(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.

Hard touring band THE RUN UP (Bristol, UK) have announced that their new record will be released in time for their US tour following their popular ‘Good Friends, Bad Luck’ EP which was released in November 2018.

The melodic punks have spent much of the last two years playing across Europe, crafting a name for themselves as one of the most exciting bands in the punk rock scene right now.

There is a plethora of labels releasing the record “It’s amazing to have so many rad labels and people involved with releasing our new record, we are truly honored” says Daniel, bassist. “We 10 long days in York recording with Dave Boothroyd at Reel Recording Studios and it was an amazing experience. Dave is a champion and has became a good friend through the experience. He pushed us and helped the record turn out to be what it is, our best yet by a long way.”

“We spoke to lots of labels, including some huge ones; we listened to our friends and took on all the advice we could. We needed to feel comfortable with how the release was going to be and we are so stoked with the labels involved. Real Ghost Records in the UK, Gunner Records in Europe and our new friends La Escalera Records (CA), Swamp Cabbage (FL), Money Pit Music (GA), Get Party (Canada) and &Vinyl (TN) in North America have all been a dream to work with. All amazing people who we are eternally grateful for for putting their  belief in us.”

The official relese date is 3rd October with the band hitting the US for a month-long tour and then head back tour Europe to conitue party with a further 3 weeks of touring.
