After already persenting some amazing movies and documentaries on the platforms with ‘RocKabul’ or ‘Soaring Highs And Brutal Lows’, THE PIT (aka the first ever SVOD platform dedicated to the ROCK & METAL universe), unveiled a new astonishing content with ‘A Punk Daydream’, available right now on the platform.
This documentary is a portrait of the largest Muslim Punk community in the world, as seen through the eyes of Punk teenagers, in relation to the extreme social, environmental and political environment they live in.
Punk is not dead in Indonesia. There is more at stake than ever. The young street punks in this film are shunned by society and risk incarceration for their appearance. With the Dayak people as their example, they fight for their homeland and against corruption and hypocrisy
Slovenian hardcore heavyweights Reach A.D. are in no way strangers to this zine. They were formerly known as Reach and they delivered couple of fine hardcore releases and energetic gigs, especially here hailing from Pomurje region of Slovenia. Well, after couple of line-up changes they decided that a new era is upon us and changed name to Reach A.D. and continued soldiering on with this new e.p. This one features four songs and music of Reach A.D. leans more into metallic side of hardcore at the same time never forgetting their streetcore roots. If I must compare it to some bands, it would be Earth Crisis nineties era and also all those Belgian H8000 nineties hardcore bands. That means aggressive but not necessary fast songs, angry vocals, great gang backing vocals, guitar work which is awesome and nicely done lyrics about fighting your inner demons, hypocrisy in the scene, quasi toughness and fakes, ignorance and hatred and all other merry themes. I personally think that this e.p. is by far the best release Reach has ever done and if this is a indicator how new era of this band will sound like, I am damn looking forward to it!
