The latest news:
New album from Unite Against Society
The latest reviews:
Strongarm and the Bullies - Drive On
Rebellion Records - LP -
After19 (!!!) years came this band from South California with brand new full album. In line up are just two original members (singer Eric and guitarist Jared) plus Caleb on guitar, girl Chalon on bass (Toughskins, Bedlam Knives) and drummer Chris (Voodoo Glow Skulls, Autorithy Zero). On album you may check 12 new songs of perfect streetrock with faster tunes (Shit Show, Sail Away), melancholic ones (blues pieces My Disease, or the beginning of White Crosses which came later into standard rhythm), r´n´r stuff (Fame and Fortune, Sinner of Saint, Red, White and Blue) and in the last song Honor Among Outcasts (which is one of the best pieces from the LP and which is about the fact that we don´t need your plastic smiles, credit cards and houses because it is all fake) you will hear Twisted Sister and their We're Not Gonna Take It. Interesting is the fact that the band built their own studio for recording. Cover is done by Johan Prenger (wolves on the front side of the album) and Ramon (who is responsible for the iron fist and the rest). LP is limited to 5000 copies (250 black and 250 transparent red), inside is paper with lyrics + band photos. This has really great drive!
Concrete Elite/Ultra Razzia - split
Rebellion Records/Warthog - LP -
Split Ep from two bands which came across the pond – Concrete Elite from Texas which are cooperating with Rebellion for such a long time and Montreal based Ultra Razzia with Prowlers members and which sing in French. Concrete Elite has there three songs called Cages, World of Violence and Victory at any Cost which came from 2022 studio session where band record stuff for split with Faction-S. Cages are starting with nice solo and it may seem that they become softer but then came refrain and you may see that this is not true. It still brutal HC/Oi! machine snd other two songs prove this especially the World of Violence. Ultra Razzia has there four songs including Razors in the Night from Blitz (in French and in softer version than original). Songs are not so hard and all are in the line of classic Oi!/streetpunk. Song titles are De Sang-Froid (In Cold Blood but I don´t know if the song is about the famous book/film), Le Séjours Des Morts (Underworld), Le Mirage and Rasoirs Dans La Nuit. Their second songg Le Séjours Des Morts is the best one for me. On title cooperates Ramon again but the original was done by the artist with nickname Grimblack. LP is limited to 500 copies (250 black and 250 ultrac lear) with lyrics, photos and A3 poster. Good one!
