Baba Sad – Öfke Hediye
Self released – 2025
Rock, Punk, Garage
Rated: ***

Fury, and intense anger, screamed at full force in your face! It’s not until the third song Kendin Ol that Baba Sad vocalist Dehan Kılınçarslan tones back on the force for a moment, a sentence or two. Three Turkish punks that scream about dented souls and the cruel society that produces them. And where many of these powerful punk albums usually become blunt because the walls of guitar noise keep up a same dulling effect, Baba Sad knows when to pull back on the force and opt for a bit of subtlety. And that’s when the groove picks up, takes over and has you dancing and jumping like a madman awaiting that moment when the walls come back in and tower over you. Case in point, the thrashy fifth track Ruşen, so wild, so fast and so furious. These young Turks throw caution in the wind, meaty bass work all over the place and high energy drum work that is always revving up your anticipation. Six tracks and almost twenty two minutes of sweat dripping punk, raw and intense. And this kind of music needs it raw, bloody raw…
