Da Strike

Millencolin’s third album arrives on Semaphore with the band at peak velocity—a Swedish melodic hardcore outfit channeling the kinetic energy of '90s punk and ska into hooks sharp enough to draw blood. Da Strike balances frenetic drumming and angular guitar work with earworm choruses that burrow deep, proving these Gothenburg natives could compete with any American straight-edge crew of the era. The production captures every collision between chaos and melody, making this an essential entry point for anyone chasing that specific intersection of melodic hardcore and punk aggression.
