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...
The Hostile Ones are a band from Helsinki, and this is their latest release, put out on a ten-inch vinyl. I first came across mentions of their activity in 2022, so unless the band had been secretly creating something underground before that, this is a fairly new project. They sing...
The Enforcers from Canada have already appeared here – back then in a review of their debut album. That one was excellent, and the band continues in the very same spirit. Their second release, or rather a mini-album from this tough Canadian bootboy gang, came out as a joint effort...
Castillo from Los Angeles are one of the leading names of the dominant wave of Oi! currently storming clubs across the U.S.. The driving force behind the project is Alex Zambrano, who has been involved in a number of Oi!/streetpunk/hardcore bands – most notably Combat Force, Criminal Outfit, and Repeat...
Big Dog is an Oi! band from Buffalo featuring members of Violent Way, with a massive guy named Graham on vocals. The guys from Violent Way deliver heavy and aggressive Oi!, while Graham tops it off with his rough voice. The result is four fierce tracks with a perfect sound...
Brut is a project by Brod Ashmol from Australia, who has been involved in bands like Marching Orders, Stranglehold, Razorcut, The Truth, and The Hard Targets. If I understood correctly, Brut is actually a one-man project, but I’m not entirely sure – the booklet didn’t reveal much, so in that...
Over the Hill is a Canadian band from Montreal, made up of guys who have been around the scene for quite a few years. If you’re curious about which bands the members played in before, check out the interview we did with them earlier this year on our website –...
