Review: PARTiYA - Assholeraisers

PARTiYA - Assholeraisers (Digital)
http://www.primitive-distro.blogspot.com

This is a crust/grind band from Belarus and they are very active with releases and tours, they have played in several countries since 2007 and they have a lot of free to download stuff on the primitive distro blog. This album was released in april 2012 and it's so fucking raw. They sing in russian but there is translated lyrics enclosed and explanations as well. PARTiYA have released a split with Agathocles, and that use to say much about how the band sound. I really like how desperate Mysh sounds when he sing. I hope PARTiYA can make it all the way to Sweden in the future, because it would be fucking great to see them live. I have admit it before, I am not the best to review grind influenced music, but fuck that, I like PARTiYA, and if you are into this raw crust/grind will you like them too. Download this from Primitive Distro, you will get 20 tracks with ok sound quality. 

PARTiYA are interviewed in Schizo Fanzine #8, read a part of the interview here

Review: The Frenzy of tongs

The Frenzy of tongs -
The piper at the gates of dumb (CD)
http://myspace.com/thefrenzyoftongs
(SDM(UK) Musick)

I don't know a shit about this band or the members, but my first expression is that they are complete mad. I get Toy Dolls and Nofx vibes even if the music isn't just like that. It's more straight on fast punkrock. Anyway, it's charming and I think that they will be something special live. I also get some american college movie vibes, like Good Charlotte and stuff like that but this is harder and like 1000 times better, more like Sloppy Seconds and Screeching Weasel. I really like this and will listen to this record more times.

Reviews: 2 releases from Underground Movement

Wolfbeast Destroyer - Far from grace (digital)
www.myspace.com/wolfbeastdestroyer
(http://www.underground-movement.net)

I read that Wolfbeat Destroyer are influenced by swedish bands, like Disfear and Wolfpack. And it's easy to hear those influences. It's traditional dirty D-beat with raw vocals. If you like Disgust, and in particular their album Brutality of war will you like Wolfbeast Destroyer. These tracks will be released as a 10" vinyl in 3 different colours. 8 tracks of dirty D-beat, it won't be better and I think Wolfbeast Destroyer deserve much cred, don't be surprised if there will be an interview in Schizo #9 

Twisted Mass - S/t (digital)
twistedmass.bandcamp.com
(http://www.underground-movement.net)

This Dublin band just explode with furious crust and if I have to compare with other bands would I choose Kvoteringen, DS-13 and Tragedy. This is really high class crust. Underground Movement seems to release lot's of good stuff, visit their site. I got this as a digital version, but they will release it as a MCD and it's 5 fantastic tracks. How can a band from such a beautiful country as Ireland sound so fucking angry? There is occasionally some insinuation of metal and I don't use to say this often but according to my opinion is the metal just a boost.

Review: Agamenon Project - The masters aren't enough to us

Agamenon Project - The masters aren't enough to us (digital)
http://agamenonproject.wordpress.com
(whocareszine@gmail.com)

This is a one man band with lot's of releases in his bag. This is all about noisy grindcore, and even if I like grindcore will I probably not be the right man to review it. But I will give it a try. Agamenon Project have relased splits with bands like: Agathocles, Slaughtergrave, Rancid Fles and many more. The first time I heard this digital album was my thought that it was too noisy. But when I listen now is it just perfect. And it's far from all the boring goregrind bands. The song titles more sounds like a political crust band, and there is some crust feelings in a few tracks, that make it so much better than just ordinary grind band. Lay Off Me sounds like an old Nasum track. I can recommend this for people who like grind and want to hear something new. 

Review: Turist i tillvaron Vol.3

V/A Turist i tillvaron Vol.3 (Spotify)
sirling.blogspot.com
turistbloggen@gmail.com

Yet another compilation from Turist i Tillvaron are now released. The different genres are significant for this compilation collection. I find both old and new acquaintances. The Negatives who've belong to one of my favorite bands for a long time give me strong pogo feelings with their brilliant punkrock. Hyrda Knektar, another punkrock band, but with more pop feelings than The Negatives suprise me in a positive way. Uppgång & Fall have that classic swedish 80.s punkpop sound and the female/male vocals make it really good. Vervain, who use to be a good band isn't good this time, I think they have to decide how they wanna sound, it's the vocals who disturb me most it just doesn't sound good. The crust/hardcore bands on this volume is the mediocre Total Aggression, the good Träshers and another good band Livet som insats who play really raw and fast kängcore. Just like Uppgång & Fall have Vånna Inget that old punkpop sound, and I think it's allt the bands from that genre I like most from the Turist i tillvaron compilations. I didn't realize how good Vånna Inget really are, I wanted more and found more on Spotify, I have to buy their records when I get more money. Antipati is the last band on this volume, and if you've read all reviews in this issue do you already know how much I like them.
