(review) Leo Donat – ‘Acoustic EP’

Leo Donat je inače poznatiji kao gitarist/vokal melodic hardcore punk benda Me As Well iz Karlovca, a sada je izdao svoj solo acoustic EP. Na ovome malom čarobnom izdanju nalaze se pet pjesama, četiri na engleskom i jedna na hrvatskom jeziku. Ne znam kako će vas, no mene je ovo izdanje jako podsjetilo na akustične albume nikada prežaljenog pokojnog Tony Slya iz No Use For A Name, dakle emocionalni melodični akustični punk rock prve klase, od nekih stvari mi se naprosto naježila koža koliko su dobre, glazbeno i tekstualno, kao na primjer odlična ‘Long Time Coming’ koju sam vrtio ponovo i ponovo, kao i genijalne ‘Dear Friend’, te ‘Nisam Tu’. Ove pjesme mogu zamisliti i u Me As Well verzijama s dualnim Leovim i Majinim vokalima i ziher sam da i u toj inačici bi zvučale fenomenalno, ali ovako je odlično. Atmosfera, melodija, emocija. Zakon malo DIY izdanje, na ‘Name Your Price’ je, ali ako već skidate pošaljite rečenicu ili dvije Leu da vam se sviđa, siguran sam da će to cijeniti.

(new single/video) Fearout releases fast-paced metal punk song with heavy lyrics!

Helsinki-based Fearout releases new ’Resistenza’ EP as a follow up for their Bleedthrough (Inverse 2021) debut album. ‘Resistenza’ is released on May 5th 2023 by Inverse Records. New EP will expand band’s repertoire to punk rock, but band still combines their rough-edged metal rock with stoner influences. The second single ‘The End of the World’ is a breathtakingly fast-paced metal punk song with heavy lyrics about the state of the world. 

LISTEN The End of the World single: https://push.fm/fl/fearout-the-end 

This one is written after the war had started in spring 2022 and the theme and atmosphere is pretty grim. The song lists atrocities done by humans in 20th century. And since we refuse to learn anything from the past, we keep on repeating until we actually will cause the end of the world. This is probably the fastest song we’ve ever written, says lead vocalist Justus.

(new single/video) Manchester hardcore punks Throwing Stuff have released a new single ‘I Hate This Place’!

Manchester hardcore punks Throwing Stuff have released a new single I Hate This Place ahead of a rare appearance at Manchester Punk Festival on 8 April.

‘I Hate This Place’ is their first release in two years! The single sees Throwing Stuff return to their trademark brand of incendiary hardcore and lyrical piss and vinegar. Capturing the essence of their explosive live shows.

The two-minute track sees Throwing Stuff channel their fury at the racists their vocalist finds himself face-to-face with where he lives and works in south-east Asia.

“The irony isn’t lost on me that I have personally encountered more white, small-minded bigots halfway around the world in Myanmar than I ever have in the UK. There is enough Islamophobia within Myanmar popular discourse without Britain exporting its finest arseholes to teach in the country’s schools,” he said.

I Hate This Place is the first of three singles coming out in 2023, with the subsequent releases staggered over May and June.

‘I Hate This Place’ is streaming everywhere now – https://linktr.ee/throwingstuff
