DOWNTUNE IN!

Zozobra - Savage Masters (2013)

Zozobra is Caleb Scoffield's (Cave In, Old Man Gloom) latest project. While I was nowhere near drawn to them judging by their weird-sounding name as well as by their first two releases (2007's Harmonic Tremors and 2008's Bird of Prey) which both moved in an area that I find boring to say the least, their latest release Savage Masters that came out just a couple of months ago forced me to give them my full attention.

6 songs, 15 minutes. While this fact alone doesn't say much, let's see what you'll say after listening to this unstoppable stream of crusty and sludgy post-hardcore. This is the first release of 2013 that has excited me so much and it will most likely stay among the first places of the relative list at the end of the year. Feel free to check this incredible EP out, and then grab a vinyl copy from Brutal Panda Records, while it is still in stock.

Vain Herätys, perkele!

I came across Herätys just a tad before they announced their split in February 2012. They were started as a side project of members of Skitkids and Unkind, two of today's hardcore/d-beat heroes from Sweden and Finland respectively. Based on Malmö and Uppsala, they are considered swedish, but all their lyrics are in finnish. Since 2008, they have put out three vinyl releases (two 7"'s and one 12") while they have given destructive live shows all over northern Europe. According to the band, last December's Näen Punaista 7" was their last ever release, although I do pray they could at some point decide to get back together, even temporarily.
Herätys are a case of worship or hate. Their absolutely direct way of delivering their kerosene-infused material leaves no room for misinterpretation; this is raw and naked punk, inherited as is from the d-beat kings Discharge and taken several steps further, with the razor-sharp lyrics being the topping. If raw feeling and unleashed hardcore sound is your game then you'll definitely feel at home. And the best thing you can do is check out and then hunt down their short (only 35 minutes in total) but demolishing discography.

Oblivians - Desperation (2013)

Eric Friedl, Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber had called it quits 16 years ago to go into other projects (personal or not); including South Filthy, Jack Oblivian & the Cigarillos, Knaughty Knights, Tennessee Tearjerkers, Greg Oblivian & the Tip-Tops, Reigning Sound and Bad Times, among others. Scepticism is something given here, as in every case of a "lengendary" get-together after such a long time. And this happens because, in many cases, the only motive is none other than to recreate past glories and cash on them today as much as possible. Thankfully, this is not the case here. Apart from the occasional reunion shows the last years, Oblivians are back with a new record bearing the old familiar feeling, yet with a slightly new approach. The "dirt" has been somewhat tuned down (as opposed to epics like Soul Food and Popular Favorites, that is) but the Oblivians edge is still definitely present, now in a more mature and substantial form. Enjoyable foot-tapping garage rock drenched in bluesy and country humidity is what you get; and make no mistake about it. We're already almost in the middle of the year, so it's not too soon to talk about a possible best rock n'roll record of 2013. So be sure to check Desperation out sometime soon and, while you're at it, kill a punk for rock n'roll.

HOAX

I'm a faggot, you told me so.
I'm a faggot, you let me know.
And when I die, you'll know why.

Yes, I'm nothing. I'm dirt. I'm one with the bottom. But you are too. Our only difference is you fail to realize it. And your blind intolerance, your mindless fundamentalism, your political correctness do a shit job at replacing that realization.

Hoax emerged three years ago in Western Massachusetts and do they look destined for great things! After a demo tape in 2010, they have released three self-titled 7" vinyl EPs, all of which are compiled in one single 12" LP (s/t as well) which was just released. It's just amazing how a new band moving in the same old "hardcore punk" genre can give freshness and new edge to the sound. Hoax carry a heavy-as-fuck dirt in their sound while they have achieved a huge notoriety about their violently energetic live shows, where a mad microphone-bearing bald man keeps hitting his head with it until it bleeds while he grabs every chance of bringing it on with the audience. Definitely a fresh touch to the scene, seeing them live somehow is the next thing I want to do.

Belated obsessions: Los Tromos - Boooo (2005)

I've been stumbling on the Los Tromos name for years now and I always wanted to check them out, but never got around to it. This changed when Fuzztastic Planet 2013 was announced; this gave me the motive I needed. I got hold of their 2005 Boooo album and, to put it mildly, I was blown away.
This is the definition of cool music which gets even cooler by the relaxed and "easy" way these guys are performing it. The genre is basically rock n'roll, but the band makes a habit of crossing over to other areas, be it surf, alternative, garage, americana; at times they even show some postrock/shoegaze wannabes how it's done. Boooo's 38 minutes flow almost unnoticeably, as one great tune follows another. This is an album that can haunt your lazy summers for a lifetime, an album that speaks directly to your mind, despite the fact that most of the songs are instrumental. Don't make the mistake I've been doing up until now; that is putting off discovering Boooo, even eight whole years after its release. And join me in praying that Los Tromos will be back together in a more permanent manner and will offer us more great stuff in the future.

