(record review)GLUE EAR!-Pizza Skate(Horn & Hoof Records)

GEP

Manchester and whole of UK punk hardcore scene is pulsating and vibrating with awesome bands, labels, promoters, zines and I love it! I also love discovering excellent new bands like Glue Ear!, trio from Manchester, UK, whose new release on Horn & Hoof Records I listened and reviewed for our zine.

Skate Pizza

I don´t really know how to describe this release, is it double single, or is it mini e.p., who really cares? These guys mix punk, hardcore and ska and there are two songs on this release. Hoax is more of a ska punk song, but also having great melody and hardcore parts. Mr Plastic is straightforward a bit raw punk song with melody and tightness just made for pogoing and jumping around with your mohawk in the air hehe. This is a good band, but I wish there is more material on the record, because there is just too few songs to listen to and I like the band. I wait eagerly for the more material from Glue Ear!

(record review)Cardinal Birds-Children of the 1990´s e.p.

Cardinal Birds are from Ukraine and they have been together around since 2014. I listened and reviewed their new e.p. for our zine.

I just love discovering new bands, especially from the scenes that I don`t know much about. The Ukraine punk hardcore scene is mainly unknown to me, so I am glad that I listened to Cardinal Birds. After two singles, it was about time for the guys to release an e.p. It consists of three songs, intro being little Ramones like song that prepares us for what is to come. The music of Cardinal Birds play is, like the title of the record says, melodic punk with no philosophy, just straight on punkrock with 90-ies skate and Ramones core influence. Summer Nights is for me the best song on the record being driven with melody and good feeling.  One thing that this record lacks are in my opinion a bit stronger vocals, a bit stronger voice, more melody, more harmony in backing vocals and Cardinal Birds will be great. KillKillKill is a song that is very Ramones like but it is, how should I put it, too flat in some parts. But, the e.p. is cool and I am sure that the full length material will be even better.
