Hailing from Singapore, Daily Ritual give us an 8 track album of infectious, melodic, political punk. Musically this is in the same vein as Red Dons and Masshyseri, while the lyrics to songs with titles like “Surveillance” (We got no place to hide from their eyes), “Desperation In A Police State” (This is a police state / We hold your passports / Your access to freedom…) and “The Siren” (When the sound of siren starts to wail / You know they’re coming here for you) are inspired by life living in a totalitarian state. This is just a great LP, music to make your heart race and lyrics to engage your mind; this is punk rock!

4490-07 | FERAL TRASH - TRASHFICTION CS TAPE  $5SGD (Last Copies)
So imagine you were trapped on a desert island with nothing other than the first three WIPERS records and your own feeling of inescapable depression. You spend everyday of your life breaking open coconuts, hating life, and listening to "Youth of America" for the 10,000th time. Then one faithful day, a MASSHYSTERI record washes up ashore and changes your life. Their jangly pop songs cut through the sorrows of your dark anguish. Never curing you but giving some genuine relief. Once the rescue ship comes, and you returned home, this might be the kind of music you'd create. Although these guys are from Canada, so maybe I should have used some kind of snow related metaphor. Never the less, FERAL TRASH play dark and catchy punk that is unapologetically rooted in the WIPERS sound, yet has a modern feel to it. Their 7" was awesome, and this LP is even better. Totally worth tracking down. -Maximum Rock n Roll (Originally released on vinyl by Dirt Cult and P.Trash)

Punk yes, but they were still able to edge through each track with blistering riffs and intense guitar solos all over. A good combination which was well-executed in this release. Overall, this 2nd EP is on par or even better than the 1st one. Good songs, good sound. For fans of Motorhead, Annihilation Time, Inepsy, Burning leather, Skitkids and more etc.

Two bands from far east are teaming up to deliver this powerful split 12".

4490-01 | SARABANTE - Remnants CS Tape (Sold Out)
Not reinventing the wheel by any means, “Remnants” is rather an impressive flurry of the d-beat hallmarks, accentuated by a stellar production job that gives much of the band’s melody all the attention it needs. The concise tracks like “Blindfold” stands up as evidence as clean guitars dominate while their vocalist continues his fierce, throat defiling vocals. The title track’s opening conjures up huge melodic riffs while the bass is ridden with a filthy tone and captures the dichotomy of this band, throwing heavy melody and unpolished aggression into one melting pot.

“Remnants” is an album whose writing, recording and eventual release was stalled for a few years due to the band’s line-up changes but finally some stability found its way into the Sarabante camp and it’s hard to think that “Remnants” is the band’s first album. The record is executed with the precision and skill of well-seasoned soldiers. The end result is that this is just good d-beat – plain and simple. -Cvltnation (Originally released on vinyl by SARA records)
