Apart from giving us The Highlander, William Wallace Braveheart, football and beautiful country for tourism, Scotland also gave us some great and legendary punk hardcore bands. Today we are talking about The Apparents and their e.p that I have listened and reviewed for this webzine.

The Apparents were formed upon ashes of some of the members˙ former bands, as the guys say, to play the kind of punkrock they would like to listen to. The record contains five songs of epic and melodic punkrock. “Nothing Is Set In Stone” is an anthem celebrating life and telling us that we should live every day of our live to the fullest because life shouldn´t be taken for granted. It is an awesome pure punkrock song. “Reali-TV” is a street punk song dedicated to the people losing their touch with reality by watching the screen and becoming slaves to the tv and not living their lives anymore. I loved this one, it has that Business/Cock Sparrer vibe. “This Is Scotland” is the story about the independence and being free from slavery and it is angry but also melodic punk song. “Tory Boy” is a politically charged song and it reminds me why punk formed up in the first place, as a fist in the eye of the establishment. Ir has an awesome oi bridge in the middle of the song. “Fuck Religion” shouldn`t need explaining, it is a strong stance antiwar and antireligious dogma song and I love every second. This is a very strong record. Can˙t wait for the full length!
