Oktoplut – Le Démon Normal LP (Slam Disques)
So far, I have learned that Slam Disques embraces a wide variety of diverse genres under its branch. Therefore, their roster is quite unique and offers something for everyone. No matter what genre you’re into, Slam Disques unquestionably deserves to pay them a visit. I wasn’t familiar with Oktoplut before, but I will repeal that…

Fuck Toute – Fuck Toute LP (Slam Disques)
I get excited when I get the chance to review earlier stuff by some bands. There are thousands of records out there that somehow went unnoticed under the radar, but they unquestionably deserve much more exposure, so here’s the chance to rediscover one of those outstanding records. The debut self-titled full-length recording by Fuck Toute…

Urban Waste – S/T EP CS (Pine Hill Records)
If you paid closer attention to these pages, you probably stumble upon some news about the recently reissued NYHC classics. Pine Hill Records released cassette reissues of Thou Shalt Not Kill EP by Antidote and self-titled EP by Urban Waste. There’s no way you listened to hardcore, punk rock, Oi!, been part of the underground…

Eternal Struggle – Year Of The Gun CD (Demons Run Amok / Upstate Records)
Today I have a special treat for those who love their hardcore music hard, aggressive, relentless as much as possible. This band is a real deal, all-inclusive package, and it stacks all of these qualities as much as possible. After all, they caught the eye of Brian Mitts Daniels (Madball/Skarhead), who offered to the group…

Enraged Monkeys – No Compromise CD (Hicktown Records)
This band caught my attention even before I heard their debut single Leave The Sea. As a longtime fan of Planet Of The Apes movies, comics, books, and the entire franchise, I couldn’t avoid this band by any means. I was even more surprised no one ever considered this franchise for a possible visual/thematical aesthetics…

Truth & Tragedy – Innocence Abandoned CD
Here’s another great one that I purposely left as a treat for this Sunday. Truth & Tragedy is a tremendous post-hardcore duo, which developed as a result of six months of planning, songwriting, and recording. This German duo emanates from Bamberg, and recently they premiered their debut full-length material over social media. Truth & Tragedy…

Tsien – No Two People Are Not On Fire
Tsien is such an interesting English band that emanates from Birmingham. The group disbanded about a decade ago, leaving the unfinished full-length behind. There’s a whole universe made of the bands who went through the same scenario and never released anything to be remembered. Luckily, Tsien decided to remix and remaster their only album and…

Cuffs – Factory Sessions
This band was not familiar to me, but for some reason, I had a strange feeling that I heard their music before. From what I learned about the band in these couple of days, Cuffs are English post-hardcore emanating from Bristol. Since their inception, Cuffs releases several recordings, consisting of singles and extended plays. The…

.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…

Green Jellÿ – Garbage Band Kids CD (Cleopatra Records)
It’s been a while since Green Jellÿ released a brand new material. Eleven years passed since their latest full-length named Musick To Insult Your Intelligence By. In the meantime, Green Jellÿ released several singles, such as Fr3to F33t, Green Jello Suxx Live Three Little Pigs Live Single, Trumpty Dumpty, Marty The Weirdo with Pudge, Silence…

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.…
