Czas Zlamac Prawo - orwell was right
Decent anarchocrust from Poland, melody in two voices with real angry female on the microphone. In the best moments a real steamroller that realy rocks. In the faster parts the pressure suffers a bit... but when they do a startup - WoW. Nice screenprint-cover,all lyrics in polish and for language idiots ;-) like me, also in english. (7)

Czas Zlamac Prawo - orwell was right
Baseball-bat-thick anarcho crustpunk hardcore from Poland. Two singers, female/male, hits the nail on the head. Not realy a prime example for diversified hardcore punk out of 2011, but grandmother bakes the  sunnday wavers all the time with the good old recipe since 69 years, and they taste good all the time! Its a bit sad that its hard to recognise a lot from the polish hc-punk-scene, if You not living close to the border or getting the review-examples in Your mail. Considerable how much realy good bands there are arround and how much You might miss. By the way thats the last EP from the band, wich its hard for me to wright down there name again.

Nine Bands on a 7", naturally ther is no time for filigree. Timeshot of the polish industrial region, Silesiaen, it reaches over to Czech and stylistically covers nearly all, from american Hardcore over crust to thrasch. It is interesting how less of "troubles by touching" they obviously have there. My Faves: the SWINIOPAS with their homage to Tony Hawk (6)

Aha, one 7" Sampler with hc/punk and thrash bands from Silesia. Cool idea to come closer with 9 Bands those names I read the first time these days. Makes pro band not realy to the first minute, to assert themselfes in the fight for the sampler-king-title; therefor in short form my own impressions. HARD WORK with close to NY hardcore style, the bandphoto shows 5 strong tattooed guys with caps under their hoody. It fit's. NICE SHOES, they don't have only a nice name, they even make a realy fast thrashpunk with a funny-squeezed voice. HGW have there tones again, hardcore punk with dual voice. With STEP RIGHT IN it goes a bit more youth crew style on. Finally NO TIME TO WASTE give a modern hardcore track to the sampler. The band photo, on the thick paper booklet gives me a decent and sympathic impression of the 5 boys, therefore no minus for the quite dryish end on the A-side.
The flip-side starts with STREGESTI. Crusty hardcore punk with a lot of tempo and a jaging female voice. The record may produced somewhere in a practice room, but fits super to the sound. CASTET gave us hardcore punk with a realy good punk-edge and a funny songwriting, so far my favourite band. I'm checking them later on www. At MINORITY it goes on more tough and modern. Sure a lot of fun for friends of moshpit and violent dance. Not my cup of tea. SWINIOPAS pay homage with the song about skateboard legend Tony Hawk to there JFA skatecorethrash. All in all a nice idea to "fix-on" the kid's out there on the silesia hc-punk-scene, even when I declare in a naughty voice, good till two or three bands, on this sampler won't kick you off a barstool. Anyway I'll google for Castet and the Nice Shoes, just to make shure.

Silesia is not only the first word that I remember when I think of HC, but we live in globaliced world, so there might be HC everywere. Apart from Africa and the arabic peninsula maybe. This smal piece of plastic unites already 9 bands from the southwest of Poland on one compilation. On top of that there is a quite big booklet with lyrics, in polish, but nearly all are translated into english. By means of the photos all of the bands, good-till one of them are all-boy-bands. But who's wondering about that in HC bands at all... Musically it goes criss-cross from thrash to mosh and backwards, the quality/niveau is quite high (Stregesti is my favourite) and to look over the rim of your teacup cant be wrong. Quite a interesting thing.
