My Review: Padkarosda - Sötét Végek

Padkarosda - Sötét Végek

Budapest, Post-Punk, Deathrock, Goth, Hardcore and Punk.

What would you like to be able to write about the most extraordinary Hungarian band?

Take rags, candles, light sheet metal and fear nothing: start the album and you will find yourself with an anger that has its own logic, a propensity to lose your balance and make your legs a forest full of brambles. The music of Rómeó Veréb, Gergő Vitéz, and Viktor Böcskey is pure adrenalin, non-stop, a liquid contrast of our senses, an electricity of the air that seems to have no desire to land.

Hardcore soul helps, for sure, but then the currents mentioned at the beginning of the review induce reflection. One is stunned not only by clear references, but above all by the way in which the ten punks seem to come: some from the 70s, others from the 80s, with a care for sound that enhances everything as if the songs were played live in our garage at home. Punk establishes a pact of non-belligerence, but pushes to fit in: 'rich dish I'll shove', this is surely the thought of those from the west who would like to take a stand against this music from the east which, mockingly, does not make the line but shows better and more effective weapons. 

Wonder to be repeated, because when listening enters this territory there is always something to learn...
