(review) CC-Prisoner Of State

After the great debut ep, CC are back with their debut full length album. I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

I saw this band from Zagreb, Croatia, play live as a support to Slapshot in Slovenia this past winter and I can safely say that they are one of the most energetic hardcore punk bands that I listened on Croatian scene in the last ten years or so. This line-up is musically so tight and so awesome that I literally get goosebumps while listening. The album has 8 songs, some are in Croatian language, some in English. The lyrics are about being a modern slave, about releasing your chains, how to stay alive and maybe normal in this world and similar. Fast paced thrash hardcore punk with angry vocals, great backing vocals, some catchy guitar riffs and above all greatly written songs. It all reminds me of the legacy of  fine 90-ies bands from Zagreb like Verbalni Delikt, Radikalna promjena, DHB, Optička varka and similar jewels of the scene back in the days, only better. Filip and Studio Depth really done a great job again and the sound of this album is fantastic! I recommend it and also recommend you to check out this band live! Top songs for me:Prisoner Of State, Liar, Tvoj Stav, Tvoja Metoda.

(record review) SUB DIO-Sub Dio (Underground Communique Records / Side With Us Records

Sub Dio released their same titled e.p. and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

The San Francisco hardcore punk band is made of Brian Moss(vox/guitar) from Great Apes, The Ghost, Olehole and Hanalei with Shane Hendry(Reunions) on drums, Ryan Marshall( Great Apes) on bass, Rob Carter(Great Apes) on guitar and Danica Von Hartwig on lead vocals.

There are five songs on this e.p. The music of Sub Dio is hardcore punk with some bizarre song structures here and there. Besides fast hardcore punk songs like Takies or Skeeters, there is a bit bizarre slower song Credible Fear which adds to the variety and greatness of this band. Danica´s shrieky yet melodic vocals are superbly interwined with Brian´s shouted, yet also melodic voice creating one unusual yet interesting whole. This is old school hardcore punk with middle finger pointed high in the air and facing all the polished and clean shitty stuff that passes for hardcore nowadays. I recommend this one if you want to scratch the underground and find another jewel in the crown of our scene.
