(review) Axe Collector – Axe Collector (Human Future Records)

This one is out now for couple of months, but it doesn’t matter if the music is good and I want to present this one to the readers of my zine. Axe Collector are coming from San Diego, California and they are playing hardcore punk/powerviolence. There are nine songs on this beauty. Only one song is two minutes long, all the others are under. If you are familiar with powerviolence you’ll know what that means, fast drumming, blast beats, screaming and guttural vocals and raw guitar work. I can also hear some d-beat influences thrown in here and there, but maybe it’s only me. Lyrics are mostly personal with some of them being a bit social themes and you can read that between a few lines. I love such bands that play this kind of music but I can’t listen to them the whole day long, so this one is nice break from other music styles to check out. They kinda remind me of old now defunct Croatian band called Senata Fox, and they were awesome, so I also think that about this album. If you like powerviolence and hardcore punk, raw, fast and aggressive, go check out this beauty. Nice little record, indeed!

(review) Drug Abuse – ‘No Thrashing In The House’ (Floral Boys)

In last couple of weeks I like to listen to fast bands and here is one of them. Drug Abuse have a new release out and it contains nine songs of sheer speed and brutality. We are talking mixture of raw powerviolence, even grindcore with hardcore punk and some electronic samples thrown in for good measure all sounding raw and dirty with screaming vocals. Songs are short but titles like title song, ‘Ham Sandwich’, or ‘Kissing On Tv’ are sure to win you over. If you like your hardcore punk fast, screaming and short, this is the right one for you.

(review) INSTILL – ‘Demo’ (AMBUSH! Records)

INSTILL released this new demo with five songs and it is a blast! I mean really, a lessson in fastcore, hardcore punk powerviolence with all songs being under a minute reminding me of Senata Fox and similar bands. Screaming vocals, blasting drums, distorted bass and thundering sound, this one has it all. There is not much to write about this one, because it is such a short one, but if you are a fan of powerviolence hardcore punk you won’t regret if you check out this demo.
