RELEASE: COLD BRATS - S/T EP
RECORD LABEL: Nothing To Harvest Records / Summercide Records RELEASE DATE: 31 Oct 2019 BAND ORIGIN: Bucharest, Romania STYLE: Hardcore Punk / Post-Punk / Noise REVIEWER: Coffee Punx
May be one of my most awaiting cancelled shows in this spring in Hamburg. Cold Brats should have been touring over Europe together with Pakt, but they did a small tour with Education from Rome in January, which is really cool. The band has members of such projects as Void Forger, Rotheads, Cardinal and Bastos, to be honest, I knew only last one, the rest is... thanks discogs:)
Luckily, I've got this 7'' few day ago, finally I could dig a little bit in the shops in Hamburg again. This record is the 2nd one of 3 records by punks from Bucharest. 3rd one has all songs from the previous ones + 1 new. I really love electronic parts and noisy guitar on this record, it's a new cool thing in the bands sound nowadays, and yeah, I guess it was saxophone in the last song, "Life, And Nothing More", fucking great, this all makes them sound really unique. The art is really cool, I also found a poster with lyrics inside the record and it's crazy, looks like a very well made poster. The band mixing english and romanian in their lyrics, at least in first song, Split Sabers. I really can't make many references to other bands, but there probably are many, may be using saxophone also took place in last Halshug record, but anyway it's really great. My personal tops are: Split Sabers, Republic Of Dust (I assume the text is about Romania, really cool one), Life, And Nothing More (love acab songs haha). It's perfectly sounding hardcore punk record with some cool experiments with a sound, and yeah, noisy enough. Cold Brats has their own recognizable sound as I've mentioned before. As I don't know much about punk scene in Bucharest and Romania itself, it makes it more fascinating. I've just heard this record 5 times in a row and many more in the recent months, it's more than worth it! Hope to see them live one day. IT'S 9/10
