12'' splits
Adorno + Sugartown Cabaret - Split - £6
Adorno are one of the best emo bands of recent times, serious. The sung vocals are up there with the likes of Yaphet Kotto, the rest of the music slightly more mellow. Here they contribute two songs of absolute quality. Sugartown Cabaret have a more standard hardcore sound but are enjoyable too.

Moment Of Collapse
Tunguska + The Bold And The Beautiful - Split - £7
The Bold and the Beautiful started in autumn 2004 with a few members of punk bands from Lublin area (AntiChrist, Silence, G.C.M., Poem After Auschwitz, Unanimous Society's Paradox, AntiCop). They had an idea to connect fast and angry punkrock with old style sarcasm in the vein of early '80 hardcore and with political but not always deadly serious lyrics. They call it Gitwa Punk and if you like Siekiera (a polish old punk 'legend') you know what they mean - fast and furious crusty powerviolence, aggressive and in your face. On the other side of the split you find Tunguska - Irish/Polish hybride with heavy and dark monumental neocrust mayhem. Totally devastating and powerful wall of sound in the vein of Silence, FAR, The Dagda, etc.
