The words of Krod Records: For our 5th Anniversary, we will release a tape compilation with 9 covers from our artists which covered our artists. The benefits will be donated to Solidarity Not Silence, a action we care a lot.
This tape will be on a 100 limited edition on a turquoise color. A series of interviews are available on Ear Nutrition to explain why we are doing it and from all the artists + Krod.
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!
Wow! That´s what I like about fastcore. Otage are French hardcore punk band and they released their e.p. and lovely diy label Gargouille Asso. The e.p. contains 5 songs. The music is just what these desperate times lack, meaning pissed off hardcore punk with raw screaming, fast tempo changes from fast pogo slam style to some moshing parts like in my favorite Brasiers. The lyrics are in French but judging by little that I understand they are pissed off and political in a way, so I like that. I can only imagine how much energy this band delivers while playing live. It must be total fantastic hardcore energy bomb. Great hardcore punk for your listening pleasure indeed!
