Moskwa Jarocin ’84 LP
MOSKWA is from Poland and I believe that they still play once in a while, or at least they did until the pandemic happened. They started in 1983 and I hear some similarities between them and G.B.H., although MOSKWA tends to go faster and faster while having the same kind of song structure and 1-2-1-2 drum beats. MOSKWA seems to like to push their music to the edge where it feels like everything is just going to fall apart, but everytime it gets to that point, it’s like whiplash and they’re back to a solid verse or chorus. I like bands that play with reckless abandon, and that describes this record. It’s wild hardcore punk. I’m happy to have this.
