Infekcja is an anarcho crust band from Poland. Formed in '91 under the name Krwawa Uryna Jana Pawla II (Bloody Urine Pope John Paul II) and quickly changed that awful name. Recorded their 1st demo in '94 and released too many records till then. And one important thing about the band: they don't give interviews. Influenced by bands like; Rattus, Dropdead, Hiatus, Homomilitia, Amebix, Doom, Nausea, G-ANX, they mostly sing about personal struggles in that 7".
Colored Rice Men is a hardcore punk band from Japan. Formed by the members of the mighty Lip Cream. This is perfect japanese hardcore with a spastic saxophone player, yeah you heard it. Lip Cream, Japanese HC and saxophone, does that need more explanation?
The title pretty much sums it up. It's a compilation by political punk bands from Belarus. Not only "punk" bands though. There are too many genres involved, from grindcore to folk punk. Includes 24 bands and 37 songs, comes with a diy patch of 375 crew. Some of the bands in the cd are; AntiGlobalizator, Pet Nihil, Appleshout, Hate To State, Follow The Sun. If you are interested in political punk from anywhere in the world, this is one of the cd's you are going to love.
I consider this tape as one of the most important compilations ever made in Swedish scene. Being released in '85 and includin' bands like Mob 47, The Bristles, Trojne, Sound Of Disaster, Agoni, Total Egon, etc makes it the perfect milestone. Don't think much, if you are into any kind of swedish hc punk, you must listen to that.
Arrebato is a hardcore punk / crust band from Argentina. Arrebato means "sudden punch in the face" in spanish slang. They're formed in '06 in Moron (yeah, a great name for a city) / Argentina. They've released one demo and two EP's if i'm not mistaken. I'm going to post their first demo here. There are 4 songs and it's about 6 minutes long. Their music reminds me of the italian legends Raw Power. Their other influences are; Discharge, Anti-Cimex, Wolfpack, Victims, Ratos De Porao, etc.
Bombstrike is a metallic d-beat crust band from Stockholm / Sweden. They're formed in '97 and released several demos, and records. This EP is released in '07. There are 4 songs and it's less than 8 minutes. One of the songs is a cover by the death/crust band Oral. The sound quality is pretty good, neither polished nor sucky, it's just the way it should be. Some people think Bombstrike is better than Skitsystem in that "metallic d-beat crust" thing, i think they both are great. Especially the riffs in the 2nd song Kvasiorkor, are truly amazing.
Here is another band from Oulu / Finland. Banzai Warmaster plays crust, but they are also influenced heavily by some metal bands like; Venom, Sabbat, Abigail, Hellhammer, Holy Moses, etc. This demo is released in '09, and it's the bands' first release. So grab it if you play some baphomet pictured records in your room.
Axebastard is a crust band from Oulu / Finland. They play the hellish crust which some of us would like to call as "stenchcore". Like their name, their music is a mix of Hellbastard and Axegrinder and similar bands. There are some death metal moments here and there too. If you like apocalyptic crust, you'll like that one too.
F-Minus is a hardcore punk / thrashcore band from California. They've been around during '95 - '04. Their songs are quite short, fast and aggressive. And their music reminds me of Nausea, especially the male/female vocal duo. Crack Rock Steady 7 is just Leftöver Crack with some more people. They play their regular crack rocksteady / crust music as usual, not much ska in that split though.
