We’ve been hard at work, mining the trenches to uncover all the lost and loved songs from LEFTÖVER CRACK’s career. That’s no small task, considering their 20+ years of cranking out some of the most iconic crust/punk/ska ever created. Well, after years of tracking down mislaid tapes, long-out-of-print 7”s, and hidden recordings, we are thrilled to reveal that on November 30th, LEFTÖVER LEFTÖVER CRACK will see the light of day! Packed with 30 tracks of B-sides and rarities, you’ll also enjoy two songs that were previously unreleased on digital. Trust us, this is an excellent addition to the LEFTÖVER CRACK cannon, and is available today for pre-order!

LOC will be heading out on an epic tour this November with an incredible lineup. Check out the dates with Negative Approach, Crazy And The Brains, and more, right here

(record review)Heckel & Jeckel-Fourth death(P.O.G.O.Records)

Heckel & Jeckel have a record out on P.O.G.O.Records, so it was about time for me to listen and review it for this zine.

I didn˙t find much info about these guys. All I can say that it is a masked duo and that this record contains 4 songs. The music is a bit special and a bit harsh for listening if you are not a fan of such music. These guys play dirty punkrock with some sludge, electronic and even a little grungy influences. The sludge parts are nicely done and I must especially mention I Crush You Under My Shoes which made me really nervous while listening, but I guess that was the intention hehehe. Every song is different and you can listen it as a different whole and independent from the record. I personally liked Not To Touch The Earth the most, being somehow the best song on the record in my opinion. This is noisy kind of punkrock, so if you are a fan of such music, go grab this one, for me it was somehow not my cup of tea unfortunately.

6,5/10
