Intro:
We're Erik & Jaka of the dutch label Rope or Guillotine. Erik plays in OUST and Jaka is part of GOLD and Leechfeast. We used to play together in Crevasse ERIK BIB - DELUX Label: Pop Wig Records Location: Omaha, NE, USA I seriously love this band! It sounds so fresh but not to weird... also all their songs are total gems and it feels genuinely punk. It's nice to be overwhelmed by a decent punk record again! ROTTEN MIND - Rat City Dog Boy Label: Lövely Location: Uppsala, Sweden I was supposed to book this band just before the pandemic hit the world. Im a real sucker for the swedish punk sound and this record and especially the song Beat of Street is such a fucking earworm... really nice punkrecord. SLOW WORRIES - Careful Climb Label: Adagio830 / Subroutine Records / Breaking Records Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands This band from Amsterdam that is often called to indie for punk and to punk for indie is the first release of my other label that i started in 2020. I fell in love with Slow Worries a long time ago and they have a very special place in my hear for personal reasons. Their new record is absolutely amazing, their songs became more catchier and noisier and louder over the years on top of all that they are the nicest and sweetest people i've met in a long time. Very nice record. JAKA SPECIAL INTEREST - The Passion Of Label: Thrilling Living Records Location: New Orleans, LA, USA I accidentally checked this release after seeing HIDE posting something about it. Fell in love with it right away! Street pulse beat was on the whole summer, what a song! Still need to get this on vinyl, really hope to see them live in the future, I'm really interested to see how that works. I just expect them to be really intense. BIB - DELUX Label: Pop Wig Records Location: Omaha, NE, USA Erik brought this to my attention, not too long ago and wow, was I blown away! Just like he said, it's great to be overwhelmed by a punk record again. There have been quite a lot of amazing punk releases the past years, but this really is one of my favourites.
