Margo Tea Company is a punk rock band from Istanbul. Formed in 2004. The members of the band are also football fans, especially their song "Pig In The Middle" is dedicated to football. And when i mean football, i mean FOOTball, not the game that big american dudes running around in tight pants. They sound a bit like Against Me! actually, and they admit that it is their biggest influence.
My Flag Is Crumpled / MoiFlagSmyat / МойФлагСмят is a crust band from Russia. The band is formed in 2004. Their lyrics are mostly based on social themes and politics but they don't sound like the millions of other anarcho crust bands. This release includes the songs they've made in 4 years.
Screamo once more. From İstanbul. They were active from 2005 to 2007. This is the re-release of their discography cd from Pati Patu Prima Records. One of the most important bands in turkish screamo history. I'm not a fan of that kind of stuff, but i really like this one. If you are into screamo this is a must.
Screamo. İstanbul. 2007 and still going on? No. Includes ex members of bands like Noisy Sins Of The Insect, The Bitmap Workshop. The name comes from Stjepan Filipović. A yugoslav partisan who was executed in WW2.
Beastie Boys is the best hip hop band.They are playing different types of music from 1979 but there is a point.They began as a hardcore punk band and they are always in hardcore punk mentality.So I think this album is important for this scene.Its the first album of beastie boys and this album got songs that maximal 2 minutes.This is hardcore and this is fast.I like this album. if youre not listen it download it.
Nuclear Mutants is a hardcore punk band with female vocals. They are from cyprus. I guess they were active during the mid 90's. I really don't know anything about the band and I couldn't find any info on the net either. All I could find is this interview. I came across to this demo tape on soulseek and loved it. The music is really good. If you know anything about the band, please share.-2009-front.jpg)
Morne is a post apocalyptic crust band from USA, including some members of Disrupt & Filth Of Mankind. Some people call this band as the "Amebix of the 21st century" and i agree them in a way. Warprayer is a metallic brutal crust band from England. Two great bands.
Truth We Defend is a band that plays 90's style ushc, was formed in late 2005 in Istanbul by some dudes who are involved in turkish hc punk scene.
Spinners is the first all-female punk band in Turkey, founded in '88. in Ankara. This demo tape is released in '91. Their song "La la la" is also in the "Sevdasız Hayat Ölümdür 7" which is released in '94 by "tian an men" records and includes some turkish bands like Radical Noise, Necrosis, Headbangers, S.A.D., etc.. Spinners' music can be described as lo-fi anarcho punk. There is also a cover version The Exploited song Maggie. And one last thing, all the songs in this demo tape are also released on a split cd with the american punk band X Possibles.
Skaven is a rat like warrior in the wargame Warhammer and this is all i know about the name's meaning. I'm not much into that kinda stuff so i'm not curious that much, if you are curious just google it. This band existed for a very short amount of time, "95-97". The members went on with Lachrymose and Asunder. Lachrymose could not survive long and Asunder is huge now, bla bla. There are two tracks in this 7", Severed and Flowers Of Flesh And Blood. Each track is about 7 minutes. And reminds me of bands like Amebix, Axegrinder, Deviated Instinct and stuff like that. The lyrics are depressive, the bass sound is great. Maybe that's because they have two bass players.
Malazlar is a 3-piece hardcore punk/melodic crust band from Turkey, all their lyrics are in turkish except for one song, and they mostly sing about politics, the sound quality is also great. This demo cd-r is self released in 2008 and this is the band's first release. Thanks to Onur (bass/vocals of the band) for this post.
Live record of the underrated norwegian hardcore legends. The sound quality is not quite fine but who cares anyway. If you haven't heard about them before you are missing a great gem in scandinavian hardcore history. GRAB THEIR FIRST 7" by clicking here if you have no idea what they are about. Also there is a cover version of the well-known The Dicks song "hate the police".
