    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…

    Here’s another retrospective review as part of digging through the rich history of Geenger Records. This prolific Croatian label released this particular recording ten years ago, but this extended play still sounds relevant today, in times when the new wave is receiving another well-deserved revival treatment.

  • 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…

Whoever dared to try knows that’s not an easy…
