INGINKU REJAM 10″ – REVIEW #05

April 18, 2012 reviews

note: one of the best reviews we ever had really. just like the MRR review (see below) this guy listened through the album and listened intently enough to pick-up certain things other reviewers would usually miss and dismiss. seeing that PE is usually more of a crust-biased zine, we actually hesitated to send this to them but probably we’re lucky it landed on a reviewer such as Jake. made our day!

INGINKU REJAM 10″ – REVIEW #04

March 18, 2012 reviews

Germany’s old zine OX, issue 100 (Feb/march 2012): judging by the machine-translation through babelfish; this is not much of a review but more like a run-down on other stuff related to the album. And there’s a mention of us being “crust” which is kinda “hmmmmmmm”

INGINKU REJAM 10″ – REVIEW #03

March 6, 2012 reviews

A review of the 10″ version of the new album by Maximum RocknRoll #347, April 2012. (click on image to enlarge and read)

*note: we recorded the album live but in a studio, not at a show. the reviewer may have thought otherwise. anyway, it’s a good review, so no complaints!

“CARBURETOR DUNG “Inginku Rejam Raksasa Kejam! 10″

Malaysia’s CARBURETOR DUNG has existed since the early 1990s, releasing two cassette albums, a 7″ EP and other recordings, so this is their first, long overdue step into a larger vinyl release. despite the band’s age, there’s a real immediate freshness to the sound of the eight tracks here, partly from the live tracking – which was done at two shows in 2007, then remixed in 2009 and mastered last year, making for a full and resounding recording. There’s no audience noise, and the roughness around the edges is something bands try to meticulously create now, as opposed to this, which is basically similar to the one-take near-live recordings of the early 1980s. The music here is solidly great upbeat punk that verges into and then pulls back and forth from hardcore intensity with great dexterity. Using the advantage of two guitarists to layer some great very ’80s early So-Cal punk style moments, where it’s undeniably aggressive but still retains threads of melody. Straight forward yet inventive, the final track is a melodic sing-a-long in ENglish with bleak lyrics and is reminiscent of the scruffy GRIMPLE or early LOGICAL NONSENSE melody with caustic yet clearly shouted vocals. Lyrics are great reflection of the band’s immediate political and social environment, with English translations and also really pure P-U-N-K lyrics about personal freedom and inviduality. Great release! (KS) (F.A.M.E.D.)”

Mabukkuasa 3-Way Split-CD Review #01

February 19, 2012 reviews

The first review of the MABUKKUASA CD featuring MDC (Millions of Dead Cops), THE BOLLOCKS (our Tom’s other band) and DUNG as appeared in Maximum RocknRoll issue #344, January 2012:

V/A – “Mabukkuasa” CD

This is an interesting release, as MDC paired with a duo of legendary Malaysian punk bands. The MDC material is split between some older out of print material and some really poopy acoustic stuff. Not to direspect a justly revered band, but nobody fucking wants to hear MDC unplugged, AGRESSION cover or no.

THE BOLLOCKS started out as a pogo punk band, but by the time these tracks were recorded in 2007 they’d evolved into a proto-crust band. Heavy, straightforward hardcore with metallic flourishes, kind of like POLICE BASTARD. I quite liked the earlier material of theirs that I heard, but this is really good too, definitely the standout band of the comp.

CARBURETOR DUNG present four tracks of odds and sods, sung mostly in Malay and reminding me a bit of the DEAD KENNEDYS, not so much in the sound as in their ability to play different styles, from metallic dirges to pop-punk, while retaining their essential sound.

This is a decent comp, hopefully it will get some kids into kick-ass Malaysian punk. (AU – Andrew Underwood)

NOTE: The CDs finally arrived at our friend’s in Singapore and we will be fetching them soon.

Inginku Rejam 10″ – Review #02

February 14, 2012 reviews

The second review we found for the Inginku Rejam Raksasa Kejam 10″, this time from PLASTIC BOMB Fanzine in Germany as posted on their site HERE, dated Dec 28th 2011.

According to Google Translate:

“Exotic punk / hardcore from Malaysia! And what … what?! The band has its own style. The pieces have a very good sound, what is this area of boards from Asia can not always assume. And the songs are really good. Angry, pissed off, but sometimes full of manic and destructive to the sense of cool rhythms, specific tempo changes and catchy. Some songs make me even memories of old Washington, DC Hardcore. This band is something special. These are 8 songs (7 in Malay!) On a colored plate (white, orange or white with orange splashes, lyric sheet (in English) and download code. All round lovely publication with a penchant for details. Because I know that there are many among our readers who are on Exoten-Punk/Hardcore, I have the 10 “just added to our mail order program – (http://www.famed-rec.de) – Micah / PLASTIC BOMB in the shop”

Thanks, PLASTIC BOMB!
