This
various artists complitation is a collaboration between
Fungal Punk and the newly formed Slit Records. It features
two tracks each from four bands, each representing a different
country. First band up are England's Gimpfist a band who
are right at the top of my list of bands to see live.
'Brotherhood' their first track is a good old
school singalong with some nice guitar riffs but their
second track 'More War Stories' has distinct
similarites with reggae tracks by The Clash such as The
Guns Of Brixton. I must say that I thought this song actually
surpassed The Clashes reggae offerings for quality and
this band also have The Clashes ability to diversify which
is always the hallmark of any good band. One of the best
songs I have heard in the last year.
Next up are Welsh trio Stuntface. I wasn't sure about
this lot when they first went from a foursome to a trio
but now it seems like they have managed to retain their
great sound. 'Every Dog Has Its Day' and 'Go
To Hell Blues' are both fast, furious and catchy
songs that bridge the gap between punk and hardcore. Two
great songs from one of the best bands to come out of
Wales.
Belgium's Koncept are the next band to display their talents.
I'd not heard much by Koncept but after hearing 'World
Today' and 'Belspelletjes' two fast paced,
aggressively sung songs i'll be on the hunt for more by
them.
Finally come 'Norah Louise Kuzmah' and 'Wake
Up Call' two tracks by Scotland's The Red Eyes. I'd
put both these songs in the pop punk bracket, they're
more melodic and tuneful than raw and aggressive but as
with most pop punk tunes they're very catchy. At only
£2 for this well produced CD this is a snip from
two guys who are motivated by music and not money.
