A Decade of Punk: Looking Back and Moving Forward

 


Greetings, fellow punk enthusiasts! 

It's been ten years since I started this blog, and I'm excited to reflect on the evolution of punk music and my journey with it. Over the years, I've seen many changes in the music industry, and my own interests have evolved as well. However, my passion for DIY, old-school, hardcore punk music remains as strong as ever. 


The Evolution of Music Consumption: 

 
When I started this blog in 2013, people were still downloading MP3s. But now, most people listen to music on streaming services like Spotify and Bandcamp. While I've found myself turning more and more to these platforms in recent years, I still appreciate the value of collecting physical copies of music. There's something special about holding a vinyl record or a cassette tape in your hands and experiencing the music in a tangible way.

Exploring New Avenues: 

 
In recent years, my passion for punk music has led me down new avenues. I've developed a newfound interest in screen printing and have set up a small printing atelier. I've been revisiting some of my older blog posts and using them as inspiration for creating bootleg prints on shirts and hoodies. If you're as passionate about hardcore punk as I am, you might find something you like in my Etsy shop.

The DIY Spirit Lives On: 

 
The DIY spirit has always been at the heart of punk music, and it's something that I've embraced in my own journey. Screen printing has become a significant part of my life, and I'm excited about the prospect of branching out into other nerdy interests that I hold dear. Who knows, you might see some unique and unconventional designs inspired by all things punk and beyond.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, I'm grateful for all the support I've received over the years, and I'm excited to continue sharing my love for punk music with you all. Whether you're a die-hard collector of vinyl records or a fan of streaming services, there's a place for you in the punk scene. And if you're interested in some hardcore punk shirts or hoodies, don't hesitate to visit my Etsy shop. As always, stay true, stay punk!

Inferno Personale - In ira veritas LP

 

hardcorepunk band from bremen, germany. first full length release here after a rehearsal room demo from 2021. inferno personale features members from italy, colombia, argentinia and germany and this beast of raging hc-punk was mastered from tokyo's noise room studio. and tokyo was also my first thought when i heard the record for the first time without knowing about this - sounds like a kriegshög release straight away... that should be enough reasons to listen to this album or? get it here

OR the chatgpt improved version of my post :D:

Inferno Personale is a hardcore punk band hailing from Bremen, Germany, and their latest release, the first full-length album after a rehearsal room demo in 2021, is a beast of raging HC-punk that should not be missed. The band features members from Italy, Colombia, Argentina, and Germany.

Mastered in Tokyo's Noise Room Studio, this album is a raw and powerful offering that showcases the band's energy and intensity. When I first heard it, I was struck by how it immediately brought to mind the ferocious sound of Kriegshög, a legendary Japanese hardcore punk band. The album's sound is a visceral assault on the senses, with relentless riffs, pounding drums, and furious vocals that will leave you feeling energized and exhilarated.

This release is a must-listen for fans of hardcore punk and anyone who loves music that is raw, unapologetic, and full of passion. It's clear that Inferno Personale has poured their heart and soul into this album, and their dedication to their craft shines through in every track. So don't hesitate, check out their latest release and experience the power of their music for yourself! get it here

偏執症者 (Paranoid) - 10th anniversary

 

 A power trio from Frösön/Sweden, formed in 2012. The foundation of their uncompromising DIY-attitude and savagery is in d-beat punk-inspired noise mixed with classic 80s metal. Conjuring a destructive vortex of violently rotating northern winds of head banging chaos and pure hell.

HOT GRAVES - Magnificent Death CD

 

Formed in Gainesville, FL in 2008, HOT GRAVES crept into being blending the driving ferociousness of D-Beat / Hardcore Punk / Crossover Thrash with the brutality of Death Metal and the sprinklings of Black Metal into one raging amalgamation of sonic hatred!!! get it here!!!
