French punks The Dead Krazukies announce re-issue of their debut ‘The Northern Belle’

The original first album of highly celebrated skate punk newcomers The Dead Krazukies is back and first time on vinyl! The self-produced album “Northern Belle” named after the shipwreck, is being pressed on coloured vinyl for the first time since their last album “Icarus” has been sold out very quickly!

Since 2010, The Dead Krazukies have embodied punk rock with a Basque-Landaise sauce. Originally from Hossegor (our substitute LA among the southerners), the group brings out a concentrate of efficiency and energy.

Think Pennywise, Rise Against all sprinkled with a dollop of Anti-Flag and you’ve got The Dead Krazukies! Captivating and effective melodic punk, carried by a percussive female voice…

In 2016, their first self-produced album, «The Northern Belle» was a great success and directly established the group in the European skatepunk scene. After a lot of concerts and festivals, they end up in 2019 at Punk in
Drublic and open for Bad Religion and NOFX on the French date of the event. Recovered since the release in 2020 of their last little offspring «Icarus», it’s still tube to the excavator that is poured into our eardrums: 12 catchy and powerful tracks, mixed and mastered by Christian Carvin.

The group signs on SoundSpeed Records (USA), SBAM Records (Europe) and Punk&Disorderly (Canada) for the release of Icarus which finds itself sold-out very quickly.

(review) CF98-Dead Inside e.p.

CF98 are from Poland and they are no strangers to this zine. We did an interview with them a while ago, also reviewed their last e.p. Rotten To The Core.

Now, they are back with six new songs for the latest e.p. called Dead Inside. What immediately falls on your ears is excellent title song with nice lyrics and fantastic chorus. For those who don`t know, CF98 are playing melodic hardcore punk, very energetic, I recommend to see them play live, with singer Karolina doing perfect job as the band˙s forefront member on stage. The vocals and backing vocal harmonies are great and the songs vary from very short one,  burst of speed and energy called Shine On, to fantastic songs like Oh Boy and Never Quit when it hits me that these guys are in the scene for 14 years now and going stronger than ever. Lyrics are personal, but they have a message and meaning especially Pink being my absolute favorite on this record. Excellent hardcore, melodic and energetic, done with heart and from the heart.
