(record review)THE CASUALTIES-Written In Blood

The Casualties have a new record out and I listened and reviewed it for our zine. Read on and check it out if you love hardcore punk!

folder

These long time running American hardcore/streetpunk legends had really hectic last couple of years. Besides relentless touring making them one of most hard working bands in the scene, they suffered line up loss when their singer Jorge decided to quit the band. Enter the new vocalist David Rodriguez and this is the first record with brand new material and new vocalist. The record contains 15 songs of energetic hardcore punk/streetpunk with harsh vocals, fast paced songs and gang singalong anthemic choruses. The fans of the band will get what they are used to, because the material is similar to the old stuff, only the singer is more understandable what is he singing about, because he sings harsh, but you can hear the words in the vocal lines. There are couple of songs on the record that are excellent like Lost, Ashes Of My Enemies and Written In Blood. Also, check out the new video for 1312, the song is okay, but there are couple of way better songs on the album. Good one.

(record review)UKRATKO ŠTEF-Album

Serbia has excellent underground punk hardcore scene and Ukratko Štef(eng.Briefly Steve) is one of the bands that recently released their new studio record. I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

This band plays an energetic hardcore punk with much streetpunk influences in the song structures and also some ska parts. The songs are mainly fast paced and just made for pogo and slamming at the live gigs. The record contains 14 songs two of them being Bouncing Souls and Specials/Snuff covers. All of the lyrics are in Serbian language and they cover the usual themes that such bands cover being love disappointments, friendship and the loss of friendship, some politics anti imperialist and anti multinationals themes and similar. I love the choruses and the atmosphere this band provides in the songs. The songs are real street hardcore punk anthems and I am just a sucker for such songs and just love the bands that play such music. I would love to see this band play live because I am sure that this material sounds even better and more awesome live. Top songs for me are Moj Grad(eng.My City) and Sećanje(eng.Rememberance).
