This band from St Etienne (France) was partly composed of members of UNEVEN (oldschool HC) and this mini-album was released in 2001. Musically it is calmer, between melodic hardcore and melancholic emocore.

LEGITIME DEFONCE / CRANK : split - 7"

 

A small split released in 1998 on Diabolik rds. LEGITIME DEFONCE was from Toulouse, France, and played a very melodic and catchy punk. CRANK was from Sydney, Australia, quite similar, a bit more melodic hardcore. Both bands have released several EPs and albums.

KENEDA : whatever you can say - CD

 

I discovered this band from Orleans (France) on the "Opposite Run" compilation. They played melodic hardcore, perfect for skateboarding. They released a demo "Greenpower" in 1996, which I would like to listen to again. Here it is their first album, released in 1997. Their melodic hardcore is more mature, and ventures towards emo and noisy influences, close to SEVEN HATE sometimes. Another album will follow in 1998

SO CALLED UNLIKE : toys are not us - K7

Another french band from the 90's, 1996 to be exact. They was from the East area, near Besançon I think. On this demo, you can listen some cool melodic hardcore, maybe like SEVEN HATE or French bands you can fin on the compilation "Opposite Run". After this, some members make SECOND RATE. Thank's again to Laurent for the rip!

SURFACE: redançao + building the future - CD

Je vous met deux CD dans cette archive. Peu d'info pour ce groupe du Brésil. Je les ai découverts sur la compile "up the grrrl" sorti chez Panx rds en 2000, et consacré aux groupes Brésilien féminin. A la base et sur leur premier album, le line-up de ce groupe était bien féminin. Par la suite, c'est devenu un groupe mixte. On trouve ici le second et troisième album il me semble. Leur zik c'est un genre de punk mélodique bien sympathique et gentillet. Des titres tout simples et entrainants, suffisamment pêchu pour donner le sourire. On pense logiquement aux groupes de chez Fat Wreck Chords, Epitath ou Burning Heart rds. Par rapport au premier disque, les titres sont un poil plus travaillés, voir emo dans le feeling.

nice and melodic punk from Brazil, with femal voice.

FREYGOLO: resist to exist - CDR

Groupe de Nice qui s'est formé fin des 90's, et continu de jouer et de sortir des albums. Je sais pas se que cela donne actuellement, mais à l'époque de cette demo (2000) c'était du punk mélodique plutôt speed, teinté de passages ska sautillant, école MILLENCOLIN. J'ai mis 2 demos, et les rips ne sont pas de moi.

DE CREW: slackers - CD

This CD was released in 1997. It's band from Italy. here, they was playing great hardcore music, full of of energy, catchy and positive fury. A good mix about oldschool HC, skatecore, and posicore like some others Italian bands. Great!

BODA - Difficile De Se Perdre Quand On Ne Sait Pas Où On Va - CD

BODA était un groupe Breton de la fin des 90's qui jouait un punk mélodique et énergique bien cool. Proche de la vague skate hardcore melo, mais parfois teinté de passage emo ou de coup de speed. J'aimais bien. Ils ont un split CD avec un groupe plus punk d'Argentine, ETERNA INOCENCIA, et une demo K7 (si quelqu'un à le rip pour cette dernière, je suis preneur!)
