Dead Dog Summer – new band on Croatian punk/hardcore scene

New Croatian band Dead Dog Summer presents their first single “A Wish (All About Me)” which announces their debut album planned for the beginning of next year.

Dead Dog Summer is a new name on the Croatian punk / hardcore scene and members of the band are Igor Bistrovic (guitar, vocals), Kreso Zerjav (bass, vocals) and Boris Strahija (drums).

Members of the band has been active on the scene for over 25 years in bands like The Farewell Reason, Nikad, Senate Fox, Implicite, Youth Against and many others.

The band was formed in late 2020 but the idea of a new band has been brewing in their minds for a long time so the pandemic and lockdown were a great time to spend some time and work on what they love most, making music and playing.

If we describe the music of Dead Dog Summer, it would be easiest to tell that it is post hardcore as it was played in the late 90’s and the name represents “dog heat” that has been cooking in the rehearsal room for the last year since the boys created their debut album.

The band recorded the complete material in their own studio while mixing was done by Filip Sertić from Depth studio.

(review) Primal Age – Masked Enemy (WTF Records)

Leave a comment

Primal Age are coming from France and they have been in the scene since 1995. This is their new opus out with WTF Records who are releasing bunch of awesome hardcore punk bands these days. This record contains intro plus eleven songs. Music of Primal Age can be described as what we called in the nineties new school hardcore. Meaning hardcore leaning more on metallic side of things than on punk roots. Guitar riffs here are cutting, sharp and to the point with thunderous drumming which often turns from hardcore groove to almost death metal blast beats in some of the songs. Of course thunderous bass makes rhythm section unbeatable. Guitars are sharp creating darkened atmosphere yet retaining hidden melodic hooks here and there through the songs, which makes them epic. Vocals are best part of it all, bordering from hardcore shouting, screaming to growling depending on the song and atmosphere. Lyrics speak about animal cruelty, ecology, betrayal, friendship, trust and other merry and less merry hardcore themes. My personal favorites are The Devil Is Hidden In Shadow and The Two Heads Monster. Great release by great band.
