We already featured great French melodic punk hardcore band Bare Teeth in this webzine. I reviewed their excellent record. Now they released a new video.
Bare Teeth’s single “Tomorrow Starts Today” is taken from their latest EP named ‘First the Town, Then the World‘. “This song is more funny and deals with the same subject than “First the town, then the world”. It’s about dedication, motivation and commitment. In short, get your fingers out of your asshole (as we say in French). Chase your dreams, make them happen, be proud of yourself and be confident about what you do!” – Greg (vocals & guitar)
South America has a great hardcore punk scene, much unexplored by us Europeans and every band we discover is a little treasure. This Brasilian band comes from Guarulhos, Sao Paulo. As I understand, this is their first album and it consists of 10 tracks including intro. The music they play is melodic hardcore punk with a lot of punkrock parts put in for good measure. I loved the vocals because they are not snotty and cheesy, quite contrary, the vocals on this record are somehow harsh but the guy still manages to sing great melodic vocal lines. The lyrics are in English and they have that Southamerican political edge but also still keep a lot of personal and a lot of sadness and melancholy in it. After I listened to the record I kinda felt somehow sad. Haha they also mention Croatian country in lyrics to ” Brisbane”, they talk about moving to the island of Hvar and Dubrovnik. I dont know if the guys really visited Croatian Adriatic Sea coast but nice touch indeed. Also, one of the hightlight of this record is ” For all the mustache makers” which sounds strange when you see the title of the song but it is in fact great political song. Check the record and give these guys a chance and learn a little more about Brasilian hardcore punk scene.
We are continuing to love and admire the Italian hardcore punk scene here in this zine. 360 Flip come from Venice area, Italy and this is their first diy ep consisting of 6 excellent songs. I first noticed that this band uses a lot of samples between the songs and using them as intros which I totally love and in my opinion samples can only improve the dramatic effect of some songs if used in a right way. The songs are in English language and the music is fast paced melodic hardcore punk with lyrics cleverly balancing between political and more personal themes. They also use some saxophone on “Pixels” and great gang backing vocals on some songs reminding me of more harder hardcore bands. My favourite on this record is energetic opener “Oceans Have No Memory” which is an absolute hit on this record. This is superb ep with great music and I can hardly wait what the full album will sound like, I am sure it will be a bomb!
