(record review)SKEPTIC?-“Hornet´s Nest”

Leave a comment

Skeptic? are the longest running hardcore punk band from Birmingham, Alabama being on the scene since 2001. This is their third lp and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

This record contains 12 songs of blistering and energetic hardcore punk, done like not many bands do it nowadays. This is angry, old school fast hardcore punk like time stopped and you are again that kid stomping around in mosh pit and circle pit, proud on every stage dive. Wait, some of us, including me, are still that kids. Angry, shouted vocals, cutting edge guitars, gang backing vocals make this record a keeper! There are some hints of nice back melodies, for example in the awesome “I Don´t Believe”. There are also some guitar solos like in “Contradictions”. If you are  fan of old school hardcore punk like Circle Jerks, Poison Idea, Negative Approach and stuff like that, this will be your new favorite band. This is Alabama´s best kept secret! After listening to the songs like “Bound to Lose” or “Countdown” you will feel like you got stung by hornets. But, you will want more and you will want that desperately.

(record review)-DETOXI-“Death of a nation”

Leave a comment

Detoxi is an American band from Ventura, California and they play horrorpunk with darkened atmosphere and some gothpunk influences. I listened to their new record and reviewed it for this webzine.

I must admit I have never heard of these guys prior to this record, but I am glad that I have now. This record contains 5 songs and when you basically strip down the music what remains is pure blooded punkrock. The lyrics of the songs are darkened and you get a feeling of despair while reading and listening to the songs but this is not your basic horrorpunk with themes from the movies and novels and stories and legends. This is personal point of view and battling your own demons which I can feel in this music. This band probably maybe doesn´t feel like part of the horrorpunk scene but this record proves all the beauty and diversity of that beloved subgenre because horrorpunk community is still small and it´s good that it is small but tight and open to all of the influences, from industrial, doo wop to the classic Misfits-esque sound.  If you like darkened punkrock then this record is just right for you.
