If twenty year old me could see me now, sitting here about to review a Terveet Kädet album. You see back pre-internet at Uni a mate of a mate had this jackets with hand scrawled band names on it, all… Continue Reading →
I’ve always hated the term supergroup, it sends icy tendrils into my bowels turning me into a chocolate poo machine, causing my intestines to spasm and rendering my jeans into a waterslide of excrement. I mean of course it doesn’t,… Continue Reading →
We have touched upon this Australian based act a few times in the past with split releases and 7 inches and now they return with a full album of 14 tracks. Naturally due to the nature of the beast it… Continue Reading →
Always a pleasure to see Stig Ese and his cohorts return. It’s been four years since Introvert where I noted that the heavy metal was definitely in the ascendancy over the black metal so I was interested to see if… Continue Reading →
Right I’m not going to bullshit you and pretend that I am completely au fait with the current UK punk scene. In fact even back in time I lived in one of those truly shitty English small towns where tribes… Continue Reading →
French hardcore band Birds in Row have been around for a little while now, and their new album Gris Klein, really shows it. The instrumentation feels tight, and is the kind of sound only veterans of the genre can produce…. Continue Reading →

Seattle is famous for many things including Amazon’s bottomless pit of consumables, plaid shirts, heroin, all things Grunge and Starbucks, purveyor of coffee and bringer of misery to the third world. What it’s probably not as well known for, is… Continue Reading →
It’s been 6 years since “Nihilism” rattled my teeth. That was the Dutch noiseniks second album and it gave me all the right feels in all those wrong places (you know the ones that hurt soooooo good!) The fact that it has taken them 6 years… Continue Reading →
Never having heard of this US band before, I looked at the name and began to imagine Skepticism covering some disco hits. Thankfully that was short lived as the words ‘punk’ and ‘powerviolence’ (though I’ll be honest that genre name… Continue Reading →
This band’s previous album “Pora Umierać” (2018) was a riotous, livewire affair so I was hoping that this nominally black-punk band from Poland would give us more of the same. The first thing to note about Truchło Strzygi is that… Continue Reading →
