ONSLAUGHT “Power From Hell” (1985)

You know, even if I was a big Heavy Metal listener in the mid-late 80’s, it doesn’t mean I listened to them all.  We didn’t have Internet and I was living in a small village (300) near a small town (40000).  This week while listening to a classic Slayer record on Rdio I looked to the similar bands suggestions and clicked on Onslaught, which I only knew by name.  My very first reaction was, Wow! I really wish I knew this band in the 80’s! Totally my genre.  And further in the album I thought, this guy sings like someone I know very well.  Then it came to me.  Paul Mahoney sings like GBH singer Colin Abrahall!  In fact, Onslaught sounds like GBH but plays their instruments like a Thrash Metal band…or vice versa…you know what I mean?  Huge Punk influence, perfect blend of Thrash and Punk. Great record…btw!

WHITE LUNG "Sorry" (2012)

This is the kind of Punk music I like. Energic, very raw, short songs and a rebellious spirit. This Vancouver quatuor is made of 3 woman (vocal, guitar and drums) and 1 man (bass). 2010 album "It's the Evil" has been named Punk album of the year by the Exclaim! magazine. "Sorry" is made of 10 tracks for a total of nearly 20 minutes; only killers, no fillers. I totally love this album, this will get a heavy rotation in my car and headphones!



My favorite tracks in order:

• I rot
• St. Dad
• Bunny
• Those Girls

DZ Deathrays "Bloodstreams" (2012)

Dance-Punk, Noise-Rock, Thrash-Pop, name it! One thing I can tell you for sure, this music is far from being annoying. Bang your head with DZ Deathrays, a great Australian band that is just perfect to fit a good airplay in my car this summer. Great Garage Rock sound with an Electronica kick in the butt...and a Punk attitude.
