RZL DZL - Both

Like many other times, I couldn't find all the infos I wanted about this band.
They're from Detroit, their lyrics are carefree and they like to put some hip hop stuff in their songs (just a little bit), but basically they play a NYC-styled hardcore.
If anyone knows something more, please tell me.

Gama Bomb - Half Cut

2010 ep by irish thrashers Gama Bomb.
11 minutes of old school thrash metal, which is quite the maximum metal-amount I can tolerate at once.
This ep was released as a limited edition bonus cd of their last full-lenght "Tales From The Grave In Space".

Beer Bong - Fast and comfortable

My knowledge of the italian melodic hardcore scene may not be wide, but these guys surely kick ass; actually this is the finest italian melodic hardcore album I know. 14+1 tracks, originally released in 1999 on Everybody Loves Records.
Speed, melody and Paolo Crimi on drums, who has the biggest cock in town.

Lion Of Judah - Universal peace

LOJ are from Washington DC, and this is their first full lenght. They're deeply influenced by bands like Fugazi and Bad Brains. The lyrics are about social problems like global warming and the Iraqi war.
 Something in between old and new school.

Infäme - II lp

Here's the 2009 lp from Barcelona's Infäme.
Their hardcore is quite fast and angry but still pretty melodic, and of course well recorded.
Their catalan lyrics concern social and political issues.

Corrupted Morals - Cheese it

Corrupted Morals were one of those bands born around the Gilman St. scene.
This is their only lp, released by Lookout Records in 1989. Their songs are made of hardcore with a little bit of metal, a very powerful outcome.
Featuring Larry LaLonde on guitar (later playing in Primus)

Fuck On The Beach / Merda - Split ep

Crazy, therefore nice, split. Two songs from japanese FOTB and seven from brazilian Merda, a mixture of punk, crust, thrash and power violence, with a certain dose of silliness.                                               http://www.mediafire.com/?ginx75pz3ndj4zc

BANxTHIS! - S/t lp

This is the only lp released by BANxTHIS!, recorded at Hate Studio (Vicenza) on august 2007; they lasted about three years but they managed to put out some very quality stuff.
Their inspiration came from bands like Adolescents, Bl'ast! and Fu Manchu, mixing everything up in an original way. Pessimistic lyrics and a beautiful artwork by Dario Quatrini.

CCCP - 1964/1985 Affinità-divergenze fra il compagno Togliatti e noi (del conseguimento della maggiore età)

Classic punk record!
CCCP were an italian pro-soviet punk band active from 1982 until 1990, and since then they had a huge influence on lots of bands. They mixed up many different genres troughout the years like industrial music, folk, Middle Eastern music and much more, starting from punk and ending in a sort of art rock.
Their live shows often included features of expressionist theatre.

Smart Cops - Per proteggere e servire

Allessio reprazent - Frisbee's gonna like this one.
Smart Cops have written 9 new songs and re-recorded 2 previous ones for their first full lenght, out on La Tempesta and Sorry State.
The new formula is: less hardcore, more garage. Handclaps and hyper-catchy riffs take over.
I definitely prefer the old stuff.

Surf Nazis Must Die - Anti everything ep

Powerful und ignorant thrashpunk band made by some young people from Germany (Berlin, I think).
This band died by the end of 2003 but they were able to release this ep on Youth Attack!
It's very good, you should listen to it.

Ed - Senza ragione 7"

These italian metalheads play a thrash/skate/core, very technical, very inspired. What I really like is the presence of slow and fast parts, as well as the singing style and the influences of such bands as Black Sabbath.
Their first release is dated 2001.
You can purchase this piece of wax here.

Bl'ast! - Discography


Seminal hardcore band from Santa Cruz, active between 1982 and 1990.
Their music is pretty hard to define; it's a mixture of punk/hardcore, metal and hard rock.
Sometimes they sound very similar to Black Flag, other times to Black Sabbath.


(1986) The power of expression
(1987) It's in my blood
(1989) Take the manic ride

Melt Banana Lite - Live: ver. 0.0

This is what happens when MxBx get tired of playing bass and guitars and start with synths.
A live album recorded in Tokyo, with a lot of songs taken from their last studio album.
A little more experimental than the usual Banana stuff.
