(record review)AM Taxi-Shiver By Me

AM Taxi finally released their second album, the much anticipated follow up to their debut We Don’t Stand A Chance from 2010. I listened and reviewed this record for our zine.

148631

AM Taxi are hailing from Chicago, and they play a mixture of melodic punk with sensibility of pop melodies emphasized with awesome melodic voice by the singer Adam Krier. The album contains 11 songs of great melody, that relax you and take you to some other place and dimension, only to uplift you again with great anthemic singalong choruses and give you spirit strength to get through the day, and that is why music is the greatest medication of all, in my opinion. I love almost rockabilly intro in Swim Before You Sink, then turning to beautiful melodic chorus with lots of singalong parts. Also, one of the standouts on the album for me is Shaken Over You being for me probably the best song on this album, but like I wrote before all of them are worth your time and listening. I love this one!

(record review)SNIPER 66-Annihilator

Sniper 66 are hailing from Austin, Texas and I listened and reviewed their new record for our zine. If you like no holds barred hardcore streetpunkrock then this one is the right one for you.

The record contains 15 songs of aggressive and explosive, yet enough anthemic and melodic streetpunk with hardcore influences. The vocals are angry, yet singing and the songs like the title song or Why´d You Have To Die just make you pump your fist high in the air and circle pit around the room and I can only imagine how awesome these guys sound live when the deliver this bombs of the songs. Rarely some album brings emotions that make my batteries full and give me strength to fight on and strive for more and keep the flame of this scene alive and well. This album is definitely one of such albums. If you like bullet belts, mohawks, fast angry punk and singalong songs, check this one out because it is a keeper!
