Genre:  rock

four-piece band started in 2013 in Hallifax, UK. Their recorded a debut album in 2015 and their second album in 2017. Female fronted band strongly inspired by punk, crust and thrash bands such as: Discharge, Wolfbrigade or Amebix, with politically charged lyrics related to: anarchism, pacifism, internationalism, animal liberation and similar subjects. Powerful and heavy sound, with that typical d-beat rhytm on drums, distorted bass and shrill voice. Just ten song to discharge tons of rage, protest and noise. Highly recommended for those lovers of the genre.

Time:  33 min.

Genre:  rock

five piece band from California, started in 2012 with the goal to make grindcore rich in many other influences from jazz to prog rock to math rock or punk. Lyrically the band writes also intelligent and complicated songs related to subjects such as: social issues, politics, critical thinking, community, positive reinforcement or personal emotions. If you like them or not, is a choice, and to recommend them or not, is also truly difficult to say. But the true is they make a big effort to be creative, original and different of the rest of grindcore bands. They recordings are avaible completly free in their Bandcamp and they work hard to record songs and more songs almost every month. According to the band: "our big source of inspiration are grindcore and Frank Zappa". Listen to them or not... this is your choice.

FUCKED AND BOUND

"suffrage"
Year:  2018
Country:  US
City:  Seattle
Label:  Atomic action
Format:  LP
Tracks:  13
Time:  24 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Hardcore

Born in a warehouse in South Lake Union, Fucked & Bound delivers Seattle hardcore thats built to spank thru. With their album "suffrage", the band slams forth thirteen songs in twenty-four minutes in an acid bath of pure sonic fury. Brickwalled and claustrophobic, these tracks seethe over feminism, anarchism, and the pitfalls of industry, to ask, what is the cost of good living? The Rudimentary Peni lurch of the closing track, “Abuse of Registry,” indicates that this band has more to say/write in the coming years and does not intend upon staying silent. Mungo further develops her style in this song, adding a crusty tinge that not only recalls Filth in their heyday, but also the singular vocal styling of Seattle’s own Skarp. The versatility found on this record is unlike most hardcore punk records in 2018. Rather than sticking to one style and becoming a genre band in an era where genre bands are succeeding at high levels, Fucked And Bound take stylistic chances within the d-beat and punk universe without sounding the least bit contrived. The overall aesthetic of the band is polemic, divisive, visceral and unapologetic. 2018 is begging for more bands like this. Remember when every asshat you knew said that fascist political atmospheres breed the best punk bands? Well, fuck that, cuz it’s escapist bullshit.
