The WAB from Spain were formed as a reaction to the disappointment with the current state of the punkrock underground scene.
Categorizing their music as brutal punk, a mixture of uncompromising raw strength of pure punkrock and metal influences and driven by strong DIY ethics and love for the underground scene, they recently released their new single called “Drunk With Power”. You can listen/watch here and watch out for the album “…and kill the worms” coming soon!
I really don´t know much about Drinking Boys And Girls Choir, apart from that they come from South Korea. Being from there, they have the honour to be the first Korean band featured on the pages of this zine.
This record contains 18 songs in about 43 minutes of time, and I personally think that this is too much for one record. With that, also the quality of the song differs from excellent melodic skatepunk tracks to some pop punk and K-pop boring songs. For me the absolute highlights of the album are “Red shift”, “On the street” and “National Police shit”. The production is okay but I would love some more power in the guitars but it is an okay punk record. The dual boy/girl vocals also nicely fit in and create an interplay in the song structures. But, being this long and with so many songs, this album just doesn´t manage to keep me concentrated and keep my attention for the duration. Okay album.
I first heard this band when they played at Trash N Burn couple of years ago. I liked them very much after their set there and I was very happy when this new record arrived.
The Rocket Dogz come from Prague, Czech Republic. They play psychobilly with punkrock, horrorpunk and rockabilly influences. The trio sounds very tight, very powerful and they are certainly one of the strongest European acts in that scene nowadays. They played gigs throughout the years that made them very loved and respected in the scene. The album contains 13 tracks with lyrics in English of course and I loved the energy and melody on this album. Everything in the song structures is just perfect, melodies, riffs, vocal lines, voice, backing vocals and of course, the lyrics. You can´t go wrong with songs like “Cemetery Walls” or “Slaves of the Darkness” or “Blood Moon Rising”. This is an excellent album that not only psychos will like, but also punkrockers will enjoy these blood soaked tracks.
