We’re very excited to welcome NEXØ to the TNSrecords family. Their second album ‘False Flag’ is available to pre-order now on both white and black vinyl, arriving in a nice gatefold sleeve. If you’re heading to MPF make sure you catch they playing on Friday in Zombie Shack at 15:10.
NEXØ are a highly energetic punk band from Copenhagen, Denmark. The four-piece unite the frantic drive of hardcore punk with heavy yet playful soundscapes, mirroring a world undergoing rapid and brutal change. The music is a raw fist of noise but always with a keen sense of melody. NEXØ is sheer urgency and bottled up energy – something is at stake. Balancing on the edge of the stage, close to exploding, they bare their souls while keeping their footing, creating an experience that keeps resonating under the skin. The music has a clear and strong message delivered with frantic joy and teeth-clenching presence. It’s a goddamn cliché, but a show with NEXØ is blood, sweat and tears blasted through an amplifier.
Through the crash of a cymbal, a driving bass line and a wall of feedback, Manchester hardcore punks Incisions emerge stronger than ever with their new single ‘Gasoline’ released on April 5th via TNSrecords.
Following 2021’s ‘BLISS’ LP, ‘Gasoline’ presents a slower Incisions than heard on previous releases but retains the bite and belligerence that has endeared them to fans across the global DIY punk community. Lyrically, the song tackles a system designed to work us to dust and, as fans have come to expect from Incisions, the message is delivered with aggression and precision.
Drawing from such a wide array of influences was never likely to result in Incisions staying in one lane, and ‘Gasoline’ is testament to the bands willingness to switch up their style. ‘Modern life is never fun’ may be a pessimistic assessment of the current state of the world, but regardless of your disposition, more new music from Incisions is a welcome move in the right direction.
Bio
Manchester birthed Incisions in 2015 and they’ve been honing the sound since. This is what being young, working class punk in the North of England sounds like. They’ve combined love, lust, liquor and rage, dragging 80s American hardcore through the streets of Manchester.
Incisions are now heading into 2022 with a fresh take on their now established sound and an infamous reputation for their rowdy gigs. Since releasing their debut LP through TNS at the end of 2018, Incisions have played alongside some of the biggest names in Punk (Poison Idea, D.O.A, Adolescents, Drug Church, D.I to name a few) with some well received festival appearances and sold out headline gigs along the way.
Having released their second LP ‘BLISS’ – a nihilistic and brutal assault – 2022 is set to be another busy year for the pride of Manchester. With Jordan now dropping the guitar/vocalist role everyone in the band is now able to focus on their respective duties. As a result, expect the latest incarnation of Incisions to be heavier, angrier, faster, sexier and much more lucrative for the already high-earning band than ever before.
Upcoming gigs:
April 17th – Manchester Punk Festival w/ A Wilhelm Scream & more
We have already written about the Welsh trio Pizzatramp on the pages of this zine. Now, their second album comes out in April via TNSrecords and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.
Formed in 2014.this band is an epitome of DIY hardcore punk scene, playing superb gigs, delivering killer songs and delighting the hearts, ears and minds of punx, hardcore kids and skaters out there throughout the world. This new album contains 15 songs of ultraenergetic fast thrash skatepunk hardcore with fast drumming, vocals screamed at the top of the lungs, some groovy moshing parts and full speed ahead drive hehe. Lyrically Pizzatramp cover various themes, from fun and humour everyday to more serious topics about faults in everyday society that surrounds us. I love Millions Of Dead Goths, Theres Been A Murder and Stop Being A Racist Cunt as my highlights of the album. This is high energy hardcore, so get it and dance.
