High-octane skate punk with soaring female vocals and relentless energy. Polished yet punchy anthems for road trips and basement mosh pits.
CF98 delivers a shot of pure adrenaline straight from the Polish underground. Their sound is a masterclass in modern skate punk, characterized by lightning-fast drum fills, crunchy melodic guitars, and Karolina's powerhouse vocals that cut through the mix with infectious urgency. It is music that feels like a summer afternoon spent at a concrete skate park, full of scrapes, sweat, and a sense of total freedom.
What sets them apart is the seamless marriage of technical hardcore speed and pop-sensible hooks. While many of their peers lean into the 'pop' side of the genre, CF98 maintains a gritty, driving edge that honors the 90s Epitaph and Fat Wreck Chords legacy. The production is crisp and modern, ensuring that every palm-muted riff and harmonized vocal line lands with maximum impact without losing the raw spirit of a live performance.
Start with the album 'This Is Fine' or 'Dead Inside' to hear the band at their most refined. These records showcase their ability to balance social commentary with personal introspection, all while keeping the tempo high enough to keep a crowd moving. It is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who grew up on the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks but wants something fresh and contemporary.
