DOXA band

The band DOXA originally formed in Koln in 2013.  In 2016 and 2021 there was a line-up change on the guitar, which caused the band to partially reorient themselves musically.  At the beginning, an own concept for punk should be defined, which received musical inspiration from bands like Tragedy, Wolfbrigade or From Ashes Rise.

 The idea arose to think about socially critical and philosophical texts in punk and HC in this way.  The most intense, but also darkest, social criticism can usually be found in the theories of old sociological classics such as Adorno, Foucault or Bourdieu.  This is how a musical concept emerged from their own personal “negation of the world” and the corresponding punk attitude.  One's own thoughts and emotions can be supplemented through the glasses of a theory, e.g. by Adorno.  The debut album "Residuen" was paired with an angry, dark and melancholic mixture.

 “Hardcore punk can still do with a message.  […] In addition, DOXA make a broad sound […]that gets energy either from melancholic but melodic guitars or from heavy breakdowns.  DOXA are dark, driving and can also be emotional without being embarrassing.”

 (Plastic Bomb)

 "...Dark and menacing, the chords pile up, besieging everyday racism, causing a 'simply feelin' good inside'.

 As the source of meaningful resistance, DOXA is evidence of a twitch in consciousness..."

 (underdog fanzine)

Cutre band

CUTRE come into being by the result of three guys desire to play fast hardcore. This desire'll decant into a 4 songs demo, registered in 2018. It was recorded and edited in tape, holding the "D.I.Y." like the only way to make things happen. The desire never ceased, then they decided to include an extra-foreign member into the band, closing the project-and finally converting it into an established band, motivated by the eagerness of unleash their project and making it take its own rhythm. In this way, Fede (Avernal, The Killing) on guitar, Leito (Motosierra, Setiembreonce) on bass, Diente (Ulcera) on vocals and Tincho (Camiones en la casa) on drum, take on a trip that's still going on... At the beginning of this current year, 2019, they're playing, composing, and recording their first studio album, that was registered in Ochava Records (the band drummer's home studio) and mastered in "Reel to reel" by Emanero, to later edit it by themselves in tape format.What's coming, is about to be written

Mental Distress band - Pas beaucoup d'avenir LP review

They started Mental Distress in 2013 and the goal has always been to write political songs against all types of discriminations, while keeping the fun side of hardcore punk. Quite soon they recorded our first demo tape, started playing everywhere they could. End of 2015 they changed their bassist before recording a 7” split with their friends from Ed Warner, and an EP along the same lines. Mid 2017 is quite an important moment for the band, as their singer comes out as a trans dude, and they have the opportunity to make their first “real” european tour. Then they took a whole year to concentrate ourselves on the writing of their first LP, and to let hormones do their job on their singer’s voice. 

This LP is different than their other records. A fair amount of their texts are now in french, because it’s easier to express their feelings without having to go through the translation stage. Of course the voice changed a lot, making their music less fast but more understandable, though they still love angry music.

Talacactus band Talacactus album review

Talacactus is a hardcore punk band born in José C. Paz, province of Buenos Aires, in the year 2014. They are trying to develop a style of their own, including the punk, rock and roll styles and the fast-paced styles. The intentions are to include new sounds in the fast music that drives them. The aesthetics are permeated by the indigenous entheogens, the changes in the perception that generalize, and the persecution by the Catholic Church of the ancestral and ritual uses of these substances in Latin America.  
From our earliest beginnings they have sought to create a space in their city, for bands of the fastest musical styles, such as hardcore punk, crust, fastcore, powerviolence, crossover thrash, etc. Unfortunately it is an underground move, and due to the damage of the bolicheros there are the extreme genres, it is difficult to achieve a growth. Amidst our other efforts, they have compiled the compilation "No Trouble: 50 Fast Bands from North and West Conurbano." They also organize recitals like the Trinchera Fest, and José C. Blast, where they invite musicians from another area, and betray the exponents of the underground.From the first to the last track, this album you're going to notice a theme with this album: guitar leads. its a dirty, thrashy, hardcore-punk album that's pushing every song for all the adrenaline it's worth. And really that's all the effort this commands. Throw in some lyrics that'll leave you shitting corn, some of the most generic drumming.

