    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…

  • Ship Of Fools – Status Quo 7″ (Hell For Breakfast Records)

    Ship Of Fools – Status Quo 7″ (Hell For Breakfast Records)

    Today, I would like to introduce to you a powerful Canadian punk rock group. Ship Of Fools roams the underground scene for a while, and in just a couple of years, released a decent amount of recordings. This Newmarket, Ontario quartet published a couple of extended plays, such as Broken Knuckles EP, The Basement Demos…

  • In The Meantime – Long Lost Feelings CD

    In The Meantime – Long Lost Feelings CD

    Germany always had tons of quality punk rock bands, but it seems like even more tremendous groups emerged in recent years. New bands are popping out from nowhere and delivering some fresh ideas on the table. Thankfully, they all differ in sound, more or less, so the German scene bursts with diversity. In The Meantime…

  • Truth & Tragedy – Innocence Abandoned CD

    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…

  • Cuffs – Factory Sessions

    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…

  • Ochi – Tremor EP (Geenger Records)

    Ochi – Tremor EP (Geenger Records)

    I have to admit that I waited with anticipation for this material to come out, and judging by the reactions on social media, I am not the only one. Ochi has created a kind of mystique imagery around themselves with a video for their debut single, mainly because this band popped out of nowhere and…

  • Kontrolle – Zwei LP (Holy Goat Records / Cargo Records)

    Kontrolle – Zwei LP (Holy Goat Records / Cargo Records)

    Today, I would like to introduce another great band that caught my attention a while ago. I wasn’t familiar with their sound before, but luckily, Jürgen of Rookie Records sent me their latest material for review. Kontrolle is a premium German post-punk trio that not only explores the depths of this genre but also goes…

  • TV Generation & The Sinema – Live at Uncle Lou’s, Orlando FL 7″ (DCxPC Live Vol. 2)

    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…

  • V/A – Grazil Records & Friends Vol. 1. (Grazil Records)

    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.…

  • Hiraki – Stumbling Through These Walls LP (Nefarious Industries)

    Hiraki – Stumbling Through These Walls LP (Nefarious Industries)

    It has been a while since I wrote about a band like this. Whoever talked about music with me got the idea that love for noise rock and post-hardcore music lurks somewhere inside. Therefore, this band came like a bit of pleasant surprise that unquestionably made my day. Hiraki is a powerful Danish trio that…

  • Shatten – Shatten LP (Rookie Records)

    Shatten – Shatten LP (Rookie Records)

    I never trusted promo sheets. I always felt like the information enclosed in promo sheets spoils a listening experience. What’s good about brand new music if everything is detailly explained in the promo sheet, right? Shatten is one of those groups that escapes all the straightforward cliches, explanations, and classifications into a singular music genre.…
