Dirty Job - The World´s Decay

Timebomb Records/Hellnation/Subculture for Life - LP -


1329_dirty_job.jpgDebut LP of Italian band called Dirty Job, which was founded on band called Stanley, is called The World´s Decay and it contains ten songs together. Six them are in English and four in Italian (Il Tuo Cammino – Your Path, Ciò che so – What I Want, Non Mollare Mai – Never Give Up and Extrema Ratio – Extrem Ratio). Rescpectively this is their second release, because they have already release a demo in 2022 but just online. The band plays in four but they have two guitars and they called themselves “Rough Oi”. Yes it is rougher compared to other Italian bands but for me it is not so rough, some songs have perfect guitar (just check Cold Heart about the world´s decay, beginning of We Don´t Want You Here, with nice singalong or Just a Boot Boy). Lyrics are about harder life in the today´s world if you are not born with silver spoon in mouth, about cult, brotherhood and music. Italian songs fits more to the band from my point of view in melody and singalong, just check refrain in Il Tuo Cammino, where band sings together or Non Mollare Mai. They have also significant bassguitar which I like. Mostly it is in middle rhythm but they have also on faster piece called Noise. It reminds me early stuff from Oldfashioned Ideas. LP is limited to 300 copies with lyrics and many band photos inside. You can check it here https://dirtyjob.bandcamp.com/album/worlds-decay but the songs are in different order.

Hotza - Estatu

Timebomb/Tough Ain´t Enough Records - LP -


1328_hotza.jpgHotza (Cold) is band from Basque country (Bilbao) which play in three pieces and this is their second release (after the demo EP from 2022). LP is out due to cooperation of Timebomb Records and Tough Ain´t Enough Records and it is limited to 300 copies on black vinl. Together there is 6 songs in their mother tongue called Esnatu (Wake Up), Mesfidati (Distrust), Droga Eta Txatarra (Drugs and Scrap), Hotza (Cold), Skinhead and Hondoratzen (Sinking). The band is heavily inspired by French Oi! bands from 80´s so the sound is heavy, vocals harder, bass is very significant and in songs Hotza and Hondoratzen (which is the best song for me) you will hear saxophone. The guitar plays some decent solos like in Esnatu, end of Mesfidati or beginning of Hotza which is really cold and icy. Musically it reminds me early Ultimo Asalto stuff. Inside is paper with lyrics and many band photos. There is also short thankslist and whole cover is done in old fashion ways. Again if you can´t get physically to the LP it can be checked on https://hotzalaoi.bandcamp.com/album/esnatu.
