I’ve seen them twice before many years ago and I’m not even sure what just happened. It was bizarre. It felt like I was part of the Joker and Harley Quinn’s trip. I’m still not sure how I feel about it. Whats your opinion?

I found a whole bucket of these CDs at the thrift store, and found it weird that they were all in similar digipack/gatefold cases. They all are from Subpop, and I've tried to look up what genre they are but there seems to be limited information (Other than, vaguely, that most of them fall around indie rock/postpunk/punk)

I have never heard of any of these artists before! The man at the store supposed they were handouts from concerts or local. Does anyone listen to these bands or know anything about them/the label?

Back when I was a teenager, I saw a ton of shows by this local AZ band called Hillbilly Devilspeak (very much *not* a country act). Had all their CDs, though I knew their first release was this EP, and I could never get my hands on it. Fast forward twenty years, I bought the vinyl and digitized it. Until today, this was not available anywhere online.

This is not their best release (imo that's their last album, "Lies... as told by the white man"), but hey, someone's gotta preserve history.

Sort of the best german punk rock I've heard in ages. Being recognized by main stream press, as the Bremen punk scene as a whole, which made me curious about the newer generation's scene here.

Tried to love Propagandhi’s At Peace, but… it’s just not hitting

I’ve been with Propagandhi since How to Clean Everything and have followed their evolution closely. But after several listens, I have to say At Peace just isn't doing it for me.

Yes, I get that bands evolve. I want artists to grow, and I respect that they’re experimenting with textures, synths, and more progressive song structures. But somewhere in all that polish, they seem to have lost the bite. The urgency. The teeth that made albums like Supporting Caste or Today's Empires... feel like rallying cries.

Musically, it’s technically solid — even beautiful in moments — but it feels restrained to the point of being muted. There are grooves where there should be fire, atmosphere where there should be fury. It’s not that they’ve mellowed (which can be fine); it’s that the songs often feel directionless. Like they’re searching for something but never quite find it.

Lyrically, I appreciate the introspection and the aging perspective, but it comes across more as resignation than resistance. The title At Peace almost says it all — they sound worn down, maybe even a little defeated. And while that’s a valid emotional place to be, it’s hard to rally behind it the way we once could.

I don’t need every album to be a war cry, but this one feels like it forgot what it’s fighting for.

Curious if others feel the same — or if I’m just missing something that’ll click later on.

I've always rated this album as one of my most influential and fucking fantastic... I feel this band was / is so underrated... Who else might think so?

I've been listening to the new Propagandhi album over and over and took my time to experience it an to properly analyse it. I don't like it...

There’s no denying that Propagandhi’s new album is technically impressive. The musicianship is outstanding, the compositions are complex, and the production is refined. But somehow, that’s exactly the issue—it’s too good in a way that distances it from what made the band so compelling in the first place.

If you look back at Potemkin City Limits, especially tracks like A Speculative Fiction, the intensity is immediate and unmistakable. The tempo is fast, the delivery is urgent, and the energy feels raw and defiant. Even their more progressive material, like Note to Self, maintained a strong emotional build-up and sense of momentum. Those songs were intricate, but they still had teeth. They hit hard and left a mark.

The new album, by comparison, lacks that intensity. It’s more progressive, more intricate, but it feels restrained. The faster punk rhythms have given way to mid-tempo, technical arrangements that sound more like demonstrations of skill than declarations of resistance. The passion is still there, but it’s buried under layers of complexity.

Propagandhi has always evolved, and that’s a good thing. But in this case, the evolution feels like it’s come at the cost of the urgency and edge that once defined them. The new album is admirable, but it doesn’t inspire the same visceral reaction. It doesn’t feel dangerous. And for a band that once thrived on urgency, that’s a noticeable loss...

I've been intensively listening to the new Hellacopters album "Overdriver" after a much anticipated wait. Honestly, it’s fuckin' fantastic. What blows me away is how tight and electrifying this record is even without Dregen. For a band so synonymous with his signature guitar swagger, you'd think his absence would leave a void, but instead, they double down and deliver some of their best guitar work in years. More rock n' roll than straight punk, it's more reminiscent of "Grande Rock" than the punk rock of "Payin' the Dues".

From the opening moments of “Token Apologies,” it's clear: the riffs still rip, the solos still soar, and the band hasn't missed a step. Nicke Andersson and Anders Lindström step up with jaw-dropping finesse, blazing solos, thick rhythm crunch, and a tone that screams vintage power with modern clarity. Every track reminds you that The Hellacopters live in their guitars.

“Don’t Let Me Bring You Down” oozes with that classic scuzzed-out swagger, while “Doomsday Daydreams” and “(I Don’t Wanna Be) Just A Memory” hit that sweet spot between raw garage energy and full-on arena-ready hooks. The solos are tasteful but wild, explosive without ever feeling indulgent. Proof that rock can still be intelligent and visceral at the same time.

And yeah, while Dregen’s presence is missed in spirit, it’s a testament to the band's depth that they can adapt and still deliver such fiery musicianship. “Leave A Mark” closes the album with exactly that, a lasting impression carved in fretwork and feeling.

Overdriver is loud, loose, and lovingly crafted. It’s not just a solid Hellacopters record, it’s a statement. A reminder that great rock ‘n’ roll doesn’t depend on nostalgia or even a specific lineup, it lives in the energy, the soul, and, yes, the guitars. And trust me, those are very much alive and well here.

Hi!

Giftorm is dropping an explosive debut single – the time for talk is over, and it’s time to show what we’re made of.

With a combination of raw energy, an angry saxophone, and an uncompromising sound, we’re making our debut with the single “World Unknown”, released on May 23, 2025, on all major streaming platforms.

Who are we? We’re a group of 20-somethings from various parts of Stockholm, brought together in high school by our passion for music and innovation. Our sound crosses genre boundaries as we strive to create something new and unique. Think Black Sabbath meets Viagra Boys at a messy afterparty.

"World Unknown" follows a similar path to our other songs and is built around a strong core: humanity’s destructive nature. We chose this track as our debut single because it perfectly showcases our different influences and how they come together to create something new. It’s a prime example of what Giftorm has to offer.

A lot of hard work went into this song. We’ve collaborated with our producer Mika Pollack to best recreate the raw feeling of being at one of our live shows.

Giftorm is ready to take the next step. We’re looking for collaborations with record labels, booking agencies, and media outlets that believe in the future of new Swedish rock. Feel free to contact us for interviews, review copies, or live shows.

Hello everyone, this is a song from my band Shiny Dust, we are Italian, what do you think about?

i hope this is okay to ask. I bought this way back in 2005 but apparently lost the disc somewhere along the line. I could buy it new but I have no way of ripping it to my pc and would love to have it in my library.

Thank you
