First looks at Travølta / Boom split 7"!!!

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.
