[engl] Debut release from this mexican band with 4 tracks of metal-spiced powerful punk/oi

[engl] Originally released as a CD in 2006, the debut album of the basques ORREAGA 778 finally is reissued on vinyl. Remastered for the occasion by Daniel Husayn at his North London Bomb Factory studios, the album resumes the freshness of a starter band and, pictures the essence of the political-historical moment of the Basque Country through their lyrics.

[engl] Split 12" with the bands ORREAGA 778 from the Basque Country and GREBOL from Sweden.

[engl] This is like the hidden gem of the Basque Country scene, very particular and unique, one of its kind, out-of-nowhere devastating attack. 6 tracks recorded in one sitting, altogether, for maximum pleasure and enjoyment, that made it into a demo tape released in 2018. Now we'll have it on vinyl and it shreds. (got the test pressing already, it fucking SHREDS) Harsh, cold, ripping tunes for the fans of the music made from the guts. No tricks, no overproduction, no bullshit. Welcome to PURO ODIO's world. It might be difficult to digest for some people who expect the same type of releases from each label over and over again and feed their comfort with the expected. But hey, we didn't start this to please everyone's ears but to release whatever the fuck we want, to release music that make us feel. If you are into old school, raw, blackened punk and hardcore, the first steps of black metal, if you are into broken melodies, nihilist lyrics and overall darkness, then it's your lucky day. Enjoy PURO ODIO.

[engl] Amazing debut by this band hailing from the mountains and valleys of Switzerland with 5 tracks-plus-intro of Heavy Metal infused OI! with such an absurd amount of epicness that will make you want to horse charge, sword in the air, towards a riot police line or climb the Eiger's north face, barefoot and with a full armour on. Yeah, like that. Check those monumental riffs, those battle drums, the guitar leads, listen to the choruses, this is the perfect soundtrack to beheading kings and queens in front of overjoyed crowds or a triumphant march of peasants after overthrowing the lords. So yeah if you like your OI! with strong influences from Heavy Metal and stories of epic battles and warriors fighting the power, this is definitely for you. Tue Ton Roi!!!

[engl] Exactly half a year after the vinyl release of their demo comes the second 7" by the Californians, and I can't be happier about this release! This band just gets better and better, more and more brutal, sharper and sharper, adding complexity to the songs without losing the point, and still keeping a healty balance between the fast ragers and the mid-tempo stompers they trade-marked. 6 new tracks of more sheer brutality, more feedback and distortion, more punching basslines, more of those sweet crazy memorable guitar riffs, more deep-in-the-cave rough screaming, more of that momumental drumming. More stomping and elbowing. This is awesome. Just check the 20 sec intro on "Culture Of War". You feel it? That's REPEAT OFFENDER coming for you and destroying everything in their path.

[engl] Featuring one track on the PARIS ON OI! compilation, this new project with members of a great number of bands have their own proper debut with this 7” EP containing 4 tracks plus an intro of perfectly executed French OI!: great guitar work, perfect balance between melody and rawness, slightly gloomy, agressive and catchy.

[engl] In March 2020 the band made their vinyl debut on Mendeku Diskak with the now sold-out “Bermeo Skinhead Hardcore” 7inch, changed drummer and then went on a forced hiatus by the pandemic which put them in intensive care, almost pronounced dead: no gigs for months, moral really down, even booked a farewell tour in France, Belgium, Catalunya and Basque Country with CUERO by the end of 2021...and that changed everything. Luckily enough for the rest of us, they decided to keep going and oh boy they did, stronger than ever, like rising from the ashes with sole purpose of pounding our heads and make us mosh with their powerful and uncompromising HARDCORE for years to come. So there you have this 12inch with the title “Euskal Hardcorra” as statement of perseverance and stubbornness with 8 tracks sung in Basque and filled with monumental riffs, feedbacks, stomping vibes, delicate rawness, perfect vocal delivery, amazing drum work and general crushing power. A bulldozing record that proves once again that Bermeo has something special for extreme rocknroll.

[engl] Debut release of this new project born between both shores of the English Channel. Glammy hooks and swaggering bravado on a dark wavelength. This release goes from strength to strength like melancholic overture with venomous guitars. Really catchy and tuneful stuff perfectly balanced with raspy vocals and sharp and direct aesthetics. A true beast of no nation.

