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...
In my opinion, Komintern Sect ranks among the foundational pillars of French Oi! punk—right alongside bands like Camera Silens, R.A.S., Reich Orgasm, and Snix. Their legacy was firmly established as early as 1983, thanks in part to their appearance on the now-legendary Chaos En France compilation (Chaos Productions), which introduced...
This record is an absolute beast! The five-piece Canadian band The Enforcers released it on Lionheart Records in a limited run of just 206 copies – and I’d say they’re one of the best new bands to emerge in recent years. Rock Against Society is raw, powerful, and bursting with...
The third release from the Munich-based hardcore bootboy band Choke Combat. After their demo on No Fuss Tapes and a debut LP on Try And Stop Me Records, they now return with a four-track EP, once again released under the TASM label. Choke Combat are now a four-piece, and stylistically...
Lion’s Law are slowly becoming veterans of the scene. After thirteen years of existence, they belong among the most active touring bands, well-known for the raw energy of their live performances. Putting aside Si Le Ciel Vient À Tomber—an album featuring French-language versions of older songs—this is the band’s fifth...
