Reggae songs and hardcore songs, a double soul searching for a personal way. The attempt is weak, because it doesn't reach a compact mix between the two genres. The lyrics touch the themes held dear by the politically commited punks: exploitation, racism, multinational companies, militarism. Hardcore-hippies in tune with the diy radicalism. Anyway a praiseworthy attempt.
Two anarcho-punk bands from Italy join up for an immense collaboration of music, message and politics. The cover is a large fold-out poster, in the style pioneered by CRASS, with lyrics and introductory information on one side and a poster on the other. All of the contents are in Italian, but the copy we were given includes translations of their anti-state lyrics and message. Musically, Rasta & Peace Corporation play a wide variety of styles from ska to reggae to fast punk rock, while Warfare? play a more refined style of powerful punk, with melodic twists and the level of variety know from bands like NO MEANS NO and FALSE PROPHETS. Overall, a pretty spectacular production, but the message may be lost to most of us without the English translations.
