Brix´n Mortar are young band from Salem, Massatchusetts formed in 2018. This is their first single, released as an announcement for the upcoming full length record. I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

This trio is formed in 2018.and they play their version of oi with hardcore/punk and they do it pretty good. This single features two songs. Besides the title song which is a true blood pumping oi/streetpunk song starting slowly and evolving the guitar melody into tight streetpunk with hardcore guitar background. What I love about this band are dual vocals, one harsh street oi and second more melodic one. The harsh voiced singer reminds me a lot of Discipline from Holland and I love it. The title song lyrics are about friendship, going to shows, proving yourself in the scene and singing along with Micky Fitz, may he rest in power. Awesome song. The kinda b-side of the single is Suburban Murders starting nicely with piano and guitar melody like some ballad. But, don´t be fooled, this is superb melodic streetpunk anthem, I still get goosebumps when listening to this one. The lyrics to this one are more personal about love and pride, being what you really are. I love the sound of the voice and harmony of the girl who did the backing vocals for this song. For me, this one is better than the title song. I can´t wait for the full album!
