The Obnoxious are old school hardcore punk band from Holland, and they have been pounding their music since 1989 so hats off to the guys in the band for persisting so long in the scene.
This is their new cd out with awesome WTF Records. What I love about the music of this band is that this sounds old school, has that old spirit somewhere between the riffs, fast drumming, gang back vocals, angry singer and leans more on streetpunk influences than on modern metal bands that consider themselves as hardcore. Of course there are some 90ies NYHC influences in some songs, I love it, because it is the music and kind of hardcore with which I have grown up as a hardcore kid back in the nineties since 1992. This cd contains three studio songs and six bonus songs recorded live. The band currently works on new material after some line-up changes. Grab this one, old school baby!
WTF Records is more than proud to have signed the legendary TOXIC YOUTH from Milano, Italy.
Get ready to board Toxic Airlines for a flight filled with energizing songs about life, music, blood, sweat, tears, love, brotherhood and fun! All served with rolling basslines, guitar hooks, tight drums and vocals that make you want to sing a long, think, scream it out loud and drink a beer with old and new friends!!
Originally formed in 1990, TOXIC YOUTH dominated the mid to late 90s with their uncompromising hardcore sounds. A rough and ready four-piece of Christian, Max, Ale, and Novo, the band first broke ground in ’93 when they released their first demo ‘TOXIC YOUTH’ on cassette (1993). With eight tracks of fierce hardcore sounds and visceral thrash influences into the public consciousness. It was the spark that would set fire to the underground scene. Soon after the release, the band were carving their own path through the Italian music scene, earning their stripes and gaining recognition for their intense and uncompromising live shows. After touring and supporting bands such as RKL, DOA, Beastie Boys, Franky Hi-Nrg, the band went into the studio and recorded their debut album ‘Real Attitudes… Not Words!’ released on CD (1996). A now-legendary DIY release.
While TOXIC YOUTH continued to play shows and tour throughout the late-90s and 2000s, it wasn’t until they met a new drummer in 2018 that they really started working on a new release.
The band picked things up exactly where they left off. ‘BACK TO YOU-TH’ pulls no punches and proves beyond any doubt that the band haven’t lost their knack for aggressive, breakneck riffs and relentless punk anthemics, with a Toxic Twist. Its time to do it again!!
Rise Above are Dutch hardcore band and this is their latest e.p. that came out with WTF Records.
This whole record is dedicated to the memory of their friend and drummer Pierre who passed away in 2019. Now, the guys decided that quitting is not an option and made a new release through which they celebrate life and memory of their fallen brother. There are four songs on this one and the music can be described as street hardcore with metallic influences thrown in the song structures. Forever In Our Hearts is the song that hits you in your face and makes you sad while remembering all the fallen brothers and sisters from our scene in the hometown, I think it is the same anywhere and anyone in the hardcore scene can relate to this one. My Life Fuck You is hardcore miniature that says it all. Rise Above, the same titled song as the name of the band is another inspiring and uplifting hardcore anthem from the streets. Empty Handed finishes the little e.p. leaving you wanting more and I can`t wait for the full length.
