PBP005: DYS - Andspyrna



















Melodic anarchopunk. Dark, yet upbeat and hopeful. Think Rudimentary Peni and Brother Inferior although they have distinct Icelandic sound to them that's hard to describe. Includes a remastered version of their first CD, Ísland Brennur.

PBP003: TENTACLES OF DOOM - Dansað við lík



















A brand new EP by post punks TENTACLES OF DOOM. Distorted, dark and melodic the way god intended post punk to be. 6 songs recorded on a cassette 4-track in their rehearsal space.

This is what I had to say in a different place about their first ep/demo.

I may be a bit biased as this band includes one of my best friends and some of the most wonderful people I know. But even so, this is probably the best Icelandic "demo" I have ever heard. Gothic post punk with a surf vibe to it. Very heavy on the Wipers influence but they wear it well. I can´t wait for their next release.
