New Accident is out now! This band from Zagreb, Croatia is no stranger in this zine because I already did an interview with them a while ago and couple of reviews.
After a pause and some line-up changes within the band they area back with eight songs in with lyrics in English language. The music is still ferocious, fast, no holds barred hardcore punk with dual vocals, courtesy of Lea and Bart. I love Accident because their music reminds me a lot of old school hardcore punk bands that I listened and watched live a lot when I way younger back in the nineties, namely Verbalni delikt, Nula, DHB, Građani drugog reda, Optička varka, Bad Justice, Radikalna promjena and others. Yet, Accident carries that old school flame but also retains firmly with both feet in this century with good lyrics, political and survival lyrics through prism of looking through person´s own eyes. This is high energy well played, angry hardcore punk with melody thrown smartly in the song structures here and there, the way it should be done, so go listen this one and support your scene and hardcore cause worldwide! My personal favorites: Fall For It, A.T.D., For Free.
Dutch hardcore veterans Cornered are having their tenth release now. They toured Europe and United States and steadily growing in last ten years so these four songs are just great for hardcore kids. The music of Cornered can be described as nineties influenced hardcore more rooting in street punk than in metal, yet taking best from both worlds with equal straightforward parts and moshing parts of the song structures. I would like to see these guys live very much and listen to their awesome songs, I am sure their shows are killer!
Of these four songs, I can say that my personal highlights are Jungle Law, with moshing and slower first half of the song evolving into faster hardcore punk and ending with almost hip hop beat outro. My other favorite is Realm of Misery being most punk song from all the material, reminding me a lot of golden days of Euro hardcore when I was growing up when Ryker´s, Brightside, Only Attitude Counts, Discipline, Right Direction, Backfire! and similar ruled my world. This is great band and great e.p., support hardcore cause worldwide!
