Low Punch - Act...revolt...live...

Low Punch - Act...revolt...live..., 2000 Slovenia Choose Life Records, 2000 HC, Screamo (13 tracks, 24min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 47MB) Not FLOORPUNCH but LOWPUNCH. Besides the name, there are also a lot of musical paralles. LOWPUNCH play classic 80ies old school with very fast drums. Musically you know what you get: dance-parts, sing-alongs, etc. They really know how to present the old school. The songs sound powerful and have lots of spirit. The riffs don't get boring and songs like "it's not over yet" or "..." add even more diversity. "Act...revolt...live" does not get boring although it lasts almost 40 minutes and carries 24 songs (including their old demo). The production is clean and tight. The lyrics deal with our modern society, the punk and hardcore community, the idea of d.i.y., racism, homophobia, etc. Everything is kept really political but without being docmatic or superficial. There's NOTHING about this record that I don't like and if you're into thoughtful old school hardcore you should go for this one! ''KEEP THE FAITH'', Christoph ------------------------------ From start it may sound a bit predictable, but later songs develop in to very listenable hc. At the 13th song you'll be listening really loud and wishing more. Mastering was done by one of the Slovenian best guitarists Bor Zulijan. I don't know if that means a lot, but it must something. :) !I have left out tracks form 14-24 because they are old demo recordings and I find the album very more real without those demo tracks! You can still BUY this album here and here and you won’t regret it! There is also an explanation for all lyrics which is very great. Low Punch MySpace Low Punch Official Download
