“All songs are originals by Shifka Chiefs, However the band is heavily inspired and motivated by the music of Miami, Florida’s “The Eat”, one of rock n’ roll’s true underground legends, and israel’s Ariel Zilber, a pop genious and a lost soul in the micro-cosmose of rock n’ roll.”

“La communauté Lorientaise est active, après Sparkrow et Radical Failure, Sordid Ship a vu le jour il y a deux ans avec des membres des précédents groupes cités.
La recette est éprouvée mais fonctionne à merveille avec un punkrock énergique, rythmé et accrocheur le tout avec un son bien Lo-Fi. Les riffs sont simples mais c’est cette simplicité qui fait mouche. Ça joue à l’ancienne et les anciens apprécieront.
Cocaïne Offshore est donc un nouvel EP de 6 titres accompagné d’une petite intro qui est un enregistrement du bruit des vagues. Le thème de la mer est d’ailleurs le fil conducteur et l’identité du groupe c’en est sympa et original.
J’aime bien In Blood we surf ou encore Cut The Rope le tout sonnant quelque part entre Santa Cruz et Agnostic Front. Un bon mélange pour un groupe aussi sympa à écouter que talentueux.” Taken from Les Rêveries

“I’m suspect of any punk or DIY record that includes a one sheet/press kit but I give everything a fair shake. After all, how bad could a band that co-opts the Simpsons for their album art be? Well as it turns out: pretty bad. It’s “being the only one of your friends who doesn’t smoke weed but likes punk so they hang out and watch their stoner friends jam out to the same note/chords over and over again” bad. Judging from the photos on their album insert, these folks like to have a good time, don’t take themselves too seriously and are anti-fascist, which is great! But I’d hate to be that brutally honest friend of theirs who, when asked, would tell them that they just plain suck.” Juan Espinosa (Taken from Razorcake)
Released for Japan tour 2016.
“I honestly have no clue why it has taken me this long to write up this Broccoli 7”. Broccoli is one of my favorite bands in the entire world and I was so very excited when they announced that they were getting back together for a tour of Japan in 2016. This 7″ was released for that tour and contains songs from 2 radio sessions. The word ‘Peel’ is missing from the artwork, though I’m reasonably confident that is the type of session that spawned these recordings. Hope I haven’t alerted some sort of Google search police now that I’ve strung the words, Peel, Broccoli and session together on the same page.
On the A side, we have two songs from a 1996 session (though the internet contends this was a 1995 session, so maybe I’m incorrrect about what sessions these are?) including “Blue” and “Neglect It.” (“Relent” and “Cherry Drop Club” were the other two songs recorded that day, for the curious). The B side contains two songs from a 1998 session, “Broken” and “Television” (“Constance” and “Fido” rounded out that original recording).
Now all of these songs are incredible and it’s especially interesting to hear live versions of them. In particular, this version of “Neglect It” (which happens to be my favorite Broccoli song), really shines from the energy of the band playing live, with the drums sounding particularly intense. That said, all of these songs sound great as you’d expect because they’re great songs. I do kind of wish they had done two separate 7″s, each containing the whole session for that year, but I will never not be excited about a new Broccoli record to add to the collection. Now if only they’d get together again to write some new songs…” (taken from Tim PopKid)

“Massive. Ferociously disciplined playing leads way to hypnotic primitivism. A barrage of noise and feedback, but not without hooks. This is despondent frustrated hardcore, the sound of Irish ghost estates, and while the middle of this record is quite a fast affair, opener “Awake”, and closer “Blown Out” are a gloomier almost post-punk pair. While I’m at it, the recording is INSANE. Check out the bass sound on “Blown Out”‘s intro. Couldn’t recommend this enough. Ireland’s best. Fans of bands like Raw Nerve or The Lowest Form wouldn’t go amiss.” (Andy McSharry)

“Debut ep from Australian/Ohio quartet Vanilla Poppers. Coming off of a very successful US tour, Vanilla Poppers offer up 6 blistering tracks of raw, unhinged, in your face punk.”

“Por fin, tras una larga espera, podemos escuchar la primera grabación de NADSAT, otro grupo más compuesto íntegramente por miembros de esta organización; un melocotonaso cósmico en toda regla que no hubiera sido posible sin la paciencia y trabajo de Manu Holländer, el único punk de verdad de esta ciudad, y la genial masterización llevada a cabo en North London Bomb Factory. En esta ocasión, el punk trianero y jerezano se han aliado para engendrar una criatura de lo más variopinta que, como todo lo bueno, se ha hecho de rogar hasta la desesperación. Pero ya lo tenemos aquí, y nosotrxs estamos muy felices de compartilo con todxs vosotrxs.
Pronto estos sonidos invadirán la realidad tangible a través de una edición en cassette de la mano de Andalucía Über Alles, que pondrá todo su cariño en elaborar un artefacto digno de ocupar un espacio en vuestra colección musical, así que, si queréis contribuir a que este proyecto no deje de crecer, id apartando los jayeres para apoyar a este grupo de nihilistas.
Escúchalo, baila, léete las letras, compártelo o métele fuego a tu computadora si te parece una mierda, da igual, Nadsat ya está aquí con un mensaje indestructible: PUNK, DIY y FUERZA JUVENIL.”

“GIRL POWER are a total powerhouse hardcore trio. Anyone that heard their debut 7″ or has seen them live knows this! Dare I say it, ‘Welcome to the Gun Show’ is even better than that first 7″!
7 tracks of pounding slow followed by lightning fast, coupled with intelligent lyrics and catchy riffs is what you’re getting here. This does not disappoint from the first note to the last.
One of the best kept secrets in UKHC right now. “
