Five new firecrackers to bang-up your favorite 48 hours…
‘What Are We Standing For’ by BAD RELIGION (Los Angeles)
“In this time of tribal nationalism, dissent, as a form of political speech, is vital to democracy.” The American veteran punks support athletes who take a knee to protest racism and police brutality with this rattling rocket, speeding like a hot rod on the run.
‘White Lies’ by WAR ON WOMEN (Baltimore, US)
A buzz and fuzz crossover crackerjack propelled by stormy guitars, slashing drums, and Shawna Potter spitting and sneering in the face of vicious racists. “We politely request you
get your boots off our necks.” New album Wonderful Hell out 30 October.
‘Diskotek’ by AXLS (Newcastle Upon Tyne)
After their Saturday Night Fever debut concept album First Contact this vibrant trio
returns with a hip-shaking dance stomper that triggers your limbs on the spot. Turn
your living room into a discotheque and pretend like it’s 1999 all over again.
.
‘Summer’s Gone’ by BEECH (Belgium)
Imagine Scottish daydreamers Teenage Fanclub fronted by J Mascis. Yes, slacker vibes and melancholic sentiments, longing for better sunlit days. Close your eyes and join the moony trip while musing about a corona-free world. The nostalgic video clip will help you.
‘Take Over’ by FIRST FRONTIER (South-London)
We can all use a sonic boost in these surreal times. Take Over does the job damn well. A new-wavish, uplifting and don’t worry, be happy humdinger “about protecting your mental health by silencing the channels through which we receive negativity on the reg!” Fun video!
See/hear you next week music junkies…

Five new firecrackers to bang-up your favorite 48 hours…
‘Wonderful Hell’ by WAR ON WOMEN
Two years after their smashing LP Capture The Flag the Baltimore hardcore fanatics announced a new longplayer, out next month. Lead-single ‘Wonderful Hell’ is a metallic bang-up cry out for a better world. Stop the fascist creeeeep, let’s raise some hell is the muscled message. Time to act before the monster gets YOU!
‘Psychopath’s Monologue’ by THE CHRONICLES OF MANIMAL AND SAMARA
This is what happens when Mr Hyde turns up at midnight at your bed and scares
the shit out of you with some creepy stories while he dances around your bedroom
like a deranged maniac to this industrialized techno outburst.
.
‘Mirror’ by HEY COLOSSUS feat. MARK LANEGAN (UK/US)
This collaborative song is a pitch-black slow moving serpent. Creepy, ominous
and enigmatic. A fitting piece for the twilight hours and for Lanegan‘s devilish voice.
New album Dances/Curses out 20 November. All info here.
‘Hell’s Teeth’ by PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS (Newcastle, UK)
Newcastle’s pig punch punks dropped an animated video clip for their newest
smack from their third album Viscerals. Expect a paranoid Black Sabbath drone.
‘Berlin’ by A CERTAIN RATIO (Manchester, UK)
Another electronic stomper from Manchester’s funky post-punk heroes’ upcoming
LP ACR LOCO, their first in twelve years. It features the wonderful voice of Denise
Johnson who sadly passed away last July.
Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…
Hardcore powerhouse WAR ON WOMEN will launch their new, 2nd album ‘Capture The Flag’ next month and just shared another hammering killer track. LONE WOLVES, the opener on the upcoming LP is a trashy steamroller about America’s gun culture and its disastrous consequences. Here in Europe, we cannot understand at all why the greedy money sharks of the NRA, backed by a corrupted government, can act freely without ANY obstruction. These criminals in suits don’t care one moment that civilians shoot each other on a daily basis. On the contrary, the more mass shootings the more weapons are sold in the United States Of Ammunition while the guilty politicians look the other way. These steamy-hot noiseniks out of Baltimore also dislike rightly & fiercely what happens in their land of opportunities. They spit and sneer about it with VICIOUS VIGOUR and SMASHING SHOUTS! Open windows and doors, turn up the decibels and give your neighbours a nasty injection of this machine-gun knockout before a lone wolf shoots them…
