(review) Zebrahead – III

Zebrahead have been around for a long time, delivering their vision of rap mixed with skate punk, pop punk and metal influenced guitar work. I was supposed to check them out live at 2020 Punk Rock Holiday but due to known reasons that didnt happen, so I hope to catch them somewhere on tour in Europe in 2022. In the meantime, they delivered new e.p. containing five songs. My personal favorite is A Long Way Down, also Homesick for Hope is superb too. Everyone who checked their last two full lengths will know what I mean when I say that they continued their path musically like those two records, meaning a mixture of punk rock, metallic guitar riffs, some rap, pop punk and above all, great songwriting. Go get this one and have a listen!

(review) AMMO-COLD SICK LIFE(WTF RECORDS)

3. WTF-034 Cover

WTF Records continues to release great records, keeping the fire of both European and worldwide hardcore burning and being strong. This time it is time for Ammo to grace the pages of this zine. Ammo are from M-Town and this is their debut full length out now. This band plays rapcore and if I must compare it to some bands it would be Biohazard, Downset, Bodycount….meaning metalized hardcore guitar riffs, grooves, aggresive street punk influenced song parts and dual rapping vocals adding to the heaviness and streetwise smartness and toughness. This is a music for going out, drink some beers with your crew and smell the streets of your town and having a nice night in the concrete jungle of your town or city. For me personal favorite is About Time having nice and catchy guitar melody in the background of the song and acoustic ending, but also the title track featuring guest vocals of German ghetto metal rapper Daniel Gun is awesome too. Daniel also provides guest vocals for Pork Chops. I am usually not an avid fan of this kind of hardcore, but this one is a powerful debut record. Go get it!
