ABOUT THE SONG AND VIDEO:

Lauren (vocals/guitar): “If I Fall is my interpretation of the battle I have in my head which comes with being in love whilst having a mental illness. This song means crazy loads to me because Alexei sings all the backing vocals and I wrote it when I felt like I was pushing him away.
“We DIYd the video in our practice space. We used a 5 year old iPhone taped to a mic stand and edited on a 5 year old Android phone for balance. We love how it turned out and feel it represents the 4 of us perfectly in both personality and collective bank balances.”
ABOUT LA MOXIE
“We are Lauren (singing and guitar) Nathaniel (drums and enthusiasm) Alexei (guitar and cynicism) and Ryan (bass and gratuitous hair metal intro speeches). We’re from Birmingham and would self describe as skate punk. Tho we’d shrug and agree with emopunk or poppunk and honestly, Lauren’s the only one who skates. We’ve only been doing this since last summer and we’ve been lucky enough to play with The Bombpops, Petrol Girls, The Creepshow and Nervus.”

(review) Bull Brigade-Stronger Than Time(Demons Run Amok)

vis19

Bull Brigade are streetpunk oi band from Turin, Italy. This is their new e.p. out with Demons Run Amok. There are two songs on this record, the title song for which a video was made, excellent streetpunk with anthemic melodies, singalong chorus and larger than life guitar riffs. The second song, Circle In A Square is also punk anthem for the kids who found luck and love under cold street lights, for all of us who tasted the coldness of the street, harsh life and the vicory to be alive and show teeth to the enemy each day and believe in scene, friendship and survival in this rough world. Great little e.p.

(review) Gemišt-S/T e.p.

a3621143492_10

We already featured Gemišt on the pages of our zine, whether in gig reports or interviewing them. I watched them play live, both with old and now with new singer and these guys are unstoppable grindcore machine destroying everything in their path. The guys from the band are really active in our local scene, promoting diy gigs, playing in various bands and also keeping the faith in the hard times without decent club or place to organize gigs in, but managing and keeping the scene alive. Hats off to them for that! There are intro and three songs on this new e.p. and the lyrics are about nationalism, clerofascism on the rise, alienation in this modern times and consumerism, plus classic more death metal lyrics in one song hehe, I bet the singer wrote that one hehe. If you are into diy grindcore and support the scene, go to Bandcamp and support these guys, they definitely deserve it with their approach and activity in the scene.
