Hot Flowers – Camera LP (Hot Garden Records)
At what point does punk music evolve into experimental? What properties does the band need to have to claim a title of an experimental band at all? I think this band answers all these questions with their recent full-length album. Hot Flowers were strangers to me until a month ago when I spoke with the…

Honey For Petzi – Observations + Descriptions CD (Two Gentlemen)
The Swiss music scene stands strong according to the artists/bands I had a chance to listen to in the past couple of years. Swiss groups and artists always push the boundaries of known and lesser-known genres to the max, so even if you stumble upon a regular indie band, there are high possibilities you’ll listen…

Chain And The Gang – In Cold Blood LP (Sounds Of Subterrania)
I believe that most of our readers will be familiar with the name, such as Ian Svenonious, especially those into Dischord Records releases. The record I would like to talk about today is another recent Sounds Of Subterannia release. The label has again proven the point of being open to almost every music genre, but…

Makazoruki – On The Wire CD (Geenger Records)
Particular recordings are sounding fresh, even nearly a decade after their initial release. The groups who’re brilliant enough to write, record, produce and release music that will become timeless are rare nowadays. Luckily, some bands eventually contain a formula to preserve the vitality of their music as the years are passing by. Makazoruki is unquestionably…

JOHNS – Grift Marks LP (Swimming Faith)
Here’s another hidden gem from the Swimming Faith vault. JOHNS are no strangers to these pages, and previously I had a chance to write a couple of lines for their Night Market cassette release. Night Market happens to be their latest recording, but I am positively sure the guys are secretly working on some material.…

This material is, what I truly believe, a second full-length by this Buffalo, NY-based quartet. Despite being fully aware of all the activities surrounding Swimming Faith, this recording somehow went under the radar, but luckily, now I have a chance to write a couple of lines about it. For those who missed my previous reviews…

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…

Uncensored – Μέσα μου Ζει CD (Polyscope)
No matter which genre we’re talking about, Greece has always been a fertile ground for exceptional bands. Pick any genre from melodic punk rock, crust punk, stoner, sludge metal, or plain hard rock, Greek bands are nailing it in every genre you could even imagine. I was fully aware of their experimental avant-garde scene and…
