AK//47 - Barricades close the street, but open the way.


It,s a grindcore band from Semarang, Indonesia. Come up with their second full length that released in November 2007 by Grindcore Ninja Commando Team & Reservoir Records. There are 13 tracks inside it, fast, loud, simply riffs & double kick right in your face. No doubt that AK//47 is a band with special atitude with their music, talk a lot about political issue and their disagreement with many things that hapened in semarang Hardcore/Grindcore's scene.
Formed in 1999, their music is crossing over from punk rock, hardcore to grindcore. There are many style inside this one, it seem that they try to mix many various spirit inside their music and bang it to the edge with simple and straight lyrics. In some tracks also you can see that AK//47 very influenced by some NYHC bands like Sick Of It All, you can check that at the 9th track : Slave Who Wears Brown - It's another anti cop's song that played fast with simply riffs and Hardcore beat in common. It's quietly differrent with the 1st track that sound so grindcore according to bands like hellnation, yacobsae, etc. But Overall, this is grindcore for sure!
Hope you find this one, good for you who interested in "gone in a minute'  music. Or contact them at : apiaira@yahoo.com
