Hemiptera - Notti Nere (Guest Review by Darren Bourne)

  



   There must be something in the water in Brighton, England. The home of one of the most influential
Crust Punk bands Fall of Efrafa, who still to this day, seem to have a huge cult following & Hemiptera
are heading in their footsteps, and doing a superb job.


  So, if you’re missing that style, and if you want some Melodic Anarchist crust with cello, then look no
further, because these are the new kids on the block & they’ve nailed that style & are making their
own waves. Songs that build up, and build up, then come crashing down & destroy anything in its
path, yet, leaving you going back for more.


  If you’re a fan of bands like Light Bearer, Cwill, Morrow, Ekkaia, Archivist & of course Fall of Efrafa,
then you may want to check these guys out, and some of the spoken word parts remind me of early
90’s French Emo (but in Italian) and for a Demo, the 5-track tape has come out great.




  The full Demo can be downloaded name your price here:




  They have some Demo tapes & shirts for sale over on their Bandcamp page & gigs planned, so go
check them out live, because these are good people, with good politics, and that’s just what I want
in my punk rock.

  And the stand out track for me is Notti Nere...
