(record review) Dry Life-Consumindo Ignorancia

South America has an awesome, vastly undiscovered and big underground hardcore punk scene. Dry Life are coming from Brasil and I listened and reviewed their new record.

cover

The record contains 12 songs and the music these guys play is melodic hardcore. By melodic hardcore I don´t mean here Californian skatepunk style, more of a melodic hardcore with punkrock influences and the songs and melodies made me sad and somber during listening. I know that this should not be the case, but that just happened.  I don´t understand what the guys are singing about, because all the lyrics are in Portuguese language but as I get the titles it is a mix of personal and political lyrics. The vocals are nice, neither shouted nor cheesy, so they fit with the music really, really well. The backing vocals and harmonies are also done like they should be done. For me, the highlights of the album are Sorrisos Perfeitos and Moda.

Nice record, get and listen to this one, the miles should not divide us, because the great music will always connect us!

8,5/10

Garage Rock

For Fans Of… Best Coast, Surfer Blood, and Jay Reatard

Rock the way it’s meant to be played: sincere, pained and impassioned—imperfect. These noisy albums echo with reverb, bristle with sentiment, and thrum with a palpable energy. Sometimes lo-fi, sometimes, dreamy, but always raw and real.

Ska-Punk

For Fans Of… Less Than Jake, Streetlight Manifesto, and the Interrupters

Quick streaks of guitar glinting against catchy horns, a restless bass quick-stepping beneath a rocksteady drumbeat—these albums combine cues from the second and third waves with pop-punk’s rowdiest, most honest melodies.
