Los Fastidios – XXX The Number Of The Beat LP (KOB Records / Fire And Flames Music / Potencial Hardcore)
Los Fastidios celebrate their 30th anniversary, so what’s a better way to celebrate than with a brand new album. I have to admit that I was excited about it as soon as I saw the news in my inbox. It’s been a while since I received any news about Los Fastidios, and I was excited…

V/A – …And Out Come The Lawsuits LP (Sell The Heart Records / Lavasocks Records)
Everyone loves Rancid. I never stumbled upon a punk rocker who said he’s not into some Rancid albums. Favorite picks differ because of personal preferences, but the impact of this legendary group is notable all over the place, and it seems it even intensifies over the years. The release I would like to talk about…

T-Killas – Awareness CD (Fire And Flames Music)
We had some ska-punk included on these pages a couple of days ago, so let’s continue in the same manner. Here’s another outstanding record from a Fire And Flames catalog, released a year ago on vinyl and compact disc. I was surprised when I realized this material came out a year ago. For some reason,…

Resaka Sonora – Frekuenzia CD (Fire And Flames Music)
Here’s another tremendous music release from a recent Fire And Flames Music batch. I rarely have a chance to write reviews for ska bands, but those politically charged ska-punk bands are even rarer on our pages. Still, when releases like these arrive at our headquarters, they always sound incredible. That’s the case with this most…

Inner Terrestrials – Heart Of The Free LP (Various Labels)
Today, I have the privilege to review the latest full-length material by living legends. There’s no way you got involved with the British anarcho-punk scene and missed Inner Terrestrials. The group roams the underground scene for nearly three decades, went through several lineup changes, toured Europe many times, released five brilliant albums, a handful of…

Victory Kid – Discernation LP (SBÄM Records)
We’re all witnessing a pop-punk revival, and cool new bands are popping from every part of the globe. Luckily, most of these new bands are sounding incredibly good, and not only do they’re sound good, but they’re offering some new moves rarely seen/heard before. With all these revivals popping out in recent years, the key…

Less Than Jake / Kill Lincoln – Wavebreaker #1 (Bad Time Records)
I am totally into the music of both groups for months (been listening to Less Than Jake for twenty years or so), but somehow I missed the news about their recent split release. It seems I somehow managed to put this information under the rug for no particular reason because I can’t recall seeing the…

Authority Zero – Ollie Ollie Oxen Free LP
This band doesn’t need any introduction. Authority Zero roams the melodic punk rock scene for decades, and their music ages like a fine wine. Each following album offers even more improvements, surprises, potential punk rock hits, and they’re certainly one of those bands that are not allowing any mistakes during the recording process. Their impressive…

Coolidge – Condition Transmission
What’s first coming up to your mind when it comes to ska music? There are plenty of groups out there, right? Well, you’re not far from the truth, but there are plenty of bands out there who’re nurturing such a sophisticated sound that goes way beyond some ska standards. Coolidge is one of those groups…

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…

3dBs Down – Get Your Retaliation In First LP (Engineer Records)
I was not familiar with this band until David of Engineer Records advised me to take a couple of listens of their latest recordings. He sent me the material, but due to the nature of my work, I settled this material aside until I complete previous submissions for the blog. At some points, their logo…

The Camel City Blackouts – Possession CD
After more than four decades of punk rock and countless groups who tried out to become the next big thing on the scene, it’s hard for newer groups to shine bright on the spotlight. It’s becomes nearly impossible to deliver something completely different than the remaining portion of the scene and preserve the true essence…
