What did you miss in 2020? Punk suggestions for punx. Lenin. Berlin, Germany

Intro:
Hi! My name is Przemek but everyone know me as Lenin, I live in Berlin and I’m owner of Hasiok Records. Record and cassette collector and Hausmeister :-)

Touche Amore — Lament LP
Label: Epitaph
Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA

I discovered this band in May 2011 after the release of the second LP. In July, I saw them for the first time with La Dispute, Dangers, Death Is Not Glamorous, Glasses in Berlin. Since then, I have seen them 20 times and once I was lucky enough to be at a secret concert on a boat in Hamburg for 70 people in October 2013. Every album coming out of the name Touche Amore is a hit. Lament is unfortunately not as good as the “Stage Four” album, but still very good.

Teryky — Overcome LP
Label: Hasiok Records / Moment of Collapse Records
Location: Hamburg, Germany

It feels a bit strange that my top 5 includes a band that I released on vinyl. Four people from Hamburg playing ravishing post metal with great lyrics. Love from the moment I first met them in January 2019. Lovely people.

The War Goes On — Assisted Armageddon LP
Label: ​Adult Crash / Hasiok Records
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

After the first listening, I was very disappointed. Second album effect? Perhaps. Fortunately, after a while the album defends itself. There aren’t as many hits as on the first album, but I still want to pogo in my room. I am very happy that the band played on the Hasiok Records 20th anniversary fest and then I was able to release this album on cassette.

Jad — Wstręt EP
Label: Self-Released
Location: Warsaw, Poland

Old Siekiera meets old Armia. Polish punk 1984 in 2020! TOP!

Clairvoyance — Demo 2020 EP
Label: Putrid Cult / Behind The Mountain / Caligari Records
Location: Warsaw, Poland

Young metalheads from Warsaw play old-school death metal. I’m happy that
the band played their first show at the festival organized by me and friends.
