Short Fuse are hardcore band based in Rome, Italy and they just released their new first full length album through Indelirium Records.
As I like to say, this hardcore band lives between two worlds. You will probably wonder how and why? Well, the guys picked up in their music the best from both worlds. First one is old school hardcore world with hardcore from the 90-ies leaning more towards punkrock roots influenced songwriting, streetpunk smart attitude and riffs. The second world is modern urban hardcore with breakdowns, metalic sounding hooks and screamed and shouted vocals topped with gang singalong backing vocals. There are 8 songs on this album, one of them having guest performance by Josh from Tempest. The lyrics are in English and as I read them while listening they are mostly personal about love, loss, life and friendship, also inner demons of the psyche. This is energetic and good hardcore record. Support the hardcore scene worldwide and get and try this album.
Closed Speech are haling from Italy, city of Rome and I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine.
Italy has one of the best punkrock hardcore scenes in Europe and I am always glad to discover new bands. Closed Speech play melodic punkrock with hardcore influences and their new record contains intro plus 14 songs. Their music leans more on hardcore roots with a nod of respect to the historical value of Italian and Roma hardcore, but also sounding fresh and strong for the 21st century. The lyrics are mostly personal, but I also noticed some political and humour issues between the lines, and these guys have their hearts and minds in the right places. The musicianship is tight, and the vocals are beautiful, spiteful and punk sounding but melodic, backing vocals also nicely done. The songs that are the best in my opinion: Same Blood(check out the video guys made for this song), Write This Song, No Words No Name.
Italian skate punk band Thousand Oakswas formed upon the ashes of their former band Jet Market. Now, they covered the main musical theme of the megapopular tv series Game Of Thrones. You can hear it here, but dont forget that they also have their awesome songs, so if you are into skate melodic punk check them out you wont regret it!
