(record review)The Bouncing Souls-Crucial Moments(Rise Records)

Leave a comment

The Bouncing Souls are celebrating their 30th birthday this year with a celebratory tour that will take them to some places that they haven`t been earlier and also release their brand new six song e.p. with Rise Records and I listened and reviewed the new record for our zine.

194360

The New Jersey guys paved the way for many bands with their from the heart melodic punkrock with hardcore influences. The title song is just great piece of nostalgia and pride with video made with the collage of band video tapes from all the parts of their career, the song itself having totally contagious chorus. 1989 is fast hardcore miniature showing the always present hardcore rooted side of the band, short but sweet song. Favorite Everyhing is a typical Bouncing song, straightforward punk version of Bruce Springsteen, the feeling I often have when listening to this band. New New is rock n roll punk song with superb lyrics and fine tuned melodies for our listening pleasure. 4th Avenue is for me the best song on the record which I listened again and again being fast, energetic punk song with simple line, but great for giving you so much goosebumps. The last song, gentle Home takes us back in some happy place, puts smile upon our face and reminds us why we love this band so much!

(record review)SENF-Cinik e.p.

Leave a comment

There is no global scene without supporting your local scene and little bands that your friends play in, global scene is in fact the network of such bands, so I present you Senf, the band from the town Varaždin, Croatia and I listened and reviewed their new e.p. for our zine.

This is the third e.p. from the guys and I already wrote about the last one here. Senf is a band that has experienced guys that are in the scene for a long time now, from bands Rectal Destroyer, Fajrunt, The Hangover, Alkotest…This band plays crossover hardcore punk with a lot of metalic parts, stoner parts and pretty brutal vocals courtesy of their vocalist Ivda. But, at the same time their music has that melody and haunting way of playing, the line that is similar to all of the Varaždin bands with excellent musicianship, these guys can really play. This e.p. contains 6 songs, okay 5 plus a cover of old band Skorbut from Varaždin. My personal favorites from this record are Pas and Japa. The lyrics are in Croatian language, mainly satire, cynism, but there are a lot of contemporary themes that can be read between the lines if you know what I mean. Senf grows from e.p. to e.p. and I can safely say that this is their best material to date. Check this one out!