[engl] After a few demo tracks released only in digital, this Italian duo from Sondrio, north of Italy, brings us their first physical release in the shape of a flexi 7" with 4 tracks (+intro) of crispy, sort of claustrophobic, mid-tempo distorted punk. 80's italian punk/hardcore is a great source of desperate atmospheres fed on dissonances, noisy backgrounds, chaotic display and labyrinthine soundscapes. Bands like Wretched, Impact, Kina, Indigesti or Dioxina were some of the true masters at the craft. Althought Scalpo doesn't sound like any of the mentioned above, they have no problem in taking various influences of crude and bleak music, drinking from different sources to shape up their own "Psicoguerra Punk", gloomy mid-tempo distorted punk full of angst and desperation. Just take as an example the song "Illusioni", a 1:19 minutes track with 6 different parts that don't repeat: no chorus, no verse, fuck that. Just 6 unique slaps of raw awesomeness. Listening to it it's like not knowing where the fuck you are going but enjoying the ride to the max.

[engl] This band released last year a demo tape with 4 tracks and i loved it. Got in contact with them and boom, few months later here you have the demo tracks plus two new unreleased rippers, 6 songs in total of raging US80's influenced Hardcore Punk, straight forward, no bullshit, non stop tupa-tupa delicacy that leaves you wanting more of their craft. Not a single filler here, just 5 great pissed off rapid fire hardcorepunk songs with a few properly placed breakdowns to help take your breath back with occasional guitar leads here and there to sweaten the deal and 1 mid tempo stomper that induces you to apply physical violence against anything around and beyond.

[engl] Another great band from the town of Bermeo!!! These 4 tracks were released in june on a self-released demo tape and now we are doing a beautiful vinyl version. Great bare-knuckle rock'n'roll mixed with punk/oi! influences, raw and unpolished sonic aggression, perfect soundtrack for street brawls and barfights. Raspy vocals, chainsaw guitars with awesome riffing, pummeling rhythm section with great basslines and full of tricks drum work.

[engl] First, only and posthumous release of this great band from Brittany almost kept in total obscurity, 4 tracks of pure finesse, playing a sort of gloomy and melancholic OI! sung in french with post-punk influences. An elegant and desperate musical manifesto of class warfare and youth rage, a sonic punch right in the face of the bourgeoisie, melodic and menacing at the same time. We released this records once the band was long gone and to the surprise of their bandmembers for our interest but we felt this great music couldn't be left just wandering about in the digital universe, so here you go a vin

[engl] Vinyl version of this album originally released as a CD in 2012 by the band themselves and the distro/label Unión Y Difusión from Argentina. 14 tracks of pure anthemic punk-rock/oi!, full of sing-a-longs and gang chorus, perfect for terrace ambiance or bar amusement. For fans of Cock Sparrer and the likes.

[engl] Originally released as a CD in 2016 by the band themselves and Unión y Difusión 'zine and distro. More Pubrock and less Punkrock than "Esto Es Nuestro" album, but as catchy as the previous album. Musically is more elaborated, there's more guitar work, kinda more street-rocko'n'roll than Punk/Oi! Lyrics still pointing out social, political and other issues related to the normal life of argentinian working class lads.

[engl] Cobra Jaune Skins on the attack! Debut release from this new band from Belgium made up by ¾ of INSTRUCTOR members swapping instruments. I was lucky enough to attend their first gig in a dirty, smelly, smokey and packed basement of a Brussels squat in December '21 when on tour with CUERO and REVERTT, and that was the perfect atmosphere to match their raw and uncompromising musical assault. This debut 7" EP contains 6 tracks of some sort of mix between abrassive mid-tempo Hardcore and negative-vibes-only OI! with lyrics full of bitterness and angst sung in French.

[engl] Debut release of this young basque band from the town of Lekeitio, 6 tracks of dark-ish Punk with a melodic touch, with a wide range of influences such as a bit of Oi!, Hardcore and Post-Punk or even certain dashes of Death-Rock. Crispy stuff with fat and rough tone on the guitar and bass distortions that give a wide range of sound shades making it very personal. Short songs sung in Basque ("Zementua Armosaten" means "Having concrete for breakfast") full of angst and rage that resound as a battle cry from the mental dirt we are trapped in.
