Pittsburgh punk band World’s Scariest Police Chases is streaming a brand new single titled “MODERNBASEBALLISWAR” off the upcoming release, Ablum 3, out October 12 on Say-10 Records.

Pre-order Ablum 3 here: https://www.say-10.com/store/wspc.

At the end of 2016 World’s Scariest Police Chases started the recording process on what would become their third album, titled appropriately enough, Ablum 3.

Drums and bass were tracked at David Klug Studios (Rozwell Kid, The Minus Tide) in Pittsburgh, while the band was simultaneously finishing the writing and demoing of the songs.

The guys tracked guitars themselves, and then re-amped them and started on vocals back at Klug’s.

Ablum 3 was mix/mastered by Justin Francis (Anti-Flag, Roger Harvey, Edhochuli) in Nashville at Sound Stage Studio.

Kid Rock contributes guest vocal on the album, as the band stole a lyric from him on their song “Adolf Hipster.”

(news)Audio Karate Releasing Lost Recordings 7″ EP This Friday; Listen Now To Band’s First New Music in 14 Years

Beloved So Cal punks Audio Karate are making the most of their recent reunion. In addition to upcoming shows with Descendents and an appearance at The Fest next month, the band has unearthed songs from a “lost” recording session that they did after the release of 2004’s Lady Melody, which will finally see the light of day when it’s released as a 7″ EP this Friday, September 28 via Wiretap Records.

The EP marks the first “new” music from Audio Karate in 14 years, making it essential listening for fans of the LA 4-piece.

Pre-order the EP here: http://wiretaprecords.limitedrun.com/products/628311-audio-karate-7-ep.

From Audio Karate:

By the end of 2006, Audio Karate was no longer on Kung Fu Records and had stopped playing shows. Jason decided to build a studio in a garage in Montebello, CA. He, Justo and a family friend constructed the room within a room, ran the electrical, sanded the drywall, and painted it themselves. They called it Lady Melody Studio.

“Bounce” and “Landing” are two of 13 tracks AK recorded at Lady Melody Studio. They’re also two of only three songs recorded with Mike Jimenez (Rufio) on drums.

Audio Karate called it quits in 2007. Jason dismantled the studio and put his MacBook with all of the song files away to collect dust. Until now.

This 7” is a time capsule. It’s the first single from their forthcoming album, Malo, the unreleased, nearly lost follow-up to their second album, Lady Melody (2004).

“Bounce” is a freight train jam that picks up where “Jesus Is Alive & Well” left off. It features Art delivering his finest punk rock James Brown vocals and Jason and Justo in their prime.

In “Landing,” Art ditches his vocal-bleeding growls for falsettos. It’s a layered, anthemic track unlike anything AK has ever done.

The AK crew is happy to finally share this music with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as the guys enjoyed making it more than a decade ago.

Pobre for life.

(record review)NO REAL HERO-The Forest(Thousand Islands Records)

Leave a comment

Canada is for me still unexplored territory with so many awesome bands coming to my attention every month and this time it was my pleasure to listen and review for our zine the new e.p. by No Real Hero from Montreal, out on Thousand Islands Records. Read on!

a1745146762_10

This record contains an intro called Opening and five songs of melodic punkrock. What immediately comes to mind how tight musicianship sounds on this record. The first song Comfort in Sorrow is a nice, personal mid tempo punkrock song with a memorable melody, beautiful chorus and energy. The vocals are very important to me in this genre of music and the vox on this record are just awesome, neither too sweet or snotty which I don´t like, nor too harsh which I also don´t like in this kind of music, meaning these are just right. Broken Waters keeps up in the same pace as the first song, but has some interesting tempo changes and some grooves which make it an interesting song to listen to. This Is Home is musically and lyrically top song on this record for me. Rather dark lyrics which I can relate personally to, and excellent sing along fist pumping chorus make this song a killer! The Forest For The Trees is yet one more killer song on the record, fast paced and it kinda reminded me of Propagandhi, I don´t know why. Red And Black is fast paced and awesome track, a bit dark in lyrics and music, but fantastic to hear. This record is just great, I recommend it.

9,5/10
