The Sybians is a reggae project from Amsterdam. After their first single in 2025, they now come up with their debut full-length album, offering thirteen
I spent quite a while thinking about how to start this review of Lost Legion from Chicago. Since no clear concept came to mind, I’ll go with a more intuitive approach. The first thing that caught my attention was the small poster included with the record. Along with its artwork,...
Poor Impulse Control return with their second release. After the 2024 LP Where Angels Fear To Tread, here comes the Tourist Trap EP, once again released in cooperation with Contra Records and Audio Epidemic Records. Compared to their debut, the band have turned it up a notch – or rather...
Canadian The Prowlers released their album Prowl Around in 2022, in collaboration with several labels across continents. In the band’s discography, it’s only their second full-length after Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow. It might sound surprising, given how long they’ve been around, but besides these two LPs they also put out...
On July 28, 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, sparking the First World War. 111 years later, Belgrade commando Fitz decided to storm into the world of streetpunk with the same ferocity as the battles that erupted back then. Since I don’t know many bands from the Balkans (from Serbia,...
The first band to appear in our reviews with more than one release is, „surprisingly,“ Shaved For Battle. The label Under The Watchful Eyes put out this EP in 2025, and Muna also provided the artwork. The opening track, Diehards, belongs among the very best that Shaved For Battle have...
This mini album, or rather maxi EP, was released in the US under Longshot Records and in Europe through TASTM. Bomber hail from Los Angeles and, according to the booklet, the band is made up of musicians who have been active in the punk, Oi! and rock’n’roll scene since the...
The Sybians is a reggae project from Amsterdam. After their first single in 2025, they now come up with their debut full-length album, offering thirteen tracks with a total running time of 35 minutes – which, in my opinion, is just about perfect for this style. The record was released...
Dávka štěstí is the eighth, ninth, or quite possibly even the tenth full-length record by the Prague punk rock band Nežfaleš — depending on whether you count the split with Supertesla and the compilation Dvě desítky let among their regular albums. I’ll leave that up to you. What’s certain, however,...
The Australian band The Vee Bees formed in 2000, so they’ve already racked up a respectable quarter century of existence. Honestly, I didn’t know this band at all before, but they deliver a likable mix of punk and rock’n’roll. They don’t take themselves too seriously and, instead of focusing on...
No Heart is a Canadian band I’ve been following since around 2018, when they released the album Can’t Get Out. That record carried a fairly raw Oi!/street punk spirit that entertained me in a similar way to early recordings by Perkele. A ringing guitar clashing like swords in a duel,...
At the end of 2025, the Prague-based label Knockout Booking released an album by the Finnish band Pay Cut. The band hails from Helsinki, which raises the question of whether there is any personal or at least scene-related connection to The Hostile Ones, who come from the same city and...
SIKK are a band from Belgrade, Serbia, and this is their debut release, put out on the German label Try And Stop Me Records. While the title points toward bovver rock, the result feels much more colorful and built on a wider range of influences. The singer in SIKK...
