Noname, The
Fortress Besieged
Sounds like a tribute to The Clash, but it can also be harder and heavier. The Chinese cracker is supported by veterans of the alternative music scene from all over the world, who contribute their impulses and new nuances. 'Waiting For The Day' was created together with the anti-fascist Spanish punk band Non Servium, which has already celebrated its 25th anniversary. The street hardcore band Acidez from Mexico, who have been around since 2003, shake things up against racism with anti' and call for creative resistance. From Amiland come Big D & Kids Table, founded in 1995, who contribute the best Boston skapunk on "scream To The World'. In addition to the musical fist in the face, they deliver a chant with almost poetic lyrics. The Parisian punk and power pop band 'The Choices' are more melodic on 'Warrior Of Faith'. Swedish street punks Perkele from Gothenburg, founded in 1993, take an anthemic approach on 'Go Down'. No title could fit the lyrics better than 'fortress Besieged'. An already ailing regime of injustice is besieged until it collapses. The call to revolt is a cry for change and freedom, but also a celebration of the joy of life in a chaotic and exciting existence. Anyone who misses this album is missing out on a piece of punk history.
