Crossover genres that merge Rock or Metal with Rap seem to be the rage in these days - just think of the recent bangers by Germany's Gebrüder Manns , or French artist Lewca . And here is a trio from the Sunshine State that presents some amazing Rapcore or Punk Rap - this is New Plague Radio! It all started with rapper Chief Redeye looking for musicians to join him on his 2019 album release show. The talented vocalist and lyricist found guitar player Donovan Wolfington , a Berklee graduate, who then brought in  Devin Taylor , bass player with Stretch Zero. While the trio prepared for the show, they discovered their shared love for vintage cartoons and foreign horror films. But that w...

The year 2021 began with a wrecking ball produced by the band, as in January Marie  (vocals), Annika  (guitar, vocals), Karin  (bass), and Sabine  (drums) released their single "Different Voices". The track is powerful battle cry against patriarchy, sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and oppression. Here are the "Different Voices"! Gebrüder Manns' 100%-testosterone-free sound is a sonic journey back to the mid-90s. The quartet presents powerfuly Crossover built from harsh Funk licks combined with Hardcore breaks in the verses. A melodic leads into a raging Nu Metal anthem of a chorus, and thus makes the 1990s moshpit perfect. With lyrics partially shouted, sometimes sung, and dominantly performed as rap, "Dif...

Picture Credit: Snailmate   Snailmate - Donuts in the Rain Release Date: February 16, 2021 Length: 02:48 Genre: Electro Punk / Synthwave Origin: Phoenix , Arizona , USA The first line in the lyrics of "Donuts in the Rain" says: 'I wish I had met you when I was alive'. As od as that may sound at first, it is a perfect introduction to the song's content. Phoenix-based duo Snailmate takes on opportunities in life on this release. "Donuts in the Rain" is a song about chances in life that grant you to re-discover and re-invent yourselves. It is about changing tack, realizing flaws and issues, and consequently changing for good. Music-wise, "Donuts in the Rain" is a savage bastard of Synthwave, Electro Punk, and Rap. A heavily swirling synthesizer makes the verses sound like an intense heartbeat. As the song goes on, the tension rises, the impact of Punk Rock increases until the song finally discharges in a massive Electro Punk chain lightning. Cont...

Picture Credit: Ali Bla Bla Ali Bla Bla - Island Release Date: February 19, 2021 Length: 03:35 Genre: Rapcore / Hip Hop Origin: London , England Ali Bla Bla's new song is an exorable and unvarnished take on the situation of people who are read with a migrant background in England (and Europe in general). Ali Bla Bla tells from his own experience, being an English-born person who has never been fully accepted as a part of the British society. It is an example that applies to all people with foreign roots on this white continent - including the British Isles. Growing up like this is a life defined by marginalization, ostracism, and isolation from the very beginning on. We are living in the year 2021, and yet, insularism, racism, xenophobia still have to be discussed. "Island" is a sobering and yet empowering song. For those who have suffered from this kind of injustice, it says, you are not alone. For people like me it is a call to check our damn privileges and solidarily ...
