Czech chain-punks SCOOP quickly have become one of the most active and exciting hardcore bands in their native country on little more than a two-song digital single and, more importantly, a raging live show. The quintet now offer up their debut EP, the five-song Curb Justice 7”. Fusing the subterranean grime of Hoax, the ripping d-beat of Totalitär, and the vitriolic chug of crossover acts like Power Trip, SCOOP channel raw and primal energy without burnishing the edge off their razor sharp riffage.

Featuring a line-up consisting of Prague show promoters, local backline technicians, and members of other Czech hardcore acts like TCHERT and LIFELIKE, SCOOP is an ensemble of dyed-in-the-wool punks who have culled the gnarliest components of their underground world to make some of the ugliest and most adrenalizing bursts of electrified fury out there. Starting with opener “Morningstar”—a minute-and-a-half rally cry on par with Integrity’s “Vocal Test”—Curb Justice bulldozes the listener with its relentless stomp. From the beatdown misanthropy of “Wanna Quit,” through the tempo-shifting misery anthem of the title track (featuring Peter Pawlak of SPY), and culminating with the spit-soaked ferocity of the closer “Unwanted,” SCOOP are on a mission to wreck everything and ruin your life. Pushteek sublabel Crocodile King is proud to release Curb Justice to the world across digital platforms and on a limited edition run of 300 7” vinyl EPs.
