Još jedno izdanje sa zagrebačke underground scene se priključilo moru odličnih izdanja na hrvatskoj underground sceni ove godine. Riječ je o rock n roll trojcu Vipera koji su izdali svoj novi EP koji se sastoji od tri stvari plus jedna obrada od Amebix. Produkcija je odlična i odaje svu sirovu snagu ovakvog Motorheadovskog rock n rolla s primjesama punk hardcorea i crusta. Tekstovi su na engleskom i sa stvarima poput Dust And Rust, Underworld i Conspiracy ne možeš pogriješiti, a tu je i Amebixova Right To Ride. Produkcija je odlična, snimljeno je u Mediki u Zagrebu, a miksao je i masterirao Filip Sertić. Ovakva mjuza ima sve, ima energiju, ima melodiju i sirov vokal koji savršeno prati glavne gitarske melodije i ujedno posjeduje žestinu u glasu. Moram priznati da nisam još čekirao Viperu uživo, ali volio bih uskoro čekirati, jer su sigurno odlični uživo. Ako bih morao usporediti s nekim bendom, to bi bio još jedan odličan bend sa hrvatske scene, pulski Liquid Supercharge. Dakle, poslušaj Viperu ako voliš prljavi rock s primjesama hardcore punka i crusta.
The Moans are hailing from California and this is their new second album and first release in six years. As you guessed it maybe from the cover and logo, this is horror punk, but much more influenced with punk n roll and punk, almost garage punk in some songs. There are 14 songs on this beauty. Vocals are nice, melodic and strong at the same time and this is not your Misfits or Blitzkid clone, this is varied and good album with lots of different hits like my favorite They’re Coming To Get You Barbara and doo wop influenced Then She Stabbed Me. Songs are mainly up tempo punk rock, with some Ramones core influences too, like in Hey Jamie Lee which reminded me of The Lillingtons a lot in many ways, vocally and musically. Songs I must also mention as my favorites are The Zodiac and also Nightmare Man. Welcome back, this is an awesome horror punk album.
The Dick Dastardly´s are punk n roll band from Italy, recently released their new record with Slack Records and I listened and reviewed their record for our zine.
I am usually not to keen when hearing and listening punk n roll bands, or garage punk bands, because most of them are too boring rock n roll and too few punk in their music to keep me interested, but there are exceptions from that rule, like this band. This album features 10 songs of awesome high energy, octane fueled pumped dirty punkrock with speed, ferocity and arrogance. I love it! This songs make you wanna go out and drink till you drop, then drink some more and listen to great punk. The songs Hard Drugs, Fucked Up Ronnie and Nuclear Korean Girl are for sure my highlights from this record. If I must compare this band to some other, it would be Dwarves but these guys are a bit less melodic than the current Dwarves. So, if you are a fan of fast paced, raw but energetic and melodic punk, check these guys out! Good one!
