(record review)ARISING FROM-Contemplating the unknown(Thousand Islands Records)

Thousand Islands Records never ceases to amaze me with the bands they release and this time I listened and reviewed the new Arising From e.p. so read the review.

Cover ep

This Montreal punkrockers already released one e.p. and the music these guys play is strongly inspired by the 90-ies melodic punkrock, mostly all the Californian punkrock bands you know so well, but the guys managed to stay fresh and retain a certain dose of originality not to sound like anyone˙s clone. The record contains 5 songs and I personally liked Return to sender the most. It is totally melodic, ultra harmonic in your face punkrock anthem and I enjoyed it a couple of times in a row. There are also some pop punk influences on this album like for example in Your beliefs or One life. The lyrics are personal as I understand and I love them, they pass just perfect with the song structures. This is an awesome e.p. and one more proof of the beauty, versatility and the talent of the Canadian punkrock scene.

8,5/10

Quitters is a Punk Rock indie quartet formed in 2015 in Montpellier After a few dates in France, the band releases their first EP entitled Move On to Honest Things in May 2015 on four European labels (Krod Records, Bad Mood Asso, Inhumano and Dingleberry Records). Then follows several tours that will take them to Chile, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland…

In 2017, the debut album Good Night Memories released on eight independent European labels including Inhumano, Bad Mood Asso and Dingleberry Records. With the same desire to defend independent culture and Do It Yourself. This year also marks the arrival of Roma in the group and the resumption of tours in England, Europe and the USA.

In January 2019, the second EP Singing Like Nobody’s Listening will be released.

These are the first songs composed with Romain on drums. They were made between Montpellier and Grenoble. Rom living 300 km from Antho, Jerem and Dookie, the exercise was to ping-pong the songs without ever repeating until a satisfactory result was achieved.

The ep was recorded in June 2018 with RomTom Cat and is called Singing Like Nobody’s Listening.

The meaning of My Own Worst Enemy is that the real difficulty is not the problem but the way the person manages it. You can be disenchanted, frustrated, lost, hopeless but at the same time realize that there are so many positive things in this world. It’s all about choice, about making the decision to pursue these things as long as you can.
