(record review)Eightbomb-“High Heeled Devil”

Slovenian band Eightbomb has been around a while and the guys have seen their share of touring action, ripping the stages accross many countries, having tons of great gigs, laughs, but also broken hearts when their guitarist Lou passed away suddenly in 2015.

Fast forward to 2018. and this is their brand new studio album. The music Eightbomb plays is not your traditional rock n roll, but also not your schoolbook rockabilly or psychobilly, rather it is a mix of everything above mentioned but at the same time the guys managed to retain the awesome dose of originality and energy, not being anyone´s clone. The album contains 8 songs just made for dancing and singing along at one of Eightbomb´s awesome gigs. For me, somehow the personal favourites of this album are “Killer Babe” and “A Scar”. Great album to listen to and just rock n roll the day off!

8/10

(record review)THE BOMBPOPS-“Dear Beer ep”(Fat Wreck Chords)

The Bombpops have been around now for more than a decade delivering their, as the name says melodic pop punk bombs to the crowds out there!

This is their new record and it contains four songs of epic melody and energetic punkrock. “Polluted skies” has a very dark vibe although having a great singalong beautiful chorus. “Turn up the thermostat” continues to deliver the same dark but melodic vibe and although it looks like a sunny shiny day judging by the music they play, The Bombpops deliver pretty hard and gloomy message on this e.p. “I call bullshit” is for me personally the best song on the e.p. reminding me a lot of Ramonesque style punkrock which made me love this music so much. The title track leaves me wanting for more and waiting hungry for the full length album.

8/10
