(record review)URBAN OUTFIELDERS-Out Of This World(Hidden Home Rec)

Urban Outfielders are melodic/pop punk band from Idaho. I listened and reviewed their new e.p., out with Hidden Home Records.

UO out of This World Cover

Hailing from Idaho, these guys are playing great melodic punkrock with some pop punk influences. This record is an e.p. and it contains four songs. What is special about this band is, their lyrics are sports oriented hehe with a lot of fun but there are so great catchy guitar hooks and melodies, sing along anthemic choruses and awesome backing vocal harmonies that make this record really special. My favorites on this record are Where Did He Go(Tito) and also The Wizard Of Japan. But, you will have to listen all four songs and let this band in your ears, because they are worth it. I await eagerly for the full record!

(record review)The Brainiax-Rock N Roll Lobotomy(Batcave Records)

The Brainiax are just releasing their new record with the mighty Batcave Records. I listened and reviewed the record for our zine.

These guys are hailing from Portland and I must admit that I have never heard of them prior to this record. The music of The Brainiax can be described as psychobilly, leaning more heavily on the old school psycho bands like Demented Are Go, Batmobile and similar legendary bands. This record contains 10 songs of old school hard rocking psychobilly with some ska influences(Cape Fear), also, I can hear some doo wop rock n roll in No Way. The album is varied and in no way boring, with country influenced The Bastard Sun, for me one of the best songs on the album Devil Doll. Anyway, the best songs come in the last third of the album, namely Hideous Horrific and House On The Hill, being psycho hits for the new millenia haha. Good one.
