INSTILL released this new demo with five songs and it is a blast! I mean really, a lessson in fastcore, hardcore punk powerviolence with all songs being under a minute reminding me of Senata Fox and similar bands. Screaming vocals, blasting drums, distorted bass and thundering sound, this one has it all. There is not much to write about this one, because it is such a short one, but if you are a fan of powerviolence hardcore punk you won’t regret if you check out this demo.
The punkrock scene in Slovenia is not very large, but it is rather compact with awesome bands, some labels and promoters doing fantastic job with organizing great gigs and festivals!
The Mor(r)ons are coming from Kranj area and this is their third album. I listened to the record and reviewed it for this webzine. I must admit that I was blown away by the sound of this record and the music it contains. There is a total of 14 anthems on this record and each and every one of them makes me wish that I wrote them. The music is straightforward fast and faster melodic punkrock, skatepunk fastcore. Mamma mia, I can only imagine how this sounds live because I didn´t check this band live yet, but I consider it a must! The lyrics are in English language and the vocals sometimes reminded me of early Fat Mike but that is only my opinion and you will maybe hear it differently. This guys really know how to play and write great songs. There are couple of my favorites in this record. First “Etuda” being for me the best song on the record. “Lose Yourself” makes me think about how music saves, it is not just a proverb, but thousand times proven truth. The third one is “Sixth Mass Extinction Cycle” because of the awesome melody in the song which made me listen to it over and over again! Great album!

You gotta love the French hardcore scene giving us so many excellent bands and TEN MINUTES LATER from Saint Étienne is definitely one of them. This is their album, and if you love melodic and fast, energetic hardcore, you should definitely check out this one! I listened the album and reviewed it for this webzine!
The record contains 10 songs of awesome hardcore and these guys have been around delivering the fast hardcore since 2016. The songs are awesome and fast. The lyrics are a fine mix of politically engaged and personal and these guys have their hearts and beliefs in the right places. I love “Her Smile” with nice emotional lyrics and melody. There are also some ultra fast almost chaotic songs like “Too expensive” about the price of work. The whole record is an awesome mix of European fast political hardcore punk with American hardcore from the 80-ies. The short and sweet “Pepsi Generation” brought the point in less than a minute. This whole album is an energy hardcore bomb just waiting to strike, so check it out!
