Discography Cd, 3 Ep's + bonus tracks, 17 tracks in all. Fast uptempo and linear punk-hardcore from the Uk, kinda like a faster Discharge. Tight and well-produced stuff by ex-Boxed in, Sawn off members. Cactus records.

LECSA PUNK

yann — 2008-07-03T21:53:54Z

"Remalon" 16 tracks/ 41 minutes of classic Hungarian 100% punk, with a good production and socially aware lyrics. Sounds quite a bit like GBH, Varukers, Exploited, etc.

CHAOS ZZZ Ep (Subversive ways)

I saw these guys live and thought they were great. This Ep is good, but they sound more basic, more clich� than what I can remember. It's typical dis-beat/crust-punk straight outta Scandin… err wait, Saint Etienne, France. (Y.B.)

HAPPY BASTARDS/ KISMET HC split Ep (Fight for your mind)

yann — 2008-07-03T17:36:11Z

KISMET HC are a great British punk-Hc band. I believe the tracks on their split Cd-r were better, but these ones are still very good, too. HAPPY BASTARDS are another female fronted punk-Hc band from England. I like them alright, but something is missing. Maybe it's the vocals. Let's keep an eye out for them and wait for their next recordings. (Y.B.)

ARMED RESPONSE UNIT "no point calling the cops, they ain't coming" Ep (Land seed)

yann — 2008-06-29T15:40:42Z

Uk punk-hardcore. Nice stuff. It's pretty fast, angry, with negative lyrics. Not the best band I've heard in my life, but I saw they're touring France soon, and if they don't play too far from my house, I'll go see them. (Y.B.)

TACHED OUT Ep (Subversive ways)

yann — 2008-06-29T15:37:12Z

Ex-members of some famous Us crust-punk bands going for a more punk'n'roll approach (MOTORHEAD anyone ?). This ain't bad stuff, but I can't say it moved me much. Nice orange vinyl though. (Y.B.)
