Bauwaves are coming from Austin, Texas and were formed in 2018. This is their debut album and it contains 10 songs. What I really like about this one, is they played raw old school sounding, gritty punkrock with a lost of melody, but also you can feel some garage and even doom Sabbath influences in the song structures. The vocals are just like they should be for such music, raw voiced yet melodic and powerful. I love the old school rehearsal room sound the guys have on their record and it makes me very nostalgic for all the 90-ies demo tapes, early diy albums and everything we collected back then via tape trading in those days. This album carries diy punkrock spirit with pride and in their hearts. Recommended songs: Into the light, Years later, U r everything. This is a great record!

Sniper 66 are hailing from Austin, Texas and I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine. If you like no holds barred hardcore streetpunkrock then this one is the right one for you.
The record contains 15 songs of aggressive and explosive, yet enough anthemic and melodic streetpunk with hardcore influences. The vocals are angry, yet singing and the songs like the title song or Why´d You Have To Die just make you pump your fist high in the air and circle pit around the room and I can only imagine how awesome these guys sound live when the deliver this bombs of the songs. Rarely some album brings emotions that make my batteries full and give me strength to fight on and strive for more and keep the flame of this scene alive and well. This album is definitely one of such albums. If you like bullet belts, mohawks, fast angry punk and singalong songs, check this one out because it is a keeper!
