Caloris Impact – First Impact CS
It’s been a while since I introduced some hardcore punk band on these pages, so what better occasion than now to introduce this Austrian quartet. Caloris Impact is a powerful hardcore unit that emanates from Graz, and this material represents their debut extended play. The group consists of Rebeca on lead vocals, Christian on guitars,…

Chaser – Dreamers CD (Various Labels)
Chaser are back with another outstanding full-length recording. After critically acclaimed Look Alive 7″, these guys took a short break to record highly-anticipated material for their latest effort named Dreamers. Still, the group released a couple of singles prior to the release date, such as 2020, New Direction, and Dreamers, which served as an appropriate…

Call In Dead / 2AMature – Live At The Danger Room, Orlando, FL 7″ (DCxPC Live)
Since the beginning of the pandemic, artists, promoters and venues looked out for all the possible alternatives to play/host live shows, but due to this situation with quarantine, a lot of them decided to call it quits. On the contrary, some of them have adapted to this situation and moved on at the same pace…

Merit Maker – Quarantined EP
I guess the only positive thing about this quarantine is the enormous amount of artists, musicians, and bands, gathering together with the purpose to deliver some quality music to keep us sane during the pandemic. You can pick up any genre you desire at a particular moment and discover some creative minds who contributed to…

Steele Justice – NeonLight LP (Bearded Punk Records)
Ever stumbled upon an album so good that you suddenly realize it deserves a proper review, even if that album was released four years ago? Well, I do all the time, and NeonLight by Steele Justice is one of those albums that undoubtfully sounds like it was released yesterday. I thought it would be great…

Mesecina – Esbat 7″ (Home Mort Records)
Esbat by Mesecina is one of the earlier releases by Home Mort Records and one of the few released on a 7″ format. The label mostly focuses on cassette or long play releases, so this recording comes as a bit of refreshment. Don’t get me wrong, all their releases are equally good, but this one…

Blowfuse – Daily Ritual LP (Various Labels)
Today, I would like to talk a little bit more about Daily Ritual by Blowfuse. For those who might not know, Blowfuse is an insanely good Spanish punk rock group emanating from Barcelona. The group started its musical endeavors as Godfarts but changed its name into Blowfuse sometime in 2013, with the appearance of their…

Sympos – Sympos 10″ LP
Sympos are a relatively new Irish punk rock group from Waterford, formed in 2020 by three music enthusiasts. The group planned to perform some live shows, but due to the pandemic, they focused on songwriting, composing, and producing what would become their debut material. Their compositions are dealing with various personas, relationships, events, situations, circumstances,…

Science Man – Match Game 7″ (Swimming Faith Records)
During the day, John Toohill is a creative individual who performs with the bands such as Alpha Hopper, The Hamiltons, Night Slaves, Spit Kink, The Midnight Vein, Black & White Cat / Black & White Cake, Cobra Cobra, and I probably forgot some other bands he crossed paths with during his musical endeavors. In the…

Alpha Hopper – Alpha Hex Index LP (Hex Records)
Alpha Hopper were quiet for a while, but here they are with another banging recording that will knock your socks off. For those who somehow missed my article about their previous album, Alpha Hopper is a fascinating bunch of creative people emanating from Buffalo, New York. Their music defies classifications into a particular genre, mainly…

Eat Dirt – Death Is Death LP (Bearded Punk Records)
I knew this album would be right up my alley since I stumbled upon cover artwork for the first time. We all probably have the sixth sense that some records will blow us away by just staring at the visual identity of the particular vinyl, so that’s happened with Death Is Death by Eat Dirt.…

Angry Spells – Burn CS (Tarantula Tapes)
Today, I will talk about another great cassette, published by Tarantula Tapes at nearly the end of 2020. Burn is a debut material by Angry Spells, a self-proclaimed witchy punk band that combines all the best affinities of punk rock with a fuzziness of the nineties grunge sound. This tape includes six blistering compositions that…
