I always loved street core, since I was a little hardcore kid growing up, with all those great hardcore bands coming out leaning more on street punk than on metal in their hardcore cookbooks hehe. This is one of such bands. No Restraints are based in Vercelli, north west Italy and they are relatively new band in the scene with this full length album and it contains 12 songs of excellent street hardcore punk based and leaning heavily on OI/street punk and I am amazed that every song on this record is basically an anthem that makes you full with hardcore energy and strength, makes you sing along and listen to it over and over again. Songs such as Streetcore Worldwide, The Flame Still Burns or They Will Never Get Us are sure to become instant classics. Musically this band reminds me of best Agnostic Front, Warzone, Discipline works but they remain also fresh and ready for this new century and decade. Vocals are angry, more of hardcore shouted but fit perfectly to the music and there are plenty of backing and gang vocals to sing along. Lyrics deal with surviving, battling your enemy, loving your friends, unity and all hardcore themes I still love so much. I enjoy every single minute of this record. Excellent!
Mexico´s Acidez are back with a new blasting record. For those who don´t know, Acidez play hardcore punk that is fast, angry and furious to all of the poverty, injustice and believes in freedom and do what you want attitude, real punk as fuck band. The music is basically hardcore punk but there are much more thrash metal influences and d beat than for example in Exploited or The Casualties´ songs. There are 13 songs on this one with first one being kinda instrumental intro to all the mayhem and carnage that follows. Spanish language in some songs only adds to the energy, anger and make you wanna pump your fist in the air and go battle all of the governments and plagues that trouble this lovely planet. Musicianship is impressive, so is production of this record, in my personal opinion this is the best Acidez record yet. My personal favorites: Hasta La Muerte, In Punk We Thrash, Nightmare, El Punk Salvo Mi Vida.
Confessions of a Traitor join the Facedown Family to release their new album “Punishing Myself Before God Does” on September 16. Mixed and Mastered by Andrew Wade (Wage War, ADTR), “Punishing Myself…” is an enormous and dynamic anthem-filled full length album.
Confessions Of A Traitor offer raw emotion through the medium of an energized and confronting sound.
Honest and passionate, the band wears their hearts on their sleeves. COAT shares this through emotive lyrics that venture to some of the darkest places the band have endured.
“We want to provide an escape for people, to embrace their belief when all else is lost.
