The latest news:
New album from Unite Against Society
The latest reviews:
Day Drinker - Into an Early Grave
Rebellion Records - LP -
After few split albums came Day Drinker with their debut with 11 songs including one in German (Wohin du Gehst or one strophe from Child of Generation X) and Bruisers cover (These Two Boots of Mine). As I wrote in review before, in band are members from The Reapers, Nations on Fire, Crown Court or Malad and on guitar plays Jane who is also helping strongly in vocals. Most of the songs are really melodic streetpunk. Hardest piece from LP is called No Sobriety which is more shouted vocals and with perfect bass in the background. Musically everything fits well – guitar riffs/solos and mainly changing in male and female which is one of the best things from the album. Most of all I like songs Child of Generation X (about growing up in 80´s in some shitty place and how to find your own way) which is sung by Jane, then Rock Bottom (which reminds me songs from Burning Streets from Is It In Black And White? album), Away Days with perfect singalong or 28 Days. This album is perfect from the beginning to the end. Album is out in gatefold sleeve with dark comix drawings.Cœur Vaillant - Cœur Vaillants
Combate Brutal - EP -
Third EP from this French project is out again on Combate Brutal (which released also their debout, second mai EP was released on Nouvelle Aube Production) in two versions (grey and white cover, each limited to 100 copies). On EP, or better to say on side A you will find three songs called Couers Vaillants (Valiant Hearts), Le Trajet Extraordinaire D'un Loser (The Extraordinary Journey of a Loser) and J'irai te revoir au Paradis (We See Each Other in Paradise) which is cover from L’infanterie Sauvage J’irai revoir ma Normandie and it is dedicated to friend Alex (who used to play in Oeil Pour Oeil or Crane de Fer) and who died in 2021. To him is dedicated whole EP and inside is his short story from bass guitarist Jibého plus his photos. Songs were recorded back in 2021/2022. First one contains nice guitar solo and it is dark and gloomy anthem of all street warriors who are rising cans instead of swords to drink their sadness away and whose honor can not be sold. Second one is about melancholy/romantic time in underground and short rapprochement of two people. It is faster than first piece and it has nice choirs. As I wrote before third song is tribute to friend Alex. Album has very nice cover – pictures from Gusatv Doré – on the front side is archangel Michael who leads crusaders to Jerusalem (if you remember well this arcahgel with flag was in logo of Banner of Thugs) on back side is picture called Destruction of Leviathan. Inside is A2 paper with short story about Alex, thankslist, lyrics and few photos. Their first EP had really impact on me, second also (I didn´t have it physicaly but I heard it) and this third piece is perfect also – lyrics (even there is no historical topic as on previous releases) and music are top. I hope that this project did not end and we can look forward to some other songs in this format. Perfect! Check it on https://coeur-vaillant.bandcamp.com/album/c-urs-vaillants.
