The first one comes from The Netherlands; the band is called The Fifth Alliance and their first EP is titled "Fear Consumption" and contains 4 songs of chaotic metalcore (may I call it mathcore?) in the vein of Converge, Burst, Botch and the likes. There are some more "straight" parts influenced by Walls of Jericho (a girl is singing in the band, I guess that's why I made this reference), but the total result is a bit chaotic and definitely not an easy listening... If you like the bands I wrote above / the style I described, then this is for you. But even if you are a simple hardcore kid - just like me - give it a try, it's interesting! Great production & cute artwork included.


Keep It Real fanzine issue 7 is still hot & available and finally we accept trades, so get in touch to work out a deal! We wanna release issue 8 as soon as possible (there's still a plan for a end of January release, but I guess that this is a bit of impossible to happen, sorry...), so help us get rid of the copies of the previous issue; we still have around 40 in stock... And don't forget that with every order from our distro you'll get free cds / stickers / posters. If you have a band and wanna get a decent distribution in Greece, just drop us a line, we'll be more than happy to help you out!
As for shows, the Angry, Young & Poor festival vol. 1 is coming on 31st January 2008. It's the first World's Appreciated Kitsch's event for 2008 and we guarantee that it'll be a fucking great party time. We just confirmed the final line up which consists of 2 foreign hardcore bands; True Believers from France and To The Embers from Italy, plus 3 local ones; Toxica Apovlita, Nowayout and Human Battle, all from Athens. The ticket is 10 euros and the fest is sponsored once again by Dildo Tattoo Studio, Avopolis:Core and Keep It Real fanzine, while we proudly endorse PETA. You'll get the poster during the weekend! We'd love to see ya at the pit!
Peace. Respect. Unity.
