Sju Svåra År, Ingen Tog Det Som Ett Skämt - 7"

Sju Svåra År releases their new EP ”Ingen Tog Det Som Ett Skämt” (Nobody Took It As a Joke) at Gaphals. Four songs with deep poetry three-chord-punk touching both the heart and mind. Dark, yet hopeless melodies fill "Ingen Tog Det Som Ett Skämt", where the glimpse of the eye and the kitchen sink realism was mixed with seriousness and political humanity. The band is always uncompromising with a lot of heart and pain. At the band, "quality before quantity" is a guiding star where the EP follows the band's debut album and latest release, "Storma varje hjärta", released in 2012.

Sub Alert, Obekväma människor - 7"

If you see 8 tracks on a 7”EP and the address is Sweden you know what to expect. It’s a hardcore blast, with maniac vocals, heavy guitar and swedish style solos. Anti-Cimex here, MOB47 there, a splash of PROTEST BENGT. Mixed by Kenko from DISCHANGE/MEANWHILE. Good references and very good punk indeed. Check them out!

I haven’t heard a bad band from Sweden so far. Bring on Abba for a change now!

Thisclose/Sludge - split 7"

"Are you ready???" for Thisclose/Sludge Japan tour? for Japan to get a crasher course in the Grave New Beat?

Thisclose unleash two tracks of their unmistakable d-beat formula: the high-charge catchy chaos of Discharge intertwined with the ballsy prancing hard rock of Discharge, backing Rodney Shades' signature heavy metal wail. Along with Gasmask Terror and Vaaska, they are one of the few bands that somehow manages to make "d-beat" stylistically interesting and exciting in 2017.

Sludge follow up their LP on Crust War with two tracks of metallic Japanese hardcore. They mix the rocking and attitude of traditional Japanese hardcore like Tetsu Array with the heaviness and aggression of metallic Japanese bands like Ghoul and Demolition. Not for the faint of heart.

Illya - In Adversity... EP

Anybody into DIY punk knows that Japan has one of the largest punk scenes in the world, producing a volume of recorded output comparable to entire continents. And Tokyo is the largest city in the world, a cultural mecca for a wide range of niche expressions. So you could be forgiven if any particular DIY punk band from Tokyo has slid under the radar for you. And with only two 7"s and a couple tape/CD-R demos over 11 years, like many Japanese bands, Illya is not very prolific and hasn't drawn much attention to themselves outside their home country.

But 11 years is a long time to hone your craft, and Illya's first new record in five years shows their fluent mastery of "Japanese hardcore". Three songs with all the signature characteristics in full effect: high-charge tempos, epic and inspiring riffs, desperate vocals, big gang-vocal choruses, blazing full-throttle guitar solos, powerful and memorable songwriting, tight musicianship, perfect recording. While the rest of the world turned, Illya was patiently analyzing and comprehending their Balance and Poison Cola records; they know Japanese hardcore like studied collectors, they play it like born naturals.

For those like me, who long for the days when this style of punk was a lot more common.....welcome to your new favorite band.
