This is an interesting band. Krav Boca are French-Greek-Moroccan group made of 8 people, meaning 3 singers, 1 performer and 4 musicians. These guys did more than 300 concerts diy touring Europe and are releasing their brand new record. This one contains intro plus eight songs. After pretty harsh and almost metalised intro, Souterrain shows the street side of the band, with music being combination of punk, metal, rap and folk elements meaning mandoline incorporated cleverly in the song arrangements. The lyrics are in French, since I don´t speak that one, I can´t really understand what is being sung about, but it sounds great nonetheless. Three vocals fulfill themselves perfectly creating and bursting with energy. I expected some ethno folk punkrock, but I got hardcore rap with metal and punk elements, not unlike Moscow Death Brigade. The songs that I recommend as highlights of this album are Crust Riot, Gas Mask and the title song. Check this one, it is interesting.

Solidarity Not Silence is a group of women (mostly feminist musicians) who are fighting a claim of defamation made against them by a famous musician. You might not know but justice is a real big costs in the UK and if you can’t afford, you’ll lose. Those women refused to be silenced and decided to fight! This is one case among so many. They need to win this case to win another, and another and another. If they reach enough, they can have a proper legal representation and a strong chance to win the case.
Today, we support Solidarity Not Silence through a 9 cover tracks compilation. All the benefits from tape sales, streaming and downloads will be donated to them. To know more about the case, please read this article.
Thanks to all the artists who participated (by order of appearance in the compilation):
We continue to promote our local scene a bit, so here is the new album by our punkrock heroes from Zagreb, Mašinko. I followed this band since they were only let us call them one hit wonder, but they evolved into one of the biggest names in punkrock scene here in Croatia, with three guitars, all of the members except drummer singing wonderful harmonies on vocals and having fantastic song arrangements delivering melodic punkrock just made to smile and cry and sing along with. This new album contains 12 songs. Veća lopata and Punim plućima were singles before, also Cmrok 2, so I listened to that songs before, for me somehow being not the same quality and hits as last full length and that split with Fat Prezident. But rest of the material on this album is what makes it great. Songs like Jedne davne jeseni or Tu smo gdje smo are pure punkrock poetry from the street and I love those two making it my favorites on this record. The lyrics are in Croatia as you might have guessed but no matter, you can relate to them in anyway possible. Also, two songs that I must mention are Izgubljenom vremenu, Perice and Vrijeme za spavanje being for me standouts on this record. Great record by great band!
