Making Punk A Threat Again!

  • The long awaited debut LP from NYC’s FLOWER “Hardly A Dream” is finally set to arrive.

    FLOWER’s tedious approach to writing/creating/drawing their debut LP was carefully thought out and the result is a monumental anarcho punk /crust record. 

    “Hardly A Dream” Takes us on a bleak journey through the dark side of society. As soon as you drop the needle a dark atmosphere is immediately created with a slow intro featuring arpeggio guitar work that builds into pummeling d-beat crust. The albums vocals then leave you with a feeling of being crushed by the ever-present weight of living through our modern world of late stage capitalism that was built on the falsehoods of the so called American dream, religious hypocrisy’s, nationalism, and the greed of humankind. 

    FLOWER take many cues from predecessors and are most often (and rightfully so) compared to NAUSEA but they also take a heavy influence from ANTISECT, SACRILEGE & other greats. The artwork has a very RUDIMENTARY PENI feel and the record comes with an amazing 24.5 X 34.75 CRASS style poster jacket. All art work was meticulously hand drawn and overseen by the guitarist Willow in true DIY style and spirit. Willow was also cool enough to draw up a special shirt for the record release featuring an alternative PROFANE EXISTENCE backprint!

  • Finally, the third LP from AGNOSY has arrived! 

    AGNOSY-cover

    Dark, heavy, galloping crust from the streets of London. AGNOSY is back to present us with a ferocious beast of an album that can only be forged by the anger and frustration of living in today’s world. “When Daylight Reveals The Torture” aggressively attacks evils such the current rise of fascism and animal abuse. It intelligently and passionately touches on the Afrin invasion and the revolution in Rojava and shows nothing but utter disgust toward the arrogance of humankind’s lust for greed and power that will inevitably lead us down paths of war and environmental devastation.

    AGNOSY – Live at SCUMFEST in London. 2011

    While lyrically AGNOSY are much more politicly straight forward this time around than on previous releases, musically they have expanded on their sound to create a dark and moody atmosphere while at the same time staying crust as fuck. To say they know what they are doing would be an understatement from this band of vets whose members have played in HIATUS, HEALTH HAZARD, and BEGINNING OF THE END.

    Long galloping intros are followed up by traditional d-beat, fierce solo’s are then meet with vicious vocals and pulverizing bass in a brilliant recording captured by Lewis Johns at The Ranch Production House and was mastered by Brad Boatright at Portland’s legendary Audiosiege. We then pressed on deluxe heavyweight 150-gram vinyl,  printed on reverse board jackets, and included an 11in x 22in gatefold insert to bring you a high quality and truly epic record.

    Review by Craig Hayes from “Your Last Rites”… 
    Swordwielder – System Overlord 
    Heavyweight punk fanatics take note: System Overlord is a fucking triumph. The long-awaited sophomore album from Gothenburg stenchcore band Swordwielder is a brooding behemoth, constructed from the filthiest and heftiest strains of punk and metal. System Overlord shimmers with apocalyptic visions, and it’s overflowing with all the grim atmospherics and intimidating intensity that defines consummate crushing crust.

    Too much hype? No way… And no apologies, either. Swordwielder deal in definitive stenchcore on System Overlord, and much like their full-length debut, 2013’s Grim Visions of Battle, the band’s latest release is a knockout. Swordwielder’s harsh, gruff and dark sound owes a significant debt to old school icons like Amebix, Axegrinder, Deviated Instinct, and Antisect, and they mix and mangle their influences and leave ’em to rot on the battlefield.

    Plenty of hammering rage drives System Overlord tracks like “Violent Revolution,” “Savage Execution” and “Cyborgs,” and thundering epics like “Corrupt Future” and “Northern Lights” exhibit subtler strengths, mixing guttural growls and clean vocals with crashing percussion and dirge-laden riffs. Connoisseurs of corpse-dragging crust will love the brute-force belligerence of “Absolute Fear,” “Nuclear Winter,” and “Second Attack,” which rain down like merciless mortar barrages. As a rule, all of System Overlord‘s mammoth tracks chug and churn with grinding muscle, while reeking of squalor and decay.

    Swordwielder exudes tightly coiled aggression from start to finish here—songs rise from the ashes of desolation, and resounding calls for action and resistance ring loud. If you’re a fan of heavy-hitters like Fatum, War//Plague, Carnage, Zygome, Cancer Spreading or (insert your favorite hefty crust crew here), System Overlord‘s trampling tempo and strapping sound are bound to appeal.

