Same As You are relatively young band from Montreal, Canada and they recently joined forces with PCT musique to release both of their ep-s. I listened and reviewed both of the records for our zine.
Every record contains 4 songs, so 8 in total. The music this band plays is melodic mid tempo energetic punkrock with interesting deeper vocals which really got into my ears and I love the vocals of this band. The melodies of the songs are awesome, I love the nostalgia that Seven Years somehow brought up in me, it almost reminds me of punkrock version of a doowop song and all the readers of this zine know how much I love doowop hehe. The songs have enough personality, enough energy and charm that not one of them gets boring while listening. I love the anthemic, emotional chorus of Promise Me that takes me back to the day of my punkrock youth.
The Lies we told record is a bit more rawer sounding, but still shows all the force this band provides with their melodies and song structures. I love the title track in all its melodic but enough raw punkrock splendour.

Constant touring and the support of fans have enabled Unwritten Law to rise above the glut of rock and punk bands that have saturated the scene since Green Day exploded in the mid-’90s. Songs like “Harmonic” and “Teenage Suicide” show a depth …of songwriting and arrangement that few other bands of the genre obtain. Scott Russo sings tight vocals over an extremely impressive killer rhythm section. “Cailin” became a staple on modern rock radio stations. Outstanding tracks include “Coffin Text,” “Lonesome,” and “Holiday.” UNWRITTEN LAW is a strong record from an extremely talented outfit.

Italian pop-punk act Slendershas revealed a video for “Close To”, first single taken from the album “Angry Youth”out on February 15th via This Is Core. The video – directed by Lucerna Films – was filmed between Sardinia and Genova, the track was recorded at Lambda Studio by Simone Dettori. About the new song, the band says: “‘Close To’ is the first track taken from our new album ‘Angry Youth’. This song is an enormous outburst for us, an outlet against a world that we live and see every day. This song is intended to be a journey within the life of an immigrant from his point of view. It denounces a political system that creates a common enemy in racism, fueled by hatred and ignorance. Is it really worth one more life than another? In 2018 died about 13,000 people in our shores. Souls, broken lives swallowed by the sea. We dedicate this song to them. We say stop to this. This is not a political question, but a question of humanity, and ‘Close To’ wants to be the voice of those who do not have it”.
