(record review)SUN-0-BATHERS-“Local Warming ep”(Morning Wood Records/Melodic Punk Style/Bearded Punk Records/Thousand Islands Records

Sun-0-Bathers are fast punkrcok from Leeuwarden, Netherlands. This band is new to the scene being founded in 2017. I am really glad being able to review this, their debut e.p. in my webzine.

The record contains 5 tracks plus intro/outro.

After the nice intro, the mayhem starts. This is just the music that I love. Fast, old school skatepunk hardcore with a lot of old school nineties influences. The only thing that bothered me somehow are the vocals sounding somewhat muffled and low and partly unrecognizable in some parts. These guys play their shit with heart, with soul and minds in the right place and this is an awesome release for the debut e.p. I just imagine how the full length with fresh material will sound, certainly more better than this. For me the best song on this record is for sure “Need Some More” with old school Circle Jerks vibe that made me nostalgic. I also loved an hommage to legendary Scott Radinsky. If I must compare, these guys reminded me a bit of old Spermbirds, being rowdy, but fresh and made for moshing and pogoing and going wild with other sweaty kids in the pit next to you.

8/10
