Hans Roofthooft is known in the punk scene as the singer of F.O.D. but also as solo musican delivering great music. I listened and reviewed for our zine his new solo record out via Morning Wood Records.

The album contains 15 songs in now recognizable Hans´style being a mixture of acoustic and standard instruments played melodic punkrock. There are almost folk punk influenced songs, at least they sounded to me like that for example in Misses Moody. One of the highlights of the album for me is sad trumpet and the sad vibe of Apprentice. The lyrics of the songs are personal and pretty mournful but still give hope for better tomorrow to me, the listener. Prudence and Passion has one of the sweetest backing vocal harmonies that I have listened in a long time. Almost pop dreamy melody of Nothing Like The Sun made me go out and feel the warmth of the Sun on my cheek. Beautiful. New York is also one of the most beautiful songs on this album for me, I listened to it over and over again. But, not to reveal every song to you, my hungry reader and eager music lover, you will have to listen to the album and find out the other beauties for yourself. Awesome record!
