While the world was pretty much in lockdown as nature was taking some revenge on humanity people were finding different ways to keep creative. Los fastidios broke the boredom by setting up their own lockdown show, here is their medley of lockdown tunes.
Play of the day – the heavy Seas are lifting
For Heavy Seas the sound is akin to Swervedriver being played by Hardcore fans, guitars are hopping everywhere with heartfelt lyrics being sung. Right throughout it's a wall of guitars crescending almost wave like around you.
Play of the day – Mundo Primitivo
8 punk rock community blasts that is pure hardcore
Play of the day – Bootlicker
It's an explosion of sound rolling down a hill at top speed, over bumps and crevices.
Play of the day – Kronstadt
The second album from prolific french punks, Kronstadt, with an eye for some melodic punk rock
Play of the day – Toodles and the hectic Pity
Emo lofi folk punk on a one sided 12" from the UK
Play of the day – War On Women
The third call to arms from feminist punk band War on Women. Part Propaghandi, part Petrol Girls this is a riff fuelled a manifesto that rocks out. There is a lot of rocking going in here.
Play of the Day – This Is Sisterhood
a supergroup under the name 'Solidarity Not Silence' with members of The Tuts, Petrol Girls, Colour Me Wednesday, Personal Best AND with a feature from Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill. Standing in Solidarity #ThisIsSisterhood
Play of the day – the return of Pardon Us
This record is just one big merry go round of smiles and punk pop anthems of community, promise and challenge. A heartfelt plea for us all to keep working together and be proud of our community.
Play of the day – Frau Blucher
Belgian punk rock with songs sung in English giving the vocals a hard edge. It’s very much dirty sounding punk rock reminding me of Vice Squad with some Motorhead riffs in there.
