R!OT is Montreal’s new Punk Rock supergroup, composed of Sean Ryan (Irish Nails, The Mahones) on vocals and guitar, Danny Duke (The Ataris, The Queers, Ripcordz) on bass and vocals and Guillaume Lauzon (The Brains, Gutter Demons, People and Space) on Drums.

(review) Bloodsucking Zombies From Outer Space – Shock Rock Rebels

Leave a comment

BZFOS are back! Shock Rock Rebels is the new, tenth album in the twenty blood soaked years these Vienna based fiends walk among us. This is the second album this band got away from their more psychobilly horror oriented history and evolved into melodic horror punk rock band, in fact doing what they want is what Dead Richy Gein and his gang do best. I can say this new collection of songs is somehow one level up continuation of their previous opus All These Fiendish Things. This new one contains melody, horror, sarcasm, black humor and gore, just like a good horror should do. I consider Richy one of the greatest horror movie fiend authorities in Europe and I love what he does and I can safely say this album and the previous one are the best this band has done yet. Although hits like Stop Writing Songs About Your Girlfriend, Damien, Belial, This Night On Halloween and other horror songs are my favorites, Off With Their Heads is absolute hit for me, being the fastest melodic anthem with slight political touch between the lines. There are rock songs, there are metal influences and hard rock, but common denominator behind it all is good old horror punk rock. Great album. Also, check out their videos because they are quite little nice horror movies.

(review) Turnstile – GLOW ON

Leave a comment

Being old school grumpy hardcore asshole that I am, I ignored Turnstile until now, although I saw praises for their music all over the globe in most known and total underground fanzines and websites, my friends are also crazy for their music, so I decided to check out this album to see what was the hype for.

God damn it, I am glad that I did check this one out. This is their latest album and opening riffs and rolling drums of Mystery reminded me a bit of Life Of Agony but then turned into something completely different. Turnstile play hardcore, but the beauty of this band is that they are so unpredictable and all the beauty lies totally in that fact. Some of the songs start as straightforward melodic hardcore punk, then turned into some smartly used electronic backed Refused-kinda songs then turning into calmer more atmospheric parts, spacy and dreamy only to return to hardcore sheer aggression and madness again. This is one of the most original hardcore bands I have listened to ever. These guys bring refreshment and new winds to the scene, although I love old school the most, this one is fun, energizing and refreshing listen. Check this one out.