Negativ band

 

 

NEGATIV is a new hardcore punk from Oslo. This band makes me feel that it will bring something exiting to the Oslo punk scene which is not just about Oslo punk scene but it is more involvements from punk scene in other countries. It’s maybe also by the vocalist Skunk’s own hard works for label and bookings, and NEGATIV is deeply involved in it as well. Thus this band makes me feel something will happen! . Once they started playing, the band immediately grabbed the entire atmosphere in the moldy underground space and delivered its manic primitive energy thoroughly. Their sound is based on 80s hardcore with weird mixture of Scandinavian hardcore punk, some Japanese flavor, light distorted guitar sound which sometimes sounded even rockin and the edge of thrash hardcore. Their groove is undulated with its manic groaning vocal but still has some sharp edge of thrash hardcore here and there. Their groove completely smashed the space and whole live space was undulated by the crowds and its sweaty moist heated air.

Ladrona band

LADRONA is hardcore punk/D-beat  band who integrate individualities with artistic concerns
subversive and transgressive. where their interests have been reflected in the contradictions of the system, its moral values, religious values, and private property in a representative Central American and authoritarian context, and the re-meaning and recovery of a life. the catharsis of our sadness, anguish, and the hatred of living in a capitalist system that runs through us the most close to our bodies, where youth have no more options than surviving their jobs, precarious employment, and an eternal uncertainty. the same marginalization in what they see ourselves sometime.

Skrammel records interview

 

1. Could you tell a bit more about skrammel record  label?

 

Skrammel records started out as the out of tune, distorted voice of Swedish punk and hardcore. We wanted it to make it easier for good bands to have their music put on wax, with as little obstructions as possible. No contracts or shady royalty reports. We print the records, the band get some to sell, we take some to sell. And we help each other in any possible way to make sure that the records doesn't end up in storage shelve somewhere. That means small printed volumes and an ever expanding network of distro's in the world that can help us.

2. When did you start with the skrammel  record label   and are the bands satisfied with your services?

 

We will celebrate 10 years next year. 2019 will see us release our 29th, 30th, 31st and perhaps even 32nd records since the start in 2010. Many of the bands are coming band to release new albums with us and we hope that is an indication of us doing a good job and being nice to deal with.

3. What bands can expect from you?

 

Honest support - we only release music we get emotionally attached to, which makes it so much easier for us to support every release with all the love it deserves. Our music is not for everyone and that is fine. It is for us and that is all we need. Also we try to compensate the bands with a number of copies from the printed stock for band to sell at shows. Money in the pocket for the musicians without any reductions by overhead costs. If the musicians need our support to sell their share of the copies we are happy to help them.

4. Could you give some advice to bands about the underground scene? 

 

Be original. Live shows is still great for getting your music out but internet rules. Release one killer track on Youtube, bandcamp or wherever rather than ten bland song on a CDR . Quality is everything. 

5. Could you say something at the end for the blog All for one and one for all?  

 

Continue to send stuff our way. If we don't answer immediately its not because we are being dicks, we are just old and slow. But we will listen. And ooh - Check out the new Fetish and Krig i Hudik-albums (pre-order available at our webshop www.skrammelrecords.com). They are fucking killing it.

Rotten Stitches band

ž 

"Rotten Stiches is a punk band from Atlanta Georgia. When Rebellion Pitt went down to see their show we picked up a copy of Crisis Control. This album is loud and fast and gets your adrenalin pumping. With intense lyrics to match the insane vocals and fast music it is the best soundtrack to an angry life. Picture a bunch of punks in a car getting chased by 20 cop cars, 5 news vans and 2 helicopters trying to escape by throwing Molotov cocktails out the car windows . . . and just when they think there is no hope for an escape they decide to drive off a cliff into the sea where they are able to swim back to a comfortable squat where they celebrate their victory with cheap beers, whiskey and this this CD blasting from a speaker they found in the dumpster, using the electricity they siphon from the neighbors. This talented band has produced a CD that has you on the edge of your seat. Rotten Stitches bring their songs to life in their live show — we highly recommend you check them out."
