Bighands&Barefoot from Italy have their new record called Spirits. I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

These guys are hailing from Italy and are interesting because they are playing kind of different music than we are used to, meaning their music is very dirty, it reminds me a bit of a mixture between New Orleans muddy bajou bluesy sludge Sabbatesque sound mixed with your raw version of punkrock thus creating cool song structures. There are 11 songs on this record and each one is different and interesting to listen to, making record not boring is only plus in my eyes. There are faster, more straightforward songs like Fire, but there are also more slower ones, like beautiful melodic and atmospheric The Gate which is for me absolutely one of the highlights on this record. Black Snake is also one of my personal favorites on the record combining raw energy of punk and guitar prowess of rock and blues. Not to discover just all, you will have to get the record and find out for yourself and discover the uniqueness of this band.

(review) CC-Prisoner Of State

After the great debut ep, CC are back with their debut full length album. I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

I saw this band from Zagreb, Croatia, play live as a support to Slapshot in Slovenia this past winter and I can safely say that they are one of the most energetic hardcore punk bands that I listened on Croatian scene in the last ten years or so. This line-up is musically so tight and so awesome that I literally get goosebumps while listening. The album has 8 songs, some are in Croatian language, some in English. The lyrics are about being a modern slave, about releasing your chains, how to stay alive and maybe normal in this world and similar. Fast paced thrash hardcore punk with angry vocals, great backing vocals, some catchy guitar riffs and above all greatly written songs. It all reminds me of the legacy of  fine 90-ies bands from Zagreb like Verbalni Delikt, Radikalna promjena, DHB, Optička varka and similar jewels of the scene back in the days, only better. Filip and Studio Depth really done a great job again and the sound of this album is fantastic! I recommend it and also recommend you to check out this band live! Top songs for me:Prisoner Of State, Liar, Tvoj Stav, Tvoja Metoda.
