The Bare Minimum are a four piece punk band from Toronto, Canada and they have a new record due out any time now. I listened and reviewed their new record for this zine.

This record with funny but also great title contains 7 songs of energetic fast paced punkrock. I can hear a lot of garage punk influence in the songs of this band, so I would describe their music as a mixture of hardcore punk old school and garage punk with a lot of energy and aggression. I really like this record! Somehow, the song I like the most on this record is Safety Pin being a true fast punkrock anthem, the one for enjoying live and I can only imagine how these guys sound like live. I bet they˙re awesome. This record is fast and short and leaves you desperate for more, so I think this is the marking of an awesome music and awesome record!

This time of the year is somehow best for bands like this one, so ladies and gentlemen, ghouls and ghoulettes, I present to you Grave Danger! I listened and reviewed their record for this zine.

These guys are coming from Berkeley, California and they play a unique mixture of ska and gothic, called skath. This e.p. contains 3 songs of awesome dark, dancable and melodic ska punk with brass instruments covered with gothic darkness and nice goth atmosphere. It is like a soundtrack for some weird but great horror movie! All three songs are awesome and this combination works well, but Escape From Skull City somehow works best for me as a song being outstanding! I really can˙t wait for the new material, judging by this e.p. the full length will be absolutely awesome.

(record review)Real Talk-Arrivals(Anchor Eighty Four)

Real Talk just released their new e.p. Arrivals via Anchor Eighty Four and I had the privilege to listen and review this record for our zine.

The record contains four songs of melodic punkrock/pop punk with a lot of melody, eager to make your day better or worse, depending the mood you are in hehe. The first song I Can´t Help But Notice, somehow takes you to the sunny days of Summer, running all night with your crew, feeling the warm breeze on your face and listening to the ocean waves, thinking you are able to conquer the world with your friends and wishing to stay so forever. The second song Bury Me Easy is one of my favorites on this record, somehow being grittier, more compactly hitting my face and ears with nice jump along and singalong chorus. The title song is a nice song whose melody stays long in your ears and head afterwards the listening to the record. The song of the record is the last one, Temporary, which just made me listen to it over and over again. I am not ready for pop punk everyday. But, when I want to listen to some, this record will always be one of my favorites.
