Pelazo “Carry On” 7″

The Roxies “Don’t Wanna Dance Because I’m Told To”
This punk rock band from Berlin is definitely influenced by the '77 scene but you'll also get an indie vibe when listening to these songs. A bit of PIXIES in "Underdog" or even a little ARCTIC MONKEYS in "Scapegoat." The vocals are snotty enough to please any PISTOLS/BUZZCOCKS fan and you'll find enough guitar melodies...

Ravagers “Badlands”
The single "Down That Road" was a great appetizer and it's not surprising to find it opening "Badlands". "White Widow" offers us some cool RUNAWAYS riffs while "Trespasser" is a pure in your face punk rock'n'roll song full of youthful energy.
