Gewoon Fucking Raggen / Travolta (Loner Cult Records)


Put a few musicians into a room together, and it’s almost guaranteed they’re going to start a jam session. Then throw 2 bands into that same room, and its pretty much a done deal, theyll be making a split!)) A split which will show you the furious power of fast hardcore. Yes, boys and girls I'm talking about the teamwork of Gewoon Fucking Raggen (Netherlands) and Travolta (Belgium). This split definitely contains noise that is so fast the A-side became the B-side, and thats so wicked! I dont know whos idea it was to put the main image in so many negative characters, but it works. This artwork looks both silly, and truly crazy.Okay... enough empty words for now... Lets dive into the music...

First band on the menu, is Gewoon Fucking Raggen (which translates to "Just fucking shred" btw). I`ve been super excited to hear new tunes from them, because I know how fast and mad they are. It starts out with a funny intro, that makes you realize- “Hardcore Will Never Die!”, haha! But then slams a very quick and sharp song right in your face. This is super intensive fastcore,totally insane. Sweet and simple riffs, good enerizing speed, and a ton of noisy fun. The best parts here is definetely the "yelling" style of vocals,and fast drum beats. My favorite song is ”Jazz”… Fuck... this track drives me crazy. Honestly, it awakened my primal instincts, and i was ready to jump into the nearest moshpit hahaha!

Up next is Travolta. This is a young band, but these guys have a lot of experience. With this record they showed what they are capable of. In comparison to their first split, this one is much juicier. Here youll find a lot of stupid cool intros about John Travolta, space intruders and other weird stuff. This brings out some picant and fun notes in whole picture. They act with a good mix of powerviolence and fast punk. Ear drilling with good fast blasting drums and brain melting guitar riffs. This work show they have grown, and developed. I really appreciate that. Let`s see what noise Travolta will bring us in the future.

Attention Asian freaks!


Gewoon Fucking Raggen ‎– Bruja

Rotterdam is a very beautiful and large city in Netherlands. But that nice look has an other side. Dark, crazy, noisy side, where all people are like one big family. Where loud and fast music have no end. I guess for simple human it`s pretty creepy but we love it and we call it underground. Today I want to talk about one not well known band from Netherlands' dungeon. Gewoon Fucking Raggen it's a great example of sick, sharp fastcore. This ugly punk monster consist of 3 crazy pieces (two men and one lovely girl). During listening I noticed many punk, hardcore and rock n roll pieces and all of them mix in something really cool.You will definitely feel speed and a high volume that will corrupt your mind and make your brain explode (like a shitty bomb, haha!:)). Bruja is a first full length in Gewoon Fucking Raggen history. It's full of Invigorating, demonic energy... These riffs, solos, blast beats, angry screams will make you feel alive. And few words at the end. Okay this release have no super cover but all of these 17 songs sounds like shots, and I believe that this album will find many fans.
