MINOR THREAT

















"idem"
Year:  1981
Country:  US
City:  Washington
Label:  Dischord
Format:  CD , LP
Tracks:  24
Time:  40 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Hardcore Punk












Formed in 1980 and discontinued in 1983, Minor Threat is considered one of the most influential hardcore punk bands ever. They released one full-length and three EPs. After breaking up, frontman Ian MacKaye resurfaced in Fugazi. Originally released in 1981 as two 7" Ep's the first album of Minor Threat is a true classic in the punk-rock history.  Formed in 1980 and discontinued in 1983, Minor Threat is considered one of the most influential american hardcore punk bands of the early 80s. They released one full-length and three EPs. After breaking up, frontman Ian MacKaye resurfaced in Fugazi in 1983 and continued his work with the prestigious label "Dischord Records". Minor Threat and few bands more (Bad Brains, Teen Idles, SOA or Government Issue) were part of a small wave of new kids and bands in washington DC, many of whom were not into drugs and alcohol. Some of the bands made mention of this in their lyrics, and Minor Threat’s song "Straight Edge" coined the phrase that is now used to describe a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle. Ian MacKaye considers straight edge to be just his personal ideology and doesn't even like the straight edge movement or judge non-straight edge people. But few years after straight edge became as a movement and 80´s later appeared an extreme group called "hard-line" which its members were vegans and radically intolerants with other kind of way of life. Frankly strictly musical Minor Threat is not an exceptional band in aspect, its style is very simple and almost amateur. A kind of play punk-rock faster with melodical voice, but even in Washingtong there was a band very more interesting at all: Bad Brains. In another coast of atlanthic were the second punk wave with bands really innovate like Discharge or The Exploited. The most important element in Minor Threat was not the music but the new ideas and new way of life in the rock´n´roll culture since its born in 1957.

RAMONES were an American punk rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band was a major influence on the punk rock movement in both the United States and, perhaps to a greater extent, the United Kingdom.  All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", although none of them were related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell concert and disbanded. Only a little more than eight years after the breakup, all three of the band's founding members - lead singer (and, at the time of founding, drummer) Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone - had died.  Their only record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold was the compilation album Ramones Mania. However, recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now mentioned in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. In 2002, the Ramones were ranked the second-greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only the Beatles. On March 18, 2002, the Ramones—the three founders and drummers Tommy and Marky Ramone—were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2011, the group was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award

The band started in 1979 by four teenagers with a passion for the emerging punk hardcore community, but quickly they start also to get intesrest for gothic music, death rock and post-punk.

This is the third TSOL album and fuck yes, one of the best but the best. The work get brilliant similarities to Misfits, Danzig and Samhain, keeping their punk roots with an strong gothic voice, which also can to remind to The Damned in its more goth period. Perhaps slower and less hardcore than their debut, but highly recommended for those all followers of the band.

"revenge"
Year:  1986
Label:  Restless
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  10
Time:  34 min.

Fourth TSOL studio album and the last one of their golden era. After this "revenge" it came two attempts to mainstream heavy metal industry entitled: "hit and run" (1988) and "strange love" (1990), both a complete commercial failure. This "revenge" coud be a balance between their typical goth punk plus some hard-rock influences, and the album become really original and interesting.

After eight years of complete discographic silence, the californian veterans punk rockers attack us again with new album. This time there is again that mix of goth punk which remind classic bands as: The Damned, with some pop influences, whith few distorted guitards and clear and melodic voices too. It's no sure to describe this one as a goth punk album, in the 80's style, but it's something like that. This is more related to optimistyc and positive pop attitude. The band added in some songs even electronic keyboard and piano. But the final result is more than satisfactory, not the typical TSOL album, but good anyway. Highly recommended

Label:  Eclectic

Just about the end of 2003, between Agropontino and the province of Rome, three lads start playing together. Their names are Fasano (guitar), Giorgioni (vocals) and Erkz (drums). After few months the four take up the name TSUBO and, despite the short repertoire, they make their first live appearances without neglecting the rehearsal room in anticipation of the band’s debut recording that’ll eventually happen in November: "Promo 2005". The band still keeps on playing throughout Italy as well as composing and taking part in various compilations... At the beginning of 2011, the bass player Gux leaves the band and Manuel joins it in October as the new bassist in its full capacity. In March 2012 TSUBO enter at "The Outer Sound studios" of Rome (Necrodeath, Ephel Duat, Hour of Penance…) to record the new album titled "con cognizimiento di causa", featured 24 tracks and many musician guests. The album was mastered in USA at the "Visceral studio) by Scott Hull and released at the end of October 2012 through record label "Eclectic Productions". During these years, TSUBO shared the stage with bands like: Agathocles, Brutal Truth, Fuck The Facts, Magrudergrind, Misery Index, Nasum, Rotten Sound, Birdflesh and many more. They sound some kind of metalized grindcore, with short and fast songs with inteligent lyrics related to social issues, politics, etc.

THE ACCÜSED


























"grinning like undertaker"
Year:  1990
Country:
City:  Seattle
Label:  Rough & Justice
Format:  CD , LP
Tracks:  14
Time:  36 min.
Lyrical themes:  horror, b-movies
Genre:  rock
Style:         Hardcore
















Fusing hardcore, punk rock and heavy metal into a furiously thrashing hybrid, Seattle's The Accused invariably described to their style as "splattercore," a reference to their chief lyrical inspirations - b-serie horror films and comic-book violence. It was a far cry from the political leanings of vocalist Blaine Cook's previous band, the Fartz, but it gave them a definite crossover appeal among both punk and metal audiences. With their roots in hardcore, the Accused presaged the rise of the Seattle scene, but never fit into the grunge movement that sprang up around them. Some of their key personnel went on to join the "grunge metal" band Gruntruck, but in their own lifespan, The Accused were a different enough beast that they weren't able to capitalize on all the attention afforded the Northwest underground. The Accüsed disbanded in 1992 and come back in 2003 until nowadays.

"Martha splatterhead's maddest
stories ever told"
Year:  1988
Country:  US

Label:  We Bite
Format:  CD , LP
Tracks:  19
Time:  39 min.
Lyrical themes:  horror, b-movies
Genre:  rock
Style:        Hardcore













Perhaps not their best album but the most famous, and well know for the majority. Obsviously the artwork (cover, back and inside) are an excellents illustrations which have kept with the pass of the years. Musically this is a fistful songs of typical american hardcore punk from the 80's decade. Faster and crudest than other bands as Minor Threat or Black Flag, but simply hardcore. Good hardcore of course!
