 Adorno | The Black Heart Rebellion

I think Adorno will never get tired of releasing new records again and again. This time it's a split 7'' with the Belgian sreamo-postrockers The Black Heart Rebellion. This record is definitely better than the splits with Eric Ayotte and Sugartown Carbaret. Try it and buy it!

Adorno | Sugartown Cabaret on Facebook

Adorno is a band you should already know - beautiful post-hc/emo/punk straight outta Portugal. Sugartown Cabaret from France go a similar way, but more diversified and with some post-rock influences. Unfortunatley, the playtime of this 12'' is quiet short and the songs are not the bands best ones.

See ya & stay punk
