    Something Has Happenend Here

    This live bootleg was recorded in 1966 during the European leg of Bob Dylan’s tour, that mainly took place in the United Kingdom. Bob Dylan started out as a singer and songwriter mainly influenced by Folk and Blues music. His first albums sounded like that, acoustic with guitar, harmonica. The song texts were the main…

    Reason To Believe

    Finally bought a copy to finally hear this much praised 7 inch. I am old school and buy records to hear them, so also for hearing them a first time. It’s sometimes a guess but it makes it so much more exciting than doing a search on google and risk getting a virus while unzipping…

    Catharsis "Samsara" cassette

    This cassette came sealed when I bought it, couldn’t resist to slice it open. It’s the cassette version of the first Catharsis LP. This came out on Youth Culture, a label from Poland. A couple of years later than the recording of it, 1999 to be exact. The cover is actually a booklet with the…

I already did a review about “To Celebrate The Newborn” earlier, when I got a CD version. Now I acquired a recently pressed cassette version. The Indonesian label who made them is…

    Crime In Stereo is dead

    Have I ever told you how good this record is? I have these records since they came out but never wrote about them on this blog before. Crime In Stereo plays what I call ‘futuristic’ Punk. Hard to define their style, although it’s safe to say they don’t play classical Hardcore per definition. It took…

    Turnstile move thru me

    The new Turnstile record is short in duration but I’m still glad to hear some fresh tunes. The layout of the record is completely in accordance to the ‘motion’ theme of the release. You have to turn the cover around to be able to read all what is printed on it. Upside down and from…

    Shelter mantra reissue

    This is the era of represses and reissues. A whole slew of releases that got out of press for years now get reprinted or reissued. Shouldn’t labels be focussing on releasing new stuff and supporting new bands? It also looks like that bringing a message in Hardcore is totally gone and that nowadays it is…
