I played in Bangkok in 2006 (same tour I mentioned yesterday). Four fellows from Singapore came to see the show and hang out (the latter being much more awesome than the former) and they were nice as hell, just solid dudes and great to spend time with. And if this tape is any indication, I really wish we had stopped in Singapore on that tour in addition to Thailand (I made it there two years later with CONQUEST FOR DEATH, and it was great). STRONZA perfectly bridge the gap between early '00s fastcore/thrash and later '00s Scandinavian (by way of US basements) melodic crust. Defiantly feminist and proudly defiant in a place where that actually means something, STRONZA's approach to punk rock is...well, it's just right. Members went on to SLUTET and probably a load of other bands....fukk, I need to go to Asia again.

Sweet!
By any chance, did you manage to get tapes from Thai bands while in Bangkok?
No....we only played two shows in Thailand, and there were no tapes to be found. A few CDr demos, but mostly metal. There punk scene now is growing though...
