Marxbros / Travølta

What could hide under artwork like this? Anarchopostpunkreggae? Funny grind? Nope - guys we have here a strong hardcore/violence 12” with two young but not stupid bands. Of course the cover is mostly a joke and it could push you away from this release, but I assure you, this noise is worth of your time. No more words, I'm putting this pitch black vinyl on my turntable and pressing the button! Netherland guys with the strange name Marxbros are on side A; we'll start with them. After a few songs I realized that this noise reminds me of real hardcore, with all simplicity, anger, and fun. There is no hip-hop stuff like in famous hardcore bands and I really appreciate it. It's rare to find bands in this genre which are true to the old school. Punky drums, wild yelling, simple guitar tone, good and catchy riffs are the ingredients of real and honest noise. Dutch language especially good for music like this, it makes everything spicier. Can't say that these guys took my heart, but I honestly enjoyed their material. Last, but not least, is Travølta. I know these cock-sparrows from Heultje city for a long time. Behind the goofy name is a lot of hidden potential. Travølta starts with clanging bass intro that turns into a violence massacre. Each song is full of punk energy and violence. Every component of this recording session has a pretty modern sound (on my taste of course), but together drums, guitar, bass and vocal create a twisting mess that sounds pretty nice. This is not the heaviest music that you could hear, but I`m sure that powerviolence/fastcore fans will be satisfied. Rating: 7.5/10 Travolta bc MarxBros bc

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.

Days of Desolation / Travolta

I must say that this is a very nice split... All together 8 labels have united to make the world see this release, by the way, this 10" had been waiting in queue at the factory for a long period of time (but all those who was waiting for these release won't regret it anyway). The artwork is very cool, I see the hand of the master who's name is Jasper Swerts (Infested Art) just at the first look. By the way, it was a nice surprise for me that this talented guy currently plays in Days of Desolation. Maybe, we should end our fast check, but no, wait, I've forgotten, there is a lyric sheet for all people who love to read the lyrics (it would lessen the hunger of those who want to know about the deepness of lyrical sides of this music). Side A, band: Days of Desolation. Fuck yeah! The guys had kicked my ass just as the first riff have hit, hahaha! Just an amazing introduction which transforms into an aggressive massacre. Guys don't care too much about their arms (or legs as for the drummer), nor their throats. The material sounds very vivid and tasty. There is a lot of agressive parts which make you wonna have some bruises in the moshpit. But this crustgrind is also embellished by the melody, and trust me, this shit suits overall sound very well. Side B, band: Travolta. As far as I understand, this is a debut work of this band (so I won't be to strict with it). For its first baby they have recorded 10 songs (as I know it is one good belgium guy Brame (Vleekskak Rec) is the person who helped to record them). I think that if you look through the band's name you will simply recognise that this is the band close to a new wave of powerviolence. But there isn't so much pv here, guys mix it well with grindcore/fastcore and punk. Quite good recording and the sound too, the guys have made their best in order not to fuck shit up. The material is rabid, aggressive and full of energy. Good speed though the songs aren't very various, but they are cheerful enough. I won't describe all that casual pack of ingredients in such music in details (sorry), but I can say that I really enjoy the bass sound. ;)
Rating: Days of Desolation – 9/10 Travolta – 8/10
