Brigada Flores Magon – IMMORTELS promo

BFM promo shoot

Hey guys, MirceONE here and today we are having the new release by Brigada Flores Magon. I am a bit nostalgic and happy to write about them, cause I discovered them in 2003 along with others groups like: Ya Basta, 86Crew, Klasse Kriminale or Brixton Cats also from France, on various odc channels. They formed in Paris in the 90’s and their name is coming from Ricardo Flores Magon ( a leading inspirer of the Mexican revolution from 1910, ok, enough with history now) and shortly they release a split EP with Opcio K95 in 1998 via Mad Butcher Records and two years later in 2000 they have released their self titled LP, in 2001 is coming Anges Gardiens and 2003 Rock Or Die. Now this album called Immortels is coming 15 years after Tout Pour Tous and 2 years after the band reformed. It has 10 new tracks in their style of sing along anti fascist, street punk/oi.  Their militant and combative message is still strong and unchanged. So in 2020 the Brigada is back and now in 2022 a collective of labels are supporting this new material international such as: Machete Records (France) / Discos Machete (Mexico) / Rebel Time Records (Canada) / RASH GDL (Mexico) / PM Press (USA) / Dure Realite (Quebec) / RASH USA (USA) / SHARP Rio De Janeiro (Brazil) / Three Way Fight (USA) / Unite And Win (Brazil) and in Europe the album is released and distributed by Cortex (Germany), Motorcity Produzioni (Italy) Machete Records (France) and Potencial Hardcore (Spain). The digital version is available on their band camp and physical copies will be available international in 2023 and in Europe in December 2022. What an amazing release and really happy that the band is back in business and hopefully I will see them live in Mexico soon. Go ahead and check them out.

Rebel Time Records promo – Asbestos – ST digital cassette.

Asbestos band

Hey guys, MirceONE here, here is a small update and promo from Asbestos. They are a band based in Montreal, Canada and this February they have released a short 5 song digital cassette. The sound is a mix of streetpunk, oi with post-punk and hardcore influences. Members of Asbestos they have play in bands like: Action Sedition, Union Thugs and Jeunesse Apatride. They sing in french so i must say honest that i don’t understand everything (my french lessons were soooo long ago) but the mix is amazing, melodic and raw with choruses for sing along and fists in the air. Message about social life, poor people and addicts all packed nice with real streetpunk from the streets. Strong anti fascist message and i must say it is on repeat. The cassette like the band says is an international effort from labels like: Dure Realite (Montreal, Quebec, Canada), Discos Machete (Mexico), Rebel Time Records (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada), Kale Borroka (Euskal Herria/Spain) and La Distro Elle A Mauvaise Haleine (France). So check them out on Bandcamp and FB. Big thanks to Randy, Rebel Time Records. Cheers. Also do not forget to check the great stuff that Rebel Time has in store HERE.

There are 15 new tracks with a mix of Anti Flag meet Dead Kennedys, Angelic Upstarts or DOA. The band lyrics are about politics, injustice and day by day issues of the world.
