The legends are back! 90-is skatepunk heroes Ten Foot Pole released their first new full length music in 15 years with Thousand Islands Records and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

Led by Dennis Jagard, the guys released 11 new songs of melodic punkrock/skatepunk that takes me back to the times when I was a younger kid with these guys being all the time on my tape recorder playing their cassette all over again. Judging by the singles that were released prior to the record I knew I will not be disappointed. What I love about these guys is that they managed to recapture the old spirit and vibe, atmosphere with the new record taking old school to the new millenia.  Everything Dies and Don´t Be A Dick we all heard prior to the record, but real jewels lie later like Numb, Victim Of Humility, The Jackals….The mix of faster and slower songs is great on the record, I also love synth(is it synth, keyboard) parts in some song structures like in said The Jackals or The Antidote. Dennis´vocals sound better than ever and the musicianship and new songs are really convincing and crafted to stay with us fans for long time. I would love to see the band play live, I have never witnessed them live before, I am happy that I will get the chance now. Awesome record, probably also a candidate for one of the best melodic punk releases of this year!
