Hardcore punk legende Motus snimili novi spot za Stisnutu šaku!

Leave a comment

Motus Vita Est, legende zagrebačkog HC punka, snimili su novi spot za pjesmu “Stisnuta šaka” u kojem se na fajterski način iskazuje prkos i otpor prema gubitničkom mentalitetu. Nezgodna i teška vremena u kojima živimo kod nekih su pobudila letargiju i mirenje sa sudbinom, ali ne i kod Motusa, jer oni žestoko i agresivno, kao i uvijek, govore da se sudbina stvara, a ne trpi i da je svatko odgovoran za svoju sreću. Iza čvrstog i žestokog zvuka pjesme kroz tekst se provlači odlučan stav, koji je isto tako buntovan i angažiran, kao što je i optimističan. To je punk u samoj svojoj srži i to je ono što široka publika očekuje od punk legende.

Spot je snimio i montirao redatelj Andrej Korovljev, a producent Vedran Kovačić Beli tonski je zabilježio i obradio pjesmu.

Motusi su bend koji rado slušaju tri generacije pankera i rokera, a njihove pjesme se pjevaju i na tulumima i na uvijek atraktivnim živim nastupima. Uz šest studijskih albuma i dalje su vrlo žestoka i punokrvna koncertna atrakcija, koja iza sebe ima i uspješne turneje po Europi.

U nadolazećim tjednima bend se može uhvatiti uživo u splitskom Klubu Kocka 30.4. u sklopu događaja pod nazivom Otpor ulice: Doček Prvog maja, te 21.5. u riječkom Pogonu kulture u sklopu Punk manifesta, gdje nastupaju uz Deafness by Noise i Nulu.

(review) Wasteland Viper – Dead Men Tell No Tales (Wormholedeath)

Leave a comment

Wasteland Viper is a band from Holland and they recently released their new full length opus via Wormholedeath worldwide. This new album contains ten songs and I can say with certainty that this is a strong release and full of energy head on record with no holds barred. Wasteland Viper play a mixture of hardcore punk, heavy metal and hard rock with clean, melodic, yet not cheesy vocals that fit so great in the whole structure of the band. While listening to this record you can just feel the energy flowing through your body and you catch yourself humming along and singing to the lyrics. From fast Motorhead/hardcore punk of Overdrive, more hard rock oriented Black Snow, pure heavy metal blooded title song, to surprise in the almost doo wop oriented Different World with such superb lyrics and one of my personal favorites on this opus, this album is varied and doesn´t have one filler song or one song that will not make you smile with satisfaction and joy with discovering another great band in the vast sea that we call the underground scene.

(review) BillyBio – Leaders And Liars (AFM Records)

Leave a comment

Billy Graziadei is a NYHC legend and mastermind behind Biohazard. This was my first hardcore band when I was a kid growing up and Urban Discipline came out and Bio is still one of my favorite hardcore bands which introduced me deeper into the NYHC scene and all the legendary bands there. Bio is on hold and they did not release a record for ten years and Billy needed to express himself with something new, thus his second full length with a new band. I somehow think that Billy somehow had more ways and more freedom for artistic expression when creating music in BillyBio than he had in his former or band which is pausing right now. NYHC influences and roots are here and they will always remain, as well as all those punk rock and street punk influences, but there is also metal, even some electronics and industrial samples thrown here and there. Billy´s vocal is more interesting these days, instead of only hardcore shouting, growling and screaming, which is here along with gang backing vocals, there is also melodic side of his voice and it sounds so perfectly with the songs. Of course I will go with more hardcore punk side of songs, but I think BillyBio managed to encompass perfectly old school and more modern side of hardcore and this sophomore album is even better than the debut. My personal favorites: Fallen Empires, Leaders And Liars, Our Scene. Great hardcore album!
