Pizzatramp were already featured on the pages of this zine. Their side features two fast thrash punk songs not unlike their record we reviewed here a while ago. If you like your hardcore punk fast, gritty and thrashy with funny lyrics haha this is the right band forya. Incisions I heard for the first time and they are from Manchester and play a bit more crusty version of hardcore punk with some classic UKHC influences, metal and also d-beat carnage. Their two songs are fantastic. This is a nice little release for all you fans of fast diy hardcore punk.
This one was originally released in 2009, but cool Zegema Beach Records rereleased it on tape because they love this one so much and it deserves to be rereleased for new fans to hear this one. The music is strange and chaotic mixture of hardcore, screamo, spoken word, noise and nervous breakdowns. From faster Suspended In Carbonite insanity to more metal and sludgier parts, the songs do not get boring for one second. Also, there are some weird but nice atmospheric parts thrown in some song structures to add to the overall aggressive and desperate yet emotional outbursts in songs. Not unlike the continent, this band is unpredictable, heavy and interesting. Check this one definitely.
I saw Pears play live twice and both times I was just awed by the fantastic energy of their live show, mostly thanks to their fantastic frontman Zach Quinn. This new record contains 14 fantastic songs and Pears still outdo themselves with their combination of ferocious and fast hardcore punk mixed with melody and their New Orleans sludgy song parts. The speed, melody and catchy guitar riffs are topped with fantastic Zach˙s vocals and I am still amazed how this guy can transform from angry shouter punk to gentle melodic singer and back to screaming his guts out, with noisy and dischordant riffs suddenly becoming warm and melodic riffing, just to get back to beastly hardcore. All of the songs are just superb, but if I must choose some that would be Comfortably Dumb, Worm and Funerals. Superb album!
