Jet8 are Czech band based in Prague and this is their new record. I must admit this record is the first one I have heard from this band. I am sorry that I didn`t listen to them before, because the music Jet8 create is really fantastic. They play a mixture of more harsh hardcore punk with skacore full of hardcore punk guitar riffs, catchy choruses made for singalong and nice vocal lines beautifully arranged, on top added some screaming vocals and trumpets. Sounds like mish mash of everything, right? But, no worries, the record and the music is just super. The songs like Chasing The High, Die Alone and Minute To Midnight being my favorites. Nice one.
In Case Of Ire are coming from Sweden and that country has a great tradition in delivering awesome melodic hardcore punk bands such as No Fun At All, Millencolin, Satanic Surfers…
This is their debut e.p. and it contains 4 songs of fast melodic hardcore punk not unlike the above mentioned bands. The lyrics are rather personal, but nicely written and there are also some hardcore influences like in awesome Resistance Is Futile. The vocal harmonies are good, the hardcore energy on which we all feed is here, and you can check this one out, if you love your hardcore energetic and melodic, you will not want to miss this one.
Italian underground scene is vast and rich with great bands just waiting for you to discover them and listen to their great music. Turn Against have been existing since 2010. but I discovered them just now with their new e.p. This diy hardcore punk band from Comacchio, Italy released 5 song e.p. Three of the songs on the record are pretty long, approx seven minutes long and two are shorter. The title songs hits you in the head with slow, rolling, almost sludgy rythm evolving suddenly to faster punk energy and back again to anguished, shouted, yet melodic vocals. This is not your usual hardcore punk clicheed song structure, but complex and smart hardcore, with style and emotion. The shorter songs called Interlude A and Interlude B, serve as kinda pause between crushing songs, like a bit calm intro before another storm hits you. Giustificazioni is a mixture between epic melodic post hardcore riffs, anguish, depression and aggression at the same time, almost mathematically played drums and bass and great ending to the song. For sure, my favorite on this record. Qiueto Vivere is crushing heavy song, I really don`t understand Italian enough to know what Turn Against are singing about, but I guess the lyrics are about inner struggle and battling your own personal demons, which I can relate to. Good record!
