(REVIEW) Akrabut-Agam Habakbukim

a4081772088_10

Time for a band from Israel to grace the pages of this zine. Haifa to be exact. On their page Akrabut says that they are coming from the ghettos of Haifa.  The music on this record sound just like that. There are six songs all being sung in Hebrew and they play raw and energetic hardcore punk with angry vocals which sail into some melodic waters here and there, almost crusty guitar riffs, darkened, almost apocalyptic atmosphere and some d-beat influenced song parts here and there. Unfortunately I really don´t know what the songs are about, so maybe they sing about political themes, maybe fun, maybe personal, I really don´t know. But, music speaks for itself that this is great e.p. for punx more oriented on the rawer side of things.
