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
Boston Hardcore – all day, every day! A burst of fresh blood on the U.S. hardcore scene, kicking hard in every direction. This is the kind of hardcore I’m into – tempo shifts, builds from groovy, head-nodding parts into crushing blasts of sound, and a fast, clipped vocal right up...
Battle Ruins are a phenomenon. Their self-titled 7″ EP from 2010 was the first release that introduced them to the world under the Rock ‚N‘ Roll Disgrace Records label. Now, in 2024, this classic gets a repress – this time on 12″ vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, courtesy of...
This mini LP was released in 2023 as a collaboration between Try And Stop Me Records and Mister Face Records. Intimidation is a four-piece band hailing from New Jersey and western Massachusetts, USA. They seem to come from the same tribe as bands like Violent Way, Restraining Order, Klaxon, The...
I’d been looking forward to this record ever since the first mentions of it appeared. I discovered the Canadian project First Attack on Bandcamp, where two songs were initially released. What immediately caught my attention was the involvement of vocalist and guitarist Greg Huff, known from bands like Glory Stompers,...
Contra is the second full-length album from Chicago’s Fuerza Bruta. This crew delivers top-notch Oi! punk that, in my opinion, ranks among the best the global scene has to offer. The record kicks off with a dark, choral intro that sets an occult tone — one that runs through the...
Šminky padlejch královen (Makeup of Fallen Queens) was released in 2021 on Cecek Records. It’s the eighth studio release from this Prague-based band—counting their split album with kindred spirits Supertesla. Nežfaleš has been around long enough to develop a distinctive and unmistakable voice. At the same time, their music reflects...
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...
