WTF Records never cease to amaze with quality new releases and delivering awesome mainly European hardcore punk bands to the attention of the new fans worldwide. This time, Superhero Status are in order with their brand new e.p.
I must admit that I haven`t listened to great old school hardcore for a long time and I am really happy that this record came into my hands. This is just it. Old school positive hardcore like we knew and loved when we were kids growing up with anthemic touch, melody and energy flying all over. There are four songs on this record, one being awesome cover of Iron Maiden-Wasted Years. For me, my personal favorites are True To Our Believes and Miles And Changes, also Never Left with that old school begin of the song that made goosebumps on my skin like a time machine taking me back to the times when I was a kid and reminding me why I love hardcore so much still after all these years. This is a fantastic e.p., I really want to listen to the full length soon.
Bullseye from Hannover, Germany released their new third record with Dedication Records and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.
After some line-up changes the guys released this record to celebrate the diy hardcore punk spirit and keeping the flame alive in the scene. The music of Bullseye is old school hardcore, European school, like it was played in the 90-ies by Ryker´s, Brightside, Right Direction and similar bands. The record contains 12 songs with the lyrical themes being mainly political, against racism, religion, but there are also some personal themes like dealing with death of a loved one, also ecology and against police brutality. The music is pretty brutal, but there are more punk elements in the song structures than metal, so the band stands firmly tied to their punk roots and add a lot of streetpunk elements in the riffs and guitar hooks. For me, the best songs on this record are Rest In Peace, Keep Me Alive and the title track. Good hardcore record for all of you who love your hardcore old school way.
The Oldschool Hc Band Bullseye from Hannover/Germany will release their new record “Until We Die” on March 1st via Dedication Records. As a first taste you can listen to the Song “Police Brutality” exclusive via Away From Life Magazine.
