Ukraina Polska Mafia Demo ’84 EP
Raw, ripping hardcore from 1980s Polish straightedge punks. There’s an obvious MINOR THREAT influence to the songs on this resurrected demo, but that’s really just the jumping off point. UKRAINA takes a slightly more aggressive approach, with gruff vocals plastered across sharp riffs and full-throttle drumming. It’s easy to see why this band became an inspiration for many young punks across Eastern Europe, and Refuse has done a fantastic job contextualizing their impact by including a rad booklet with the group’s history.
