(record review)VARIOUS-“The quarter hour of power compilation”

This is an excellent 7 inch record compilation featuring 14 bands from St Louis area all delivering songs one minute long or less. I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

The record contains some new, some older bands all delivering previously unreleased tracks. As it usually is, some bands are better, some are not so good, depends on the personal musical taste. I personally liked the more melodic bands on this record like Horror Section, Sink the Bismark and Braddock. There is something really for everyone, from the more brutal hardcore punk of Hell Night, the new band featuring Brian Fair of Shadows Fall on the vocals or the debut of hardcore Chalked Up. I really love how this record sounds and gives us insight to the great and less known hardcore punk scene, not usually mentioned in many zines, blogs and stuff… Get this record if you can!

(record review)SLAPSHOT-“Make America Hate Again”(Bridge Nine Records)

The Boston hardcore legends, Slapshot just released their new record via mighty Bridge Nine Records and I was eager to get my hands on this one and review it for this webzine.

2018 - Make America Hate Again

I have been listening to Choke and company since I was a little hardcore kid, but believe it or not, I have seen them live at the gig just last year. I was blown away with the energy of their so called hate hardcore. This lineup is awesome and in my opinion one of the best lineups Slapshot ever had. This album contains 11 tracks of old school hardcore punk and the music is classic Slapshot for the 21st century. Musically it is fast and angry hardcore like we used to through the years and lyrically Choke again deals with his demons hehe. There are couple of surprises on the record like some guitar solos that worked awesome like in “Alone” which is in my personal opinion the best song on this record. Couple of other songs that are outstanding on this record are “I Got Your Number” and “One Last Chance”. This year has been kind to us so far with so many releases by so many excellent bands with awesome records and this one is for sure on of the candidates for the hardcore album of the year. I am not one of the guys who put their lists and polls at the end of each year, but I am sure that this album will be on many favorite lists.
