Lisabi [Brazil]


2010-PRESENT
Campinas, Sao Paolo. Remember Atomic Nachos? Soon after releasing demo they disbanded and this band was formed. Sound is quite different, sweeter. Sometimes still reminds of The Good Skamaritans. I don't like those slow parts of the songs, music of Atomic Nachos was more to my taste. But i believe fans of BTMI style ska punk would love them. Fred Phelps: American Terrorist is an awesome song!

Members:
André Cardoso - bass, vocals; Matheus Fattori - guitar, vocals; Mateo Piracés - guitar, vocals;
Gabriel Slenes - trumpet, vocals; Max Maiken - saxophone; Sebastián Piracés - drums.

Control Chubby [Guatemala]



  2009-PRESENT
Crack rock steady band from Guatemala City. They just shared their new EP. The sound is not as good as main european or north american crack bands have, but i enjoyed it. And i like the parts of the lyrics i managed to translate. Now i know few words more in spanish)
I'm glad crack rock bands appear in such countries, cause it's really important there. Cause there is a huge difference between the police, politicians or church in Guatemala (like in any other developing country) and, for example, in Canada or Scandinavian countries where social standards are very high.
Stay DIY, active, united, wise and kind-hearted! No fanaticism! Good luck there, guys.
















Members on last EP: Carlos - vocals and drums; Rafa - guitar; Johann - bass;
Few weeks ago Camilo came on drums.

First swedish band in the blog! Actually, from Stockholm.
Awesome crack rock steady/punk rock stuff! Two Words is IMHO the best song, but i liked all of them from the full length. Still singing Deliverance quite often. For those few who already know this band the titles of the songs have been changed a lil after they've been published online earlier. So this is the latest version of the album, with track numbers. Enjoy.

2011-PRESENT
Another suberb project from Paris from the members of Beng Beng Cocktail (Skal and Befa).
Similar type of music, DIY skacore/crack rock, just not acoustic.
So far u can enjoy 4 great songs. As Chris (Riot Records) already mentioned: "Don't Hold Back is an anthem" and I totally agree with him. Galvanize and Knights Of The Change are fresh and awesome too. Also there is an electric version of BBC song DIY. They promise 11-track album in the end of 2011/start of 2012. Can't wait!
Are touring UK with BBC this september!

From The Cradle To The Rave [UK]



2009-PRESENT

FTCTTR comes out of Edinburgh, Scotland. Solo project by INFKTD, the member of My Own Religion and Cot Death (the only band that sounded really close to this).
This is a Riotstep, a mix of Crackrocksteady and Drum'n'Bass.
I think Cot Death and From The Cradle To The Rave made a revolution in music. Danceble as fuck, fresh unique sound and still very much punk. Murdasound from A Nightmare On Wall Street is an absolute musthear for everyone. INFKTD got some crew to play live, and, hopefully, the band will tour Europe this year. Please, support them the way u can! New EP just came out!! Enjoy, friends!!!!

Wanted one-armed Bandits [Russia]

[post updated on August 22, 2011]



2008-PRESENT
Awesome ska-core band from Karachev, Russia. Very powerful horn section <3, great choruses and vocals, i like most of the lyrics, pretty close to my personal thoughts.

2010 album has super tasty horns (2 saxophones!) and lots of energy. At first it sounded too light for me, but later i did enjoyed it a lot and still listening to it quite often.

2011 EP has better quality of the sound, better choruses and vocals, even though in english parts sometimes accent is heard. Also some ska parts i don't like. And let's get back to the good things: interesting song structures and two guitars made the sound richer. I was pretty surprised with the idea of the track "Music") even though i like The Best Day and Лучшие Друзья a lil more. Awesome EP.

This is definitely the best "horny)" ska-core band from Russia.



Current members:
Zhenia - trumpet, vocals; Andrey - guitar; Sasha - guitar; Igor' - bass;
Vania - tenor sax; Misha - drums.

Previous members (2010): Andrey - vocals; Sasha - guitar; Igor' - bass;
Anton - baritone sax; Vania - tenor sax; Zhenia - trumpet, vocals; Artem - drums.

The Converted [USA]



2003-2006 [RIP]
The band was out of Kent County, Maryland. They played old school punkrock by adding some oi and ska. Life's A Scar is a great ska punk track. Pix On Me sounds pretty cracky, that's sweet too. Also would like to mention such good punk songs like Convert Or Be Destroyed, Kent Punx, Social Skrew.

Mike - rhytm guitar, vocals; Corey - bass, vocals;
Dave - guitar, vocals; Daniel - drums.
