Citizens Patrol - S/t lp

This is a band I love, so when someone told me they had released their first lp I was pretty excited.
Since 2006 these dudes put out a demo and a couple of grand eps and played tons of shows around Europe.
15 hardcore dutch songs, for fans of...hardcore.

Henry Fiat's Open Sore - Mondo Blotto

This one goes out to Magnum.
I drove about an hour and a half to see HFOS last year, but when I arrived I found out the show was cancelled.
Anyway this is some good crazy punk garage music from Stockholm, in the veins of The Hives.
They have now split into two bands, HFOS and Friends Of Dorothy.

Light Up! - Fields of deafness

Hardcore from Milan.
This cd was recorded live in studio in one day.
Fast hardcore with some midtempos.
Sometime it's too NYC-styled for me, but the guys are good. Keith Morris quote!

Shock Troopers - Blades and rods

Another great act from Palemmo, featuring mythical Piparino on drums.
What they do is that kind of music known back in the days as "crossover", aka old school thrash (Nuclear Assault, D.R.I...you know, the good one).
This is their second full-lenght; any kind of stuff is available from their MySpace page.

Deep Wound - S/t 7"

DW's 1983 self-titled 7", released after their first-ever demo cassette.
Set up in Westfield, MA this short-lived hardcore band had J Mascis on drums and Lou Barlow on guitar, who later went on to form seminal rock band Dinosaur Jr.
It's very fast hardcore punk with downtempos, made by excellent adolescent musicians.

Hummingbird Of Death - Show us the meaning of haste

These guys are from Boise, a city with a funny name in the USA. However they're not funny; they are tough.
Grind, thrash and power violence mixed up with hardcore. A tornado!
They seem to be quite fast also in writing songs, as you can see from their discography in their MySpace page.

You Suck! - Lobotomized youth

New cd for one of the filthiest hardcore bands in today's Italy. This time they sound like they just put a microphone in the center of their rehearsal room or something like that, and I love it!
6 new songs and a cover, Godezza style.
Anyway they'll probably record again these songs in a better audio quality for the vinyl version of the album.

The Italian Stallion - Back to thrashland

Their last 7" before disbanding in april 2008.
They're from Wegberg, Germany and they released a bunch of 7". Members now play in Sniffing Glue and Abfukk (I think).
Fast whirlwind thrashcore, the way we all like.
Maybe not a masterpiece, but if you got 5 minutes...
