 "Under the notes of 'No Hope...' the melancholic and angry part of your being will finally vent its fears, giving you the feeling of being capable of anything."

 "The lyrics, desperate and poetic, are declaimed by Lucia's sharp voice, which, in my opinion, could eat the current Brody Dalle & Co. for breakfast."

Contropotere's 1989 album No Hope, No Fear captures the final phase of the Italian hardcore punk scene with sophisticated musicality and poetic, sharp vocals. Blending diverse influences from industrial to Mediterranean sounds, it transcends traditional hardcore norms. The album stands as a powerful cultural document, offering a dark, emotional experience and maintaining relevance beyond its era. Highly recommended for fans of raw, innovative punk. Dive into Contropotere's No Hope, No Fear and experience the raw emotion and rich textures of Italian hardcore punk at its peak!

 "If you still have the image of Henry Rollins from his Black Flag days... you’re making a gross mistake."

 "This is the classic CD to listen to with an empty mind, relaxing after a long day of work."

The reviewer approaches 'Nice' without prior expectations and appreciates its departure from Henry Rollins’ hardcore past. This album embraces a well-produced hard rock sound with jazz hints, featuring powerful vocals and catchy riffs. It's suitable for relaxed and party listening, with 'Hello' highlighted as a standout track. Overall, the album is seen as a pleasant and enjoyable standalone work. Listen to Rollins Band’s 'Nice' for a powerful, fresh take on hard rock—explore this underrated album now!

 The lyrics are, as always, of the highest level and Biafra’s caustic humor takes no prisoners.

 The next track, 'We’ve Got A Bigger Problem Now', is what I consider the high point of the record.

Released in 1981, Dead Kennedys' In God We Trust, Inc. EP showcases a shift toward hardcore punk, with sharp lyrics and political edge.
