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...
I finally got around to this EP, which had already found its way into my hands sometime in the middle of the year. It’s a release by the southern California band Handpay, issued on Lionheart Records in a pressing of 25 test presses, 115 copies on black vinyl, and 215...
The latest release from Oi!Tism Records is a recording by Jackknife Johnny from Sacramento, California. This is the band’s debut, featuring nine original tracks. The record was released in two versions: 130 copies on Apple Red vinyl and 132 copies on Ice Blue with Black Splatter. In total, the album...
Rancœur from Nancy follow the wave of the French cold Oi! scene. In 2022, the band released their first EP Lame En Peine, followed by their self-titled debut LP. The album was released through a collaboration of several labels, namely Longshot Music, Kanal Hysterik, Contra Records, and Tough Ain’t Enough....
I picked up this EP during one of my record-shopping trips earlier this year. I had no idea what kind of project it was, but the release on Tough Ain’t Enough, the 7″ vinyl format, and the classic aggressive artwork convinced me to buy it. I didn’t know the band...
The gang of gorillas from Sweden recently gave us an interview, so if you’re interested in their story and approach to music, I recommend starting there. So far, the band has released all their recordings as seven-inch singles with four tracks each. For those who—like me—missed their original releases, there’s...
Sympos are a band from Waterford, Ireland. I first came across them thanks to their EP More Sympos, which I ordered on vinyl immediately after hearing it online. As I’ve said here a few times, the most interesting projects are usually the ones that manage to combine different influences and...
