[engl] The greatest follow-up their demo could ever have! These Ruhr Rock'n'Roll heroes debuted last year with a cassette that we pressed on vinyl in April (and which by the way, it's almost sold out) and now they are back with 12 brand new tracks, plus a beautiful piano intro, of the finest Punk/Oi! with their distinctive "sand-paper" guitar sound impossible not to fall in love with unless you are too much into ultrapolished turds and sterilised shit. 12 songs of juicy rawness, 12 songs of Oi! and Punk with Rock'n'Roll undertones that sound to me like mega-hits, full of catchy hooks and memorable singalongs, not a single weak track on this record for fuck's sake.

[engl] COLLAPS is a new band made up of some veterans in the German scene(s) and last year they released a demotape on the Berlin label SFR Hardcore that i played over and over again here at Mendeku HQ, one of my favourite demos of 2022 for sure. So here we are a few months later with the vinyl pressing of it! 4 tracks (plus an amazing and classy piano intro) of PUNK in capital letters. Other than that i find it sort of difficult to place them into a specific sub-category, sure it’s Punk with heavy influences from Oi! and Hardcore. but each of the 4 songs have a unique feel to it, diverse riff patterns and drum beats, blending all toghether under a blanket of rawness with that great “sand-paper” guitar tone. Nice lyrics with a touch of sarcasm and irony about daily life issues and other scene subjects.