Top 10 albums of 2012

I know this is a custom for the beginning of the year, but it's just now that I've realized I never posted my 10 favourite albums of last year. As you've probably noticed, this is not the only sign of this blog's retardation so you can rest assured that this is nothing out of the ordinary and there's nothing to worry about. Yet.
Off we go then with the thrilling countdown: *drum rolls*

10. Black Breath - Sentenced to Life

These American newcomers (sort of, they've been around since 2007) demonstrate casually how one can successfully shuffle the classic Swedish deathmetal (some would say "death n'roll") sound with a hardcore edge and a metal topping; and all that on their second full-length release. Listen like you did when you were 16.

9. Nightstalker - Dead Rock Commandos

Yes, stoner is dead; but if today it is represented by bands like this one, give me more zombies! Nightstalker keep on delivering a steady natural flow of groove and catchy guitar riffing. If your game is innovation and high culture, save yourself the time and effort and stay away. This is dirty and original rock n'roll feeling, what you see is what you get, and similar clichés.

8. The Nomads - Solna

I don't think I can find anything new to say about these Swedish garage old-timers that hasn't already been said. With a constant presence for almost 20 years and after an 11-year break, they returned in 2012 like they didn't age one day. Solna is definitely not their best work, but it stands with excess decency among their discography; something that automatically means that it easily beats the vast majority of the garage shit out there.

7. Terrible Feelings - Shadows

Another Swedish miracle that hit me out of nowhere. Moving generally within the melodic-punk/power-pop area, they take their Wipers experiences and blend them with beautiful and inspiring melodies dressed with a modest and humble attitude that you just can't help but love. And Manuela Iwansson's tender but deep voice is a basic factor.

6. Imperial State Electric - Pop War

Nicke Andersson's done it again! While his latest personal project Imperial State Electric's debut s/t album back in 2010 sounded to me a bit "little" and numb, Pop War marks his re-enthronement as the leader of the scandinavian rock n'roll movement (if we have to call it something). Nicke digs even deeper into his musical memories and keeps on paying tribute to his childhood heroes, offering us an enjoyable rock n'roll record.

5. Thanasis Papakonstantinou & Giannis Charoulis - Maganies

For more than 20 years, Thanasis Papakonstantinou has been taking Greek folk and traditional music and giving it new life through experimentation, always with utmost respect. Giannis Charoulis is, what almost everyone thinks, today's leading Cretan singer. Their discographic collaboration was anticipated for years and it is finally here. While many have criticized this album for poor or not adequate orchestration (especially judging by the standards Thanasis Papakonstantinou and his band have set), this fact doesn't take away the songs' intensity and beauty.

4. Gallon Drunk - The Road Gets Darker from Here

Gallon Drunk is a band with great history, being around for almost 25 years, while its members have been involved with numerous projects and collaborations, namely Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and the Scapegoats. Sadly and ignorantly, I always considered them somewhat as a second league Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, but I guess it's never too late as with their latest album they've gained more than just my attention. The Road Gets Darker from Here is groovy, dirty, artistic all at the same time, all with just the right dosage.

3. Turbonegro - Sexual Harassment

I cannot begin to express my excitement when this record fell in my hands. Disappointed by the sleaze/glam path thay had taken (especially with Retox and Party Animals, although the latter is not entirely bad) and the news of Hank von Helvete leaving the band, I was happily blown away by their return to their Apocalypse Dudes days. Tony Sylvester not only proves to be a great replacement for Hank, but he also gives new energy and edge to the band, resurrecting the infamous Turbonegro death-punk sound.

2. Ty Segall - Twins

Ty Segall is a thing of the '00s. He emerged as a solo artist in 2008, and has been considerably active ever since. He started off moving within the general lo-fi garage/rock n'roll sound, but he has greatly evolved since then. While this overproductivity of his does not guarantee a constant level of quality, there are times when it sounds like we've struck gold. In 2012, he was involved in three projects; Ty Segall Band's Slaughterhouse, his collaboration with White Fence Hair, and his solo album Twins. While the first two didn't personally strike me as something exceptional, the latter nailed me to the wall with its fuzz-driven guitars and pure garage attitude.

1. Burning Love - Rotten Thing to Say

Burning Love's base is hardcore punk featuring ex-members of Cursed and Our Father. While I had never got a sniff of their great 2010 debut Songs for Burning Lovers, you can say that Rotten Thing to Say really got my attention. This basically is pure rock n'roll with an unstoppable hardcore edge making you want to stagedive from the top of your refridgerator to your kitchen floor.
