210471f9-02e0-4ebf-887e-9b3686ca7b85

A Crime Called unleashes video for the band’s latest, memorable and dynamic single “Drown”! Established on a masterful balance between genuine intensity and cohesively melodic nature, this track impresses with its driving essence, comprised by the A Crime Called‘s proficiency in terms of utilizing the members of the group’s individual musicianship, in the process of developing a well-crafted and instinctively attractive approach towards the creation of a modern, unique and magnetic alternative product, as “Drown” is not only aiming to showcase the undeniable composing talents of A Crime Called, but to also provide an accurate representation of the level of quality that is expected from the formation’s upcoming album – “A New Path” – as well!

(review) Disbaja-Prošlost sadašnjosti/History of now

a2884545493_10

Here is the third album by Disbaja, band nominally from Zagreb, Croatia, although I think none of the current line-up originates from there, but that really doesn`t matter, does it?

Recorded again at studio Depth, this record contains 12 songs, two being kind of intro and outro with lyrics in Croatian language. For those who don˙t know, Disbaja plays hardcore punk with thrash and d-beat thrown in for good measure and thus creating one very dark, almost thing you can feel and touch. The lyrics are inner, personal, but having that political balance and touch if you read between the lines of personal. Kinda like watching the current state of Croatia and the world from your inner self. I love faster songs like Bježi si s puta, but slower, sludgy ones are really outstanding gems on this record, songs like Matrica or Propast(Moj je spas) with epic beginning turning into blistering fast d-beat, which shows the true playing strength of this band and how tight they became in musicianship and songwriting during the years. This is definitely Disbaja˙s best work yet.

(review) The Lawrence Arms-Skeleton Coast(Epitaph)

cover

I must admit that I have never thoroughly listened to The Lawrence Arms. I remember they played Punk Rock Holiday in 2018. but I somehow missed their show due to drink or two that being last day of the festival on Friday as I recall.

For those that don˙t know, The Lawrence Arms are coming from Chicago and are playing excellent melodic punkrock with drive, energy, emotion and conviction. This record melted my face off, broke my heart, made me jumping with joy and delivered catharsis at the same time. Mixture of melodic singing, more harsh melodic screaming and fast punkrock, beautiful choruses and superb melodies made this record one of the best that came out this shitty festival free and gig free year. God damn, I miss gigs and hanging out at gigs singing along to my favorite bands. This record is outstanding with songs like Quiet Storm, Dead Man˙s Coat, Ghostwriter being my favorites on this record, but rest of the material is also fantastic.

10/10
