Unite Against Society are going to release their fourth album in DIY style on digital platforms but also on LP.

On Demons Run Amok will be out EP from Dutch band Bent out of Shape.

The split CD of two experienced bands (this is the seventh album for Heroes and the eighth for True Aggression) is released as a CD on OPOS Records. Each band is represented here with six songs, with each band also playing one cover of the other. In the case of Heroes it is Heretics and Barbarians (Ketzer und Barbaren) and in the case of True Agreesion it is Geistiger Terror (originally Andlig Terrorism). In one song from each band there is also a guest singer from the other, so in Heroes Miesl sings in We Fight to Win and in the case of True Aggression it is Johan in We Are Still Here. Heroes have all their songs in English, while TA have them all in German (but in the last We Are Still Here there is a Swedish and English passage). Both bands also play in the same line-up – four members and two guitars. The songs from Heroes are more rock and the singer's voice is higher. There is even an acoustic song Freedom. Lyrically, it's a classic - lying media (Fake Information), illusion of freedom (Freedom), position in society where the family wants you, but you don't (When We Unite), etc... Musically, for me, it's definitely Fake Information, where there are really great solos and the singer shows his range. At first listen, the style of Heroes didn't really suit me, but as I listen to it again and again, I start to like it. TA play faster, harder and it has more punk verve and drive, and right from the first Stolz und Stark they pour it into you (it's not a cover of Ultima Thule) with a great rhythm and guitar, the second track Get Woke is about the phenomenon of today - are you a man, a woman or an animal... who knows? 1000 Volt is about the god of thunder who rages over Europe, Total Egal 2 (with a ska rhythm in the chorus but a nice fast tempo in the verse) is about how we don't care where someone ranks us and what they think of us. In the last thing Johan from Heroes shows again the great range of his voice. The booklet is a classic – lyrics, photos, thank you note. Great.

The sixth EP of this German band, which plays in a three-piece line-up, is released as a ten-inch (145 yellow versions and 396 black) in cooperation between the German (Try and Stop Me) and the American label (Oi!tism Records). Previous releases were released by Rebellion or Oi! the Nische Records, for example. The album contains four songs in English - Wild Boar Rock'n'Roll, Bad Dream, Min Fru Har En Katt and Fatherland. The band has three members and, unlike the first releases, only singer and guitarist Lenz remained. The band has a totally Chiswick sound – a metal-sounding guitar with a light booster that plays nice leads, plus singalong refrain – for example in Fatherland or Min Fru Har En Katt, where the guys from Sabotage help out in the chorus (basic words like beer, coffee, short hair and that my wife has a cat :)) and the whole song is about how they were invited to Sweden for a joint event (where Östra Aros also played). Lyrically, it's about a hunter who wants to hunt wild boars (like the band :)) should be damn careful, because the cards can turn pretty quickly (opening Wild Boar Rock´n´Roll), then about the hometown that turned gray (Bad Dream) or about how the band still has something to say after five years of playing (Fatherland), which is probably the slowest and in a way the saddest song on the album. The entire album has a playing time of around 11 and a half minutes and you can listen to it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IW0HDRA16A. Inside you will find a paper with lyrics, a thank you note and a bunch of photos. Still Defiant have been playing a straightforward style since the beginning of their career, which has balls and will make you sway to the rhythm.
