Wow! That´s what I like about fastcore. Otage are French hardcore punk band and they released their e.p. and lovely diy label Gargouille Asso. The e.p. contains 5 songs. The music is just what these desperate times lack, meaning pissed off hardcore punk with raw screaming, fast tempo changes from fast pogo slam style to some moshing parts like in my favorite Brasiers. The lyrics are in French but judging by little that I understand they are pissed off and political in a way, so I like that. I can only imagine how much energy this band delivers while playing live. It must be total fantastic hardcore energy bomb. Great hardcore punk for your listening pleasure indeed!
Fast Lane are coming from Bordeaux, France and they play melodic punkrock with fast skatepunk strong melodies and great vocal lines and harmonies. This new record features twelve excellent fast and energetic songs, just the right measure of speed and melody like I love. What I also love is dual vocals with two different voices that fit just perfectly into the picture of the songs arrangements. The lyrics are personal, about friendship, survival in these fast times that we live in, love for the gigs and traveling, scene, not giving up also love and loss. For me, the best songs on the album that I could recommend to you are The Stars Were In Your Eyes, Angels Are Free, So Stop Bashing Society. Great album!
Creating friendship between long time buddies, Forgive expresses Hardcore at its purest and most melodic.
Viscerally rock riffs that are intertwined with rage and the authenticity of punk-hardcore. Somewhat distinct horizons, which have produced an album that is rich and faithful to its origins.
The band arrives with their first debut album Mirrors, subtle and respectful of the energy they share live.
