(review) A Wilhelm Scream – Use Your Delusion

Leave a comment

Finally, long awaited new album is here. A Wilhelm Scream is a band that I got to know only six years ago, at Punk Rock Holiday festival in Slovenia where I witnessed their high energy fantastic set and immediately fell in love with the band. A Wilhelm Scream play basically fast and melodic hardcore punk but mixed with technical skate punk and executed with might and precision of well oiled machine. These 11 new songs offer that and so much more. With trade mark voice that is rough but melodic, lightning fast guitars, thundering drums and bass and above all, well written songs that are anthems for singing along and dancing, moshing and stage diving at shows, this is for sure one of the candidates for the melodic hardcore punk record of the year. My personal favorites: The Enigma, Figure Eights In My Head, Be One To No One, but I find new favorites upon every listening, so go check this one out.

Leave a comment

Following the Opias EP featuring singles Death On Replay, White Jesus & All We Know, La Armada are back with a brand new single accompanied by a music video and a date for the release of their album ‘Anti Colonial Vol 2’.

Hardcore punk meets Carribbean roots in ‘Checkmate Humanity’. Raging guitars, tribal drumming and thumping bass collide for a fierce, genre-defying sound reminiscent of Bad Brains and Rage Against the Machine.
The song asks ‘who or what conquers me?’; Encouraging awareness of the things we consume.

La Armada captured the personal and global tribulations of 2020 in three separate stints at Chicago’s Electrical Audio Studios. The sessions resulted in Anti-Colonial Vol. 2 – An 11 song album that looks to leave their distinct mark on heavy music.
Preorders are available from Nov 16 here: https://www.lockjawrecords.co.uk/la-armada-anti-colonial-vol-2/

Fair Do’s release new single ‘Consolation’

Leave a comment

Fair Do’s return, gathering momentum with this melodic sing along shred punk anthem, to mark their third single this year!

“When the apocalypse comes, and it will, we can all take consolation in the fact that every greedy, lying scumbag that has led us there will die a gruesome painful death.” – Fair Do’s

‘Consolation’ is Fair Do’s third single this year, released with the support of Thousand Islands Records (North America) and Lockjaw Records (UK/EU).

The band’s new music reflects the frustration and hopelessness of the working-class left-wing in the past five years, existing in the time of Boris, Brexit and COVID-19. Fair Do’s have been writing and recording in isolation, during the bleak winter lockdowns, creating an improved, heavier, tighter sound out of a disquieting experience.

Consolation is available on digital streaming platforms.
