What did you miss in 2020? Punk suggestions for punx. Kris. Hamburg, Germany
Intro:
Kris. Hamburg. I really love everything about music. I play bass in Miley Silence. Drums in Unique and sing in Briefbombe. I was also organising diy punk shows with my friends, before COVID-19. I’ll continue that after Corona is done. And, I’m a part of sinkxdie.
BIB — Delux
Label: Pop Wig Records
Location: Omaha, Nebraska, USA
It’s a hardcore punk band with noise moshed parts from Omaha, Nebraska. They formed in 2015 I think. This release is from February 2020 and i guess this band is my all-time favourite. I can listen to them every day and hope I will see them live one day.
Favourite song: The Fool
Vile Creature — Glory Glory! Apathy Took Helm!
Label: Prosthetic Records
Location: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Before we wrote this I forgot, that this release is also from 2020. But yeah! It is! This album is from June. Vile Creature is a two-piece queer doom metal band from Hamilton, Ontario. This is really my release of the year. I love the vibe on this album.
Favourite song: Harbinger Of Nothing
Futuro — Os Segredos do Escaço e Tempo
Label: Self-Released
Location: São Paulo, Brazil
The band is from São Paulo, Brazil. It’s a mix of post-punk, sixties garage rock to 80s hardcore weaving. At this point, I would like to hear from other people new bands like this.
Favourite song: The Third Eye
Cold Meat — Hot And Flustered
Label: Static Shock Records / Helta Skelta Records
Location: Perth, Australia
I think my brother attracted my attention to this band. A little bit too late, but better now than never. This release was on his mailorder (no spirit). He asked me, if I want it. “Hell yes, of course”! Cold Meat is a band from Perth, Australia. The sound is a little bit between post-punk and hardcore punk. This release came out on Static Shock Records. I hope they will be on tour soon after COVID-19.
Favourite song: Bad Mood
Gulch — Impenetrable Cerebral Fortress
Label: Closed Casket Activities
Location: San Jose, California, USA
This release came out in July 2020. Gulch are from San Jose, California, formed in 2017. They play power violence, hardcore punk. Especially the “uhhh” in the songs makes me really happy. I have no idea why, that’s just the way it is!
Favourite song: Self-Inflicted Mental Terror
