The latest news:
New album from Unite Against Society
The latest reviews:
Razorblade - The Old Guard
Rebellion Records - EP -
These are four brand new songs from Razorblade after ten years. This time the line-up is five-piece (four of which are original members) and Wouter just sings (but he is written on the insert as well as on guitar). A video clip has been released for the title song, which you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGU1GD_5kQQ. Of all the songs on the album, this is the only one in English. The other songs are in Dutch: Anti-Artistiek (Anti-artists), Yuppies and Wij Zijn Terug? (We Are Back?). The EP is limited to 500 copies (250 black and 250 silver) and the CD to 300 copies. The first two albums from Razorblade (Spreading Fear and Skinheads are Back) were ass-kicking and it totally ripped off everyone around me years ago. Hardness, rough singing and no compromises. The band gradually added melodies and tried to sing also in German. Both come together in the new songs... The Old Guard is an anthem for aging skins/punks, who still know how to do it and go out with their friends to the city and party and remember the old times, but also hail those who are no longer with us. The second song Anti-Artistiek and the third song Yuppies are probably most in the spirit of the early Razorblade, both musically and lyrically (simple hard music or contempt for yuppies). In almost every song you will hear a nice guitar solo (especially in the first and last). Inside is a paper with photos from the reunion concert and from the recording + lyrics on the other side. The record is released physically on November 14th, so if you like this old guard, check it out, because it's worth it.Thirteen Turn - Bokkenrijder
Smith and Miller Records - LP -
Thirteen Turn is a new English/Dutch band (they have been playing since 2023) and this is their debut album, whose name means something like “Goat Rider”, which are witches from Dutch legends. They also caused a few witch hunts in the 18th century. The band is a five-piece, with Dutch singer Jilles on vocals and second guitar played by Rat, who you know from Close Shave, Wasted Life, Section 5 or The Rough Cuts. The album contains a total of 12 songs in English and the playing time is about 38 minutes. Musically it's faster and more aggressive, the vocals are more screamed and two guitars can be heard right from the first song Not Enough Punches, which is about how humanity is infested with envy and generally bad qualities and wants to slap everything in a heap, especially the internet pest, to the last song Ungodly Oath (which is a kind of outro with recitative). The band is not afraid of singalongs (for example Close the Door, Speed with an absolutely great guitar at the beginning of the song or The Streets Where I Belong). There are also touches of HC (for example Feed Me, where the band simultaneously roars wonderfully in the chorus, but also complements it or Last Rights). Otherwise, the band has great merch and T-shirts with three different motifs are available. The LP will be accompanied by a paper with lyrics and a large photo of the band on the other side + a thank you note. The album will be physically released on November 28, but you can pre-order it now. You can listen to the teaser single Wasn´t Born to Lose (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKyQiEe2Uw4), which will give you an idea of what the band sounds like. For me, it's great, harder stuff, but not afraid of catchy melodies.
