(featured band) Time Apart-hardcore from Indonesia!

Untitled-1

Time Apart are hc/punk band from Malang, Indonesia. On February 2020, Time Apart released a single and music video titled HOMECOMING. Broadly speaking, the lyrics of this single tell about a longing for a friend and at the same time express nausea towards the reality that happened.

The fierce, fast guitar riffs that are the hallmark of Time Apart music peppered with melody can bring listeners to feel anger and sad at the same time.

(review) Brassick-2.0(TNSrecords/Mass Prod)

cover

Brassick are from UK and this is their long awaited second full length album. What do we get here? For sure, an awesome piece of music. There are 14 songs of fast almost screaming angry hardcore punk with sociopolitical lyrical messages, antifascist stand, unity, equality and all the issues some people tend to forget and are important right now more than ever. The music is technically strong, with awesome barrage riffs, fast drumming, almost some crusty parts, bordering with trademark old school UK sound, then turning to some melodic hardcore punk catchy tunes and I love every second of this album. I would definitely love to see these guys perform live. Recommended songs: Vultures of the poor, They say, for fuck´s sake the whole album!

(review)Otage-E.P.(Gargouille Asso)

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!
