UK punk quartet Rats On Acid showcases the formation’s raw and emotional stance on the mental state of a victim of a real-life traumatic experience through “Like It Like That” – the band’s latest, enraged and induced with the dynamic of the classic punk atmosphere and attitude single! Outlined by musical components and elements that are required for the creation of an oldschool-influenced punk sound, including fast-paced, dynamic rhythm, despaired and frantically-delivered vocal lines and crude-centered production, “Like It Like That” accurately exposes and presents the overwhelmingly upsetting consequences of a truly personal and chilling tragedy and brings awareness to an incredibly problematic and upsetting topic that – unfortunately – becomes more and more relevant nowadays.

Presenting the concept and missive behind “Like It Like That” in an in-depth manner, Rats On Acid’s vocalist Konnie shares: “This track explores the tragedy of an underage rape victim and the emotions of the victim before and after the terrifying experience. The news was difficult for me to take in – I felt depressed and enraged by the thought that I was unable to do anything to prevent or help my friend. The lyrics are inspired by the exchange of messages between me and the friend making this a very personal song that is not only just another one of our releases, but a way to release all the negative emotions linked to this for me and anyone who has been touched by this as well.”

(REVIEW) COMPA-S/T

Compa are hardcore punk band hailing from Brooklyn, New York. This is their new release containing 6 songs of noisy, fast and ferocious hardcore punk with great lyrics covering themes of migrants, being poor, trying to survive in this wild capitalist world of slavery, fighting fascism and similar themes. The music is very dark and vocals are screaming but there is an occasional nice guitar melody behind all the harshness like in my favorite off this record called Brown. This is a short but sweet e.p., it is name your price on Bandcamp so go get this one and support your scene.

(review) SAŠA 21-VD-i2(Dirty Old)

Legendary Sale Veruda, guitar player and mastermind of legendary Croatian punk band Kud Idijoti is back with the second full length album by his new band Saša 21.

The one wrong thing, in my humble opinion is, that we all look at this band and listen to it, through the eternal prism of Sale`s former band and all of the hits they gave us prior to the untimely death of singer Tusta. Sale always remain in the shadow of bigger part of this life as songwriter and guitar player of Idijoti, so his new band is and always will be compared to his former glory days. It is not right, but I also do it. The songs on this album sound like they came out of Kud Idijoti factory, although Saša 21 plays boogie punkrock like they call it with lyrics in Croatian language. The lyrics are the problem of this album, because they are too few and too meaningless in most of the songs compared to the lyrical geniousness this man can provide. Also, the songs are too similar to one another and there are practically no punkrock anthemic choruses or guitar riffs that remain in memory long after the listening to the record. Do not get me wrong, this is quality punkrock, better played and written than many other bands in the scene, but in all, it is just average. Recommended songs: Jetra, Svi na kontejnere!, Razdvojenost.
