I'd call it "street punk" - but the good kind ^^), very hymnic. Although this usually isn't my preferred style of music i recommend this record heavily! Hits only!


older releases:

Drei Affen - Seguimos Ciegxs

listen: https://lefthandlabel.bandcamp.com/album/lhl007-drei-affen-seguimos-ciegxs
Epic Neo-Crust / Screamo / Post-Hardcore from Spain, tearing everything apart! These six tracks blow you away, especially when listening to them on a monday morning to wake up ;-)! Fantastic stuff!

Lady Crank - Scylla/Charybdis

Oh wow! How could this be catergorized? Garagerock and Grunge meet Post-Hardcore?!? Pretty hectic, maybe that's already "mathy"(?), many breaks but still catchy refrains, something's always going on here. Definitely worth more than one listen ^^


Also worth mentioning:


2020releases:

scratchpack - I Love You To The Moon And Back
listen: https://scratchpack.bandcamp.com/album/i-love-you-to-the-moon-and-back
Oh, Grunge is still around?!? And it's feeling *this* well ^^??!? Fantastic EP from these polish guys!

Catchy Punkrock from Australia! Reminds me of Blink182 or Green Day spontaneously, but a little less polished. Sounds like a great Soundtrack for the summer, which seems a bit displaced in the northern hemisphere - but on the other hand, in Australia it's just the end of summer, so in the end this *does* fit perfectly ;-) !

Garganjua - Toward the Sun
listen: https://garganjua.bandcamp.com/album/toward-the-sun
Stoner / Sludge / (Progressive) Doom / Post-Metal
Mostly very athmospheric, so these mostly long songs take their time to develop - but they do excellently!
Perfect record for a sunday afternoon!

I guess you already read all the info above, so what can i add to this "stoner-supergroup"'s latest release?!? Style is very diverse, so basically everyone should be able to find some favourites quickly. On the other hand this also means some of the songs do not kick in this quickly (for me it's, as most of the time: the slow(er) songs). Maybe, if you listen to all of it more often it will all come together after a while, but for now only time will tell. In general it's highly recommended to listen and decide for yourselves!

Suspense Heroes Syndicate - Mary EP

listen: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k-hq7HclDNX25ydsJ0qbrZd9vlTB_xstE
Russian Skapunk. Three Songs. Mary is a bit slow, more traditional Ska. The B-Sides are cover versions, more rocky. The version of "Price Tag" is very cool (that was the first thing i heard from this band)!

Orbiter - The Deluge
http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2020/01/22/orbiter-the-deluge-release/
listen: https://orbiterconnection.bandcamp.com/album/the-deluge
Debut EP of this finnish female-fronted (new vocalist!) doom metal outfit. You need to be in the mood for this and/or generally dig this stuff, but then it's very good and you decide you should keep an eye on this band... ;-)
