Dark Ages - Vicious Lie 7" (2009)

It's been a while since i've posted on the blog.
I'll try to update it a lil bit more often.

Got a few books in the last weeks, but the reading speed has been quite slow.
Not much news on the music side, well, at least none that hasn't already been posted somewhere on the internet.

Here's a new treat for you all.

Wasted Time - Futility LP (2009)

Download

"New record from VA's own WASTED TIME! The LP version contains blistering tracks of violent raging fast and furious early 80's influenced hardcore, quite reminiscent of early POISON IDEA with a hint of boston hardcore influence ala NEGATIVE FX or SSD. You know exactly what to expect...a nonstop fast and ugly hardcore mayhem."

Smart Cops - Cominciare A Vivere 7"

Italian hardcore attack!
With members from La Piovra and Ohuzaru (the sound is more similar to the Piovra's hardcore than the fast thrash of the later).

"Second EP by Italy's Smart Cops, and if you loved their first EP as much as I did, you'll be pleased to know they've only gotten better at their concoction of garage-y punk and 80-style hardcore. Even better, this time they've given us a concept record about a cop who "finds himself" by becoming addicted to heroin!"

"(...) The final blow to the skull of good taste this week comes courtesy of Italy’s Smart Cops, with their Cominciare a Vivere EP on Sorry State Records. Formed from the ashes of hardcore behemoths La Piovra and Ohuzaru, the Cops are less abrasive (and screamy) than either of those outfits, and have mastered the fine art of writing a decent hook. The follow up to their self-titled EP, Cominciare a Vivere tells the tale of a woebegoten officer of the law that, in an attempt to find himself, become addicted to heroin. All of this is delivered at a rocket-fire pace in an abrasive-yet-tuneful ’80s hardcore style that should please fans of Negative Approach or gutter trash punk rock in general." The TripWire

Negative Approach?? Nah...More like Circle Jerks, DK and alikes (they cover a few songs, "Beverly Hills" and "Holiday In Cambodia")

Oz

I just loved this show. It aired a while ago in a local cable tv station and it sure turned out being one of my favourite tv shows of all time.
It shows how brutal can be life in prison, their groups, their struggles and the way to solve problems: violence and killing. Great cast of actors, sure add some extra flavour to the show.

"Oz is the nickname for the Oswald State Correctional Facility, formerly Oswald State Penitentiary, a maximum-security prison (level 4) at an undisclosed location. Many of the plot arcs are set in Emerald City ("Em City"), an experimental unit of the prison in which the unit manager attempts to emphasize rehabilitation and learning responsibility during incarceration. Emerald City is an extremely controlled environment where there are a controlled number of members of each racial and social group."


Too bad they haven't released them yet here in Portugal, let's hope some day they'll do.
Meanwhile i'm grabbing the DVDRips.
