Review: Property - Breaking And Entering (LP)

Image
         Hardcore punk outta Hville! Property has been around since the 90's, but I gotta say I personally think they really came into their own recording-wise in the last ten years. This ain’t some local weekend warrior legacy act. The band has tightened and expanded their sound and they were solid and badass to begin with! They probably practice more than my band. Hardcore punk perfect for hardcore punk dancin’, but with plenty more going on. This is one of those bands that you blast on the way to AND from their show!  -Harmless Property on Bandcamp! Property on Spotify!

Review: Latin For Truth - Southern Fantasia (single)

    Note: This review is taken from GAD! Zine 31 and is for the title track of the recently released Southern Fantasia album. Expect a full review of the full-length VERY soon!!   Dayam! It's great to have these dudes back! I'm excited for the upcoming album. Got the same yell-y and sing-y thing going that they killed at years back. This isn't some nostalgia trip, though. This is modern and thoughtful and bright. This is that kinda music that is just... literate. Everything feels like it has a reason to be. To my ears, the full-length may very well blow away everything they've done before. We could seriously use more socially conscious artists like LFT in this state!                                                                                      ...

Review: Knockabouts - Angry Young Men (LP)

  I rem ember talking to other punk rockers in like 1997 about how hard it was to find a studio in or around Alabama that could (or would) record punk rock. Much less allow it to sound like a “proper” punk record. So how the fuck did t eenage “Alabama” Donnie Sharp and friends pull it off in 1983?? Legend has it that the Knockabouts were the first hardcore punk band in Alabama. If they weren’t, I’d say they were the most important. Underground bands to in the Huntsville area, to this day, have hints of it in their sound . Whether they know it or not. And this isn’t one of those band s we mention cuz they were just the first ones there. I mean they really kiiiiiiiicked ass! Nuclear blasts of thrashy sped-up punk. Noisy and chaotic and super slam- danceable . Included on this definitive collection are straight-up classics like “Where’s My Vietnam?” and the ir vicious take on Skyn y rd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” .  Lots of fast punkery for sure, but with cool experi...
