Yaw - Atlantida Zuzenean (2012)

Our personal favourites Yaw did a live recording at Atlantida Studios and they have just uploaded it for everyone to get a bite of their music (as they always have). It features two previously unreleased songs that keep all the vibe from their Australia EP. It's still shouted, still music from the heart and mind, still in basque language and still great. Pay special attention to "Kontraesana naiz", something a little bit different from what they usually deliver. You'll fucking love it.

The archive contains all the lyrics in basque, spanish, catalá and galego.

01- Hemengoa lazgarri zait
02- Kontraesana naiz

Sport - Demo (2011)

Very interesting band from Lyon, France. They play some kind of post-hardcore with a delicate scent of post-rock but it is really difficult to label it, it's got some emocore influence too. Reminds me of lots of bands in each song, from Iron Chic to Explosions in the sky. Quite wide style. Gruffy voices and clean and delayed riffs.

01. Athènes, 1896
02. Calgary, 1988
03. Cortina d'Ampezzo, 1956
04. Mexico City, 1968
05. Los Angeles, 1984

Slight Similarities With: Iron Chic, Explosions in the sky, Latterman.

Hot Water Music - Exister (2012)

Since "Drag my body" came out to make us salivate like Pavlov's dog, Exister has been one of the most expected albums of this prolific spring. Gainesville, FL's favorite sons are back with the album that will make number ten on their count. No break-ups can stop HWM. New album starts from the top with "Mainline" as if they had never disbanded to come back a year later. Still energic, still heartfelt and still delivering some of the catchies melodies sung by a unique voice.

01. Mainline
02. Boy, You’re Gonna Hurt Someone
03. State Of Grace
04. Drown In It
05. Drag My Body
06. Safety
07. Exister
08. Wrong Way
09. Take No Prisoners
10. Pledge Wore Thin
11. No End Left In Sight
12. The Traps
13. Paid In Full

Ihes Naiz - Fulland (2012)

Another great band coming from the rainy lands of the Basque Country. This time the guys come from Zarautz (Gipuzkoa) and I label them as "Basque Jawbreaker" even thought they don't sound exactly like the legendary american band. But they've got a lot of influence from Schwarzenbach and his descendants, apart from other punk rock and emo acts. Definately their sound is built up on lots of 90's punk rock and vocal melodies are essential part of their style with all lyrics in Basque language. Sometimes they are close to Face To Face's melodic hardcore too, memories from the previous bands of its members (Harlore, Mantisa). Give it a try because they have put a lot of emotion and affection in this record and it is totally worth it.

01- Fulland
02- Ez Naiz Dirudien Gizona
03- Beirazko Panpinak
04- Garai Txarretan
05- Ametsa Amaitzean
06- Eskola

Joyce Manor - Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired (2012)

Hard to label this. Not punk, not indie, not hardcore but a mixture of all the previous and some ingredients more. I like this one more than the self titled. It's shorter and funnier in my humble opinion. Punknews gave the #1 in the staff's list, I don't really know if that matters so much but just in case you should download it and check it out yourself. Worth it.

01. These Kind of Ice Skates
02. Comfortable Clothes
03. See How Tame I Can Be
04. Drainage
05. Video Killed The Radio Star
06. If I Needed You There
07. Bride of Usher
08. Violent Inside
09. I'm Always Tired
