(record review)THE RUN UP-Good Friends, Bad Luck(Uncle M Music/Real Ghost Records)

Leave a comment

Melodic punks from Bristol, UK released their new e.p. via Uncle M Music and Real Ghost Records and I am really glad that I had an opportunity to listen to this record and review it for this webzine.

413470

The record contains 5 songs, one being instrumental, that thematically somehow summarize being DIY punk band and all the joys and problems it brings while touring and trying to keep it up as a band. The song  The Upside of Being Down is a mid tempo punkrock anthem to friendship, enduring in hard times, hope and the vocals totally fit in the music being neither too melodic nor too harsh. Check out the video for that song that the guys made it is right below! I really love the UK punkrock scene having so many bands and records coming out almost every week and month! Captain is another strong song with nice guitar work and my personal favorite on this record. I love how this song turns into faster skatepunk anthem in the middle of the song. Etherial Ghost somehow has that sad vibe, nostalgia that I can not explain that made me day dreaming of better times and happy places. Keep Going gives the listener hope and leaves him/her with a smile on the face and with full heart. This is a strong record!

(record review)ABANDONED BY BEARS-Headstorm(Victory Records)

Leave a comment

The new album by Swedish crew Abandoned By Bears will be released on August 24th via Victory Records. We were lucky to listen to the record and review it for this webzine.

171736

The album contains 11 songs and the music these guys play borders somewhere between modern melodic hardcore and pop punk. On the one side you can get chugga chugga stop and go breakdowns like in Drowned Out and also more calmer and tender melodies with backing vocals like in Outrun Reality. Some people in the scene don´t like such bands claiming that they only jumped on a bandwagon to grab some glory, girls and money. I don˙t think so. I am also more into old school faster stuff but albums like this are really sometimes refreshing to have a go and listen for a while. There are some faster parts like in Held Against You.  I love the title song and the video those guys made for it. I also love Greyscale very much. It is true that some songs on this album might sound similar but there are more great songs on this album than those sounding similar, so this is a good record.
