hell yes!.. new material from raw hc punk freaks 24/24 who are already familiar to the regular readers here.. those who still don't know them, well I'm sure they will soon, because they take it seriously as it seems: this is their 2nd demo in relatively short time, they had plenty of gigs behind them lately, some even abroad like those in Romania for example and this summer they will even play on mighty More Noise For Life festival in Czech R. among others..
but let's get back and focus on this tape which was released by the end of October last year on Sors Fintora, small diy label from Finland which is also responsible for their debut demo already reviewed here on crucified freedom.. title of the record is "Krízisből Krízisb" which translated means something like "from crisis to crisis" and already from this you can get some picture what this band is all about, they don't have to use much imagination and make fancy dark lyrics because they are living their crisis in ordinary everyday life, and they are spiting their anger and dissatisfaction towards system, state, government, false values in society and capitalism throughout this 11 under the minute sharp attacks.. music is hardcore punk, but this raw, fast and uncompromising in tupa-tupa style, dancing on thin line between punk and crust.. all songs are simple and most of the time fast as hell but they sure are effective and will force you to bang your head or tap your foot on the floor at least, you can't stay still and indifferent while listening this..
and damn, there is something special in song "Iga", this freaky raw bass line in the middle of the song or something, I don't know, but it will give you chills all the way down your spine while blasting from your speakers.. I already mentioned, while writing about their 1st demo, that something in their music strangely reminds me on those latin american bands from 90s and here I also found why, although just in traces but just hear those backing vocals in "Ruszki Zabla" which sounds like they fell of from some crustcore act from Mexico or hardcore band from Brazil, or just check contagious, almost melodic "Bukott" which also transmits similar vibes..
anyhow, all songs are highly energetic and just by listening this I can imagine myself screaming some of those refrains at their live gig, even I don't speak or understand a word of Hungarian..
tape comes with simple and "by the book" made covers with playlist, band members and short thanks list on one side and on the other are lyrics, which are on Hungarian but if you're curious enough on their bandcamp page you can find short explanations of them on English.. all this is pressed on glossy paper and this red/brown color prevails the whole tape because labels/stickers on cassette are also in this color which all together sure looks nice.. same material is on both side of the tape and I must mention that the sound on it seems somehow even more massive and wild than this on online release..
I like this tape and band a lot, they just make me happy because I'm so glad that somebody still plays this kind of punk and I need more stuff like this in my life, that's for sure.. if you want your punk sincere, unpolished, angry and wild this one is for you..
tapes are still available, I believe, but was released only in 50 pieces so hurry up and try to contact the band or label for your copy..
