#193: POLE*/STROKE - “split”

if you’ve been active in the 90s hardcore scene, you for sure noticed that POLE* is quite active on instagram lately (2020/2021). a new shirt was released too. POLE* was discussed in the 90s a lot, but i just can’t remember what it was all about. i’ve never seen them live either (i think). 

i have to admit that i don’t know that much about both bands, beside that they are from germany. the split-7″ was released via pateline industries (further details on discogs). on the inside of the cover there are the logos of pateline industries, life force records, inside view magazine, and XconsolidationX fanzine. i’m not sure what’s that about.

both bands play this metallic kind of hardcore that was big when bands like CULTURE or DISEMBODIED became popular. the two STROKE-songs are more straight forward exactly in this metallic hardcore-way, the two POLE*-songs combine this with some crossover-elements. crossover was still popular in the mainstream at this time. 

the production of both bands is really okay, but this split-7″ is actually none that i’m enjoy listening to today, 25 years (holy fuck!) after it’s release in 1996.

We just walked downstairs, and when we got outside there was a pumkin, like a ripe ass pumpkin, just on our apartment door, but it's late January, and that's a pumpkin

Listen to some Chalkline... emotional straight edge 90's (newschool) metalcore! ...reminds me of bands like Pole* and Drown In Frustration - which you probably dont know either :P But could also be compared to some more known bands, like Split Lip and Falling Forward I guess ;-)

Possibly my next blogspot post!
