Yet another punk attack against the Fortress Europe a.k.a. Schengen border, this time in the form of a vinyl collaboration between two bands from both sides of the border. LIFE SCARS from Poland (including members of All Day Hell and Czas Zlamac Prawo) deliver 6 brand new songs of their dirty sounding yet very catchy hardcore punk with dual (fe+male) vocals and socio-political lyrics. Undoubtedly great follow-up to their debut CD. On the flipside we find BAGNA from Belarus. Formed by ex-members of Contra La Contra, this is one of the most underrated bands in the European hardcore punk scene (again, most likely “courtesy” of the Schengen border). 7 uncompromising outburts of raging “Scandinavian” hardcore with bleak lyrics highly influenced by living under the heavy boots of Lukashenko’s regime. Absolutely not a band to ignore.