    “Sermon for the Bootlickers”

    Despite the inculcation of helplessness within each there remains great power. Ill at ease with such makes us ill. Learn to see the hand that feeds for what it is. You’ve been fooled if you think you’ve got no power. Refuse to be reduced to a consumer you’re a human being. Define yourself by more than wealth. Define yourself as a human. You don’t need what you’re being sold. Bend your knee to no authority but your own mind. You have the power to avoid the gilded trap. Avarice is what you’re conditioned for. Break the mold discover what’s really valuable to you.

BACK TO THE LAND PUNKS: Bob DK, Gentleman Farmer

  • March 7, 2012
  • by stinkbot
  • · Features · PE Web Zine

Small steps in life lead to big changes…I became a vegetarian at age 22,  and was very happy to see punx adopting this as well…for many reasons, health, animal cruelty, waste of resources to raise meat, etc.  I worked as a dental technician for many years before being laid off in 05, I searched intensely for new work but couldn’t find any, and after taking numerous low paying jobs around Madison, I said fukk it…fed up with suburban life, neighbors, noise, obsessive lawn mowing….decided to take the small pension coming to me, and move. I sold the little house I owned in Kenosha, Wisconsin (no small feat considering the economy) this allowed my partner Erin and myself to move near Minneapolis, and start life anew.

We moved to a small neglected farm near the aptly called Prairie Farm, Wisconsin….a really beautiful area…we have whats left of a much bigger farm after it had been divided up and sold off. We have a house, a barn, and a large shed. We went from suburban boredom to rural DIY hardcore, country-punk ingenuity, and now the projects are endless. The barn, not in such good shape needed a lot of repair. To finish it off will take years, and the shed needed new doors and a lot of roof metal, which I managed to find here on site and re-use…the house is good, but we added a woodstove in the living room and that heats the whole place; even with the cold winters we have here in the great northern expanses, we used no gas, or electricity to keep the house warm for the last two years. Take that Excel Energy!

Having the barn has been great, it’s allowed us to shelter some animals, Erin really wanted to try raising goats. At first we had some pygmies, pygmies are a bit cranky, but now we have three milking nannies, called nubian mixes and we’re getting more milk than we can use.

We really dont drink milk, just for use in coffee and cooking, but Erin’s learned how to make cheese and so we’ve been making a lot of cheese which is awesome good!

I repaired all the broken windows in the lower barn and rocked and cemented in all the holes in the foundation, so the lower barn is tight to the weather, so we have our chickens in the barn now.

All the critters are happy and warm, and we are doing this with no electricity in the barn. But this means carring numerous five gallon buckets of water every morning winter and summer, but its worth it. I mean after all the goats and chickens need fresh water every morning, so it’s totally worth it. Erin sells our chicken’s eggs at the local food coop where she works and trades away some of the goat milk as well. It’s a good feeling having your own eggs and milk and it’s been a good start towards us being totally self sufficient one day.

Since moving here, I’ve done a lot of things I have never done before. I felled a dead 100 ft tall oak tree, I learned to drive a tractor, I tilled a field, and assisted the nannies (the goats) giving birth. I unload hay wagons with 125 bales of hay cut from ourfront pasture by our neighbor down the road, and we have the opportunity and space to have a large garden that we use to try and feed ourselves and some others as well. I understand now why this area is known for farming, the soil is sandy but with a little improvement can grow anything here…and folks have amazing gardens!  There is also the Hay River transition Initiative, A project that started in England, basically a back to local lifestyle movement… local food, local jobs, farmers markets, reskilling to survive the coming economic collapse…its been so great to meet all the folks living here who are really involved with this movement and doing so much more than I do.

I am totally inspired by them and I’m challenged to do and learn more every day. I helped plant garlic, shoveled lama poop, pitched hay, and helped pick organic pumpkins down the road. This is an amazing area, so active and vibrant, a far cry from the suburban wasteland that kills so many people’s souls. We really had no idea that all this was going on here before we moved, we just wanted out of there but here, folks teach you anything you might wanna learn about, like how to raise chickens, keep goats, cattle, horses, how to plant a field. I am from the suburbs, this is all new to me, but I embrace it!  And being so close to Minneapolis has allowed me to continue playing music with a great old friend and new young friend, record, put our records and tour! I have Erin here to hold down the fort while I am away, and with some help from her family, who incidently have been great help to us. Especially Erin’s dad, he loaned us his 1952 Case 14 horse tractor! (seriously this is RAD!)  yeehaw and hellyeah!  up the farmer punx!  ( oh yeah and thanx to jeremy for kicking me arse to write this)

Also The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery is amazing!!!! Everything you would EVER need to know from gardens to bee keeping.
