(record review)THE ROCKET DOGZ-“Bad Blood”(Doghouse Recordz)

I first heard this band when they played at Trash N Burn couple of years ago. I liked them very much after their set there and I was very happy when this new record arrived.

Cover

The Rocket Dogz come from Prague, Czech Republic. They play psychobilly with punkrock, horrorpunk and rockabilly influences. The trio sounds very tight, very powerful and they are certainly one of the strongest European acts in that scene nowadays. They played gigs throughout the years that made them very loved and respected in the scene. The album contains 13 tracks with lyrics in English of course and I loved the energy and melody on this album. Everything in the song structures is just perfect, melodies, riffs, vocal lines, voice, backing vocals and of course, the lyrics. You can´t go wrong with songs like “Cemetery Walls” or “Slaves of the Darkness” or “Blood Moon Rising”. This is an excellent album that not only psychos will like, but also punkrockers will enjoy these blood soaked tracks.

(record review)THE BENNIES-“Natural Born Chillers”

Australian scene never ceases to amaze me and THE BENNIES from Melbourne are one more band I discovered and fell in love with immediately.

This is their new album and I had a privilege to listen to it and review it for this webzine. The album contains 8 songs of party music. Meaning melodic punk with anthem choruses for singalong, garnished with a lot of reggae parts and a lot of harmony on vocals and although it still snows a bit here when I write this review, I already feel the Sun warming  on my face and making me happy and making all the troubles far and bringing smile back to my face. The absolute highlights on this album are “Dreamkillers”, “Apathetic Revolution” and the title track. The clever use of psychodelic miniatures, reggae and melodies make this record a keeper! Nice one!

8,5/10
