Great news coming from great label Thousand Islands Records! Legendary melodic punk band Ten Foot Pole signed to their roster. The band has recently finished recording the new record, it is their first since 2004. Stay tuned for more information soon!
Home Conflict are young punkrock band from Zagreb, Croatia. I listened and reviewed for our zine their debut album that came out couple of days ago.
Formed in 2016.this relatively young punkrock band was focused on creating their own material since they started. They played couple of greater festivals in the country, polished the material, made two videos and now, time has come for the full album.
The record contains 12 songs of melodic, straightforward punkrock. What I love about their music is that the songs are simple, it seems to me that melodic punkrock somehow lost its touch for the last couple of years, all being technical Propagandhi clones and similar bands. But, there are couple of bands that still play that old school no complication, no bullshit punkrock, this one is one of such bands. They are also not third rate copy of Californian bands, but rather sound like early to mid nineties Running Party, Overflow and similar bands. Having violin in some songs like Pact With The Devil, which is awesome, reminded me of another band from Zagreb, Lobotomija. The lyrics are in English language and mainly deal with personal themes. Everyone knows that I very much care about the vocals in such bands, and the vocals here are done superb, they are neither too snotty and mellow, neither to harsh, they are just right and the guy is really special with his voice adding somehow to overall melancholy mixed with energy which I feel while listening to this record. Croatian punk/hardcore scene is better than ever in the last 25 year that I am a part of it, and Home Conflict is for sure a force to be counted in the scene. Favorite songs: Pact With The Devil, Purgatory, Letter To The God.

Wow! The new Trophy Jump record is here out with Horn & Hoof Records. I listened to it and reviewed it for our zine.
Trophy Jump are melodic punk band from Zagreb, Croatia with members also being active in Jeboton collective with various musical projects. Also, Trophy Jump are one of the most hard working bands in the Croatian punk scene, constantly playing tours and gigs all over Europe. This new record contains 5 songs. What I love about this band is that they don´t complicate matters with too much technicality, simply play the 90-ies styled pure punkrock with a lot of melody, heartfelt lyrics, sometimes funny, sometimes serious and great choruses. I love all the songs on this record but Chicago Kid and Remete Hills are my favorites. I have never heard these guys and seen them play live, I am sure their songs are awesome in live version. Great record! Support your local scene!
