Slime: Wem gehoert die Angst (Who Owns Fear) album review.

Slime is a german punk institution that has consistently addressed social issues and promoted activism. This is their 8th album and it's solid as fuck. Whilst I cannot understand German, I was drawn by the catchy and punchy tracks. The pace is like the peak of old school street punk like The Business or Cockney Rejects or fellow comrades Die Toten Hosen. The whole album has great variety and I dug how it bounced from straight punk to post-punk to folk-punk or even hard rock. They are quality players to carry this off so proficiently. I can imagine this would be a great band to pogo to whilst downing several pints. But the outstanding lyrical quality adds more to these really well-written songs. Great album.

Amenra interview

Amenra moves far beyond boring stereotypical genres because they are both exceptionally original and extremely challenging. And that's exactly how music should be; equally gripping and based on unrelenting emotion. I had the honor to interview Colin H. van Eeckhout and sheer passion and devotion flow through his every response as I had expected. This will only be surpassed by seeing Amenra live as part of their current Australian debut tour. I encourage you to take the time to listen to their gripping and essential albums. Everything from their artwork, videos, and lyrics are works of a true artist and are crafted for effect and no effort is wasted. Enjoy this interview. It's beyond essential reading my friends.  First off, thank you for the great chance to chat to one of not only one of my personal favorite all time bands, but the opportunity to flush out the essence of one of the most creative musical acts in current existence. For my own experience Amen...

Bastard Squad-Interview with Jason and "Hate City" album review by Mark Jenkins

Bastard Squad- Without a doubt one of the most influential punk bands in Australia and for me personally, the band as a teenager that introduced me to local punk and it's community. From their first demo to the current album, they have always steered away from trends and always remained as punk as fuck. Despite endless lineup changes, this band has not only toured overseas but scored support slots for pretty much every big name punk gig in Australia. Lyrically and musically they have always remained progressive, and the current album "Hate City" is a testament to this statement. I was proudly chuffed to interview Jason and also reviewed their current album. I honestly believe Bastard Squad are as pivotal to the Australian punk scene (as well as Vicious Circle, Tutti Parze and Warp Spasm) as Mindsnare is to Aussie Hardcore. Great to see Bastard Squad still kicking and not resting on their laurels, but rather challenging the sociopolitical impact of the mod...

  Choof-Demo EP. FFO: Raging and crazed hardcore/PV/Grind/Fast-core-All the good stuff!! This is a wild debut-they may call it a demo, but this is a serious EP despite going by in a blink of an eye. I am not familiar with the other players in the band, but Jake always does some insane bands that border on pure mayhem and Choof is no exception. Choof is a raging, hectic as hell kinda sludgy but mostly power violence meets fastcore with some definite grind/hardcore stylings. It is tangential and damn psychotic. the mix of styles works so well because the unhinged shit drifts off into almost Mr Bungle greatness and a huge love of metal. The riffs are monstrous, and the drums/bass were epic. Whilst the release is brief, these fuckers cram so much into each track and this shows their pretty amazing songwriting skills. What I love the most about this release, is it really dwells in the realms of obscure 7 inch EP's of deranged powerviolence and real cult hardcore bands that you hear and ...
