La Armada release new single & album preorders!

Following the Opias EP featuring singles Death On ReplayWhite Jesus & All We Know, La Armada are back with a brand new single accompanied by a music video and a date for the release of their album ‘Anti Colonial Vol 2’.

Hardcore punk meets Carribbean roots in ‘Checkmate Humanity’. Raging guitars, tribal drumming and thumping bass collide for a fierce, genre-defying sound reminiscent of Bad Brains and Rage Against the Machine.
The song asks ‘who or what conquers me?’; Encouraging awareness of the things we consume.

La Armada captured the personal and global tribulations of 2020 in three separate stints at Chicago’s Electrical Audio Studios. The sessions resulted in Anti-Colonial Vol. 2 – An 11 song album that looks to leave their distinct mark on heavy music.
Preorders are available from Nov 16 here: https://www.lockjawrecords.co.uk/la-armada-anti-colonial-vol-2/

Fair Do’s release new single ‘Consolation’

Fair Do’s return, gathering momentum with this melodic sing along shred punk anthem, to mark their third single this year!

“When the apocalypse comes, and it will, we can all take consolation in the fact that every greedy, lying scumbag that has led us there will die a gruesome painful death.” – Fair Do’s

‘Consolation’ is Fair Do’s third single this year, released with the support of Thousand Islands Records (North America) and Lockjaw Records (UK/EU).

The band’s new music reflects the frustration and hopelessness of the working-class left-wing in the past five years, existing in the time of Boris, Brexit and COVID-19. Fair Do’s have been writing and recording in isolation, during the bleak winter lockdowns, creating an improved, heavier, tighter sound out of a disquieting experience.

Consolation is available on digital streaming platforms.

(review) Venerea – The Shit Hits The Fans

There was a time in the nineties when we thought that Swedes have melodic punk as class in school with so many bands coming from that country. Venerea are veterans of melodic skatepunk/hardcore and they recently released their new full length. Yes, you guessed it, the Swedes play melodic skatepunk hardcore with superb vocal lines, fantastic harmonies and anthemic songwriting, not unlike Satanic Surfers, if I must compare them to some band. Songs like Rise With The Tide, No Rules But My Rules, Living It For The Moment are sure to win you over with awesome musicianship and songs that just make you wanna listen to them over and over again. This is for sure one of the best releases in this genre to come out this year.
