After more than ten year hiatus Twenty2 released the new ep via Morning Wood Records (Europe) and New School Records(USA/Canada). I consider myself lucky being able to listen and review this record for our zine.

Coming from Montreal, Canada, Twenty2 have been active from 1997.until 2007. In 2013.they regrouped and slowly started to work on the new material and here it is. This record contains 6 songs of melodic punkrock/skate punk with great melodies, uplifting guitar hooks and anthemic choruses made for you to pogo, love, dance and sing along. If I must compare the music to some bands, it would be like my favorite No Use For A Name crosses paths with Good Riddance(another of my favorite bands) and here it is! There are some guest performances by Stephen Edgerton(The Descendents) on I´d rather die which is my favorite song on the record, totally reminding me of NUFAN and Tony Sly´s songwriting style. There is also a guest performance by  Al Nolan from The Almighty Trigger Happy. This is not fast, hardcore stuff, this is punkrock with emotions and heart to back it up. Great stuff!
