do it. This interesting 7″ record popped up in my mailbox recently, and it’s not like…

V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 1. (Grazil Records)
Back in the pre-digital era, various artists’ compilations and samplers acted as the crucial source for discovering fresh music. It was a convenient way to promote the latest singles, announce albums or introduce brand new artists/bands to the broader auditorium. Then the digital era commenced, and digital singles replaced regular 7″ records, compilations, and samplers.…

The Boatsmen – Versus The Boatsmen LP (Ghost Highway Records / Spaghetty Town Records)
Before I even start talking about this band, I would like to ask a couple of simple questions. Do you love loud music? Do you love rock’n’roll? Do you love rock’n’roll infused punk rock? Do you love rock’n’roll infused punk rock with occasional explorations into deathpunk, hardcore punk, power pop, and garage rock? If the…

Skism – 2021 CD (Rotten Bastard Records)
This release will be a special treat for the fans of streetpunk sound. Skism is a longstanding streetpunk/Oi! band from New York City that roams the scene since the late eighties. It seems that the group operates as a well-kept secret of the New York City streetpunk scene, judging by the lack of information about…

Desolat – Songs Of Love In The Age Of Anarchy 12″ Picture Disc (Bloodshed666 Records)
It’s been a while since I covered a band like this on our pages. Desolat is a relatively new Austrian band based in Vienna, which arose from the ashes of sludge/stoner group Cyruss. Since 2018, Desolat appeared on a couple of compilations such as Ihr Werdet Euch Noch Weundern and 1998-2018: 20 Years BloodshedD666 Records.…

World War IX – Phoning It In 10″ EP
We all need a proper dosage of old-school hardcore punk from time to time. After all, the music from that period was a gateway for the bands most of us enjoy today, right? Beneath the piles of modern bands who’re evolving with times and delivering recent music technics into punk rock, there’s a vast universe…
