The Slums from Canada and Bad Taste from France recently released split record with PCT Musique and I listened and reviewed it for this zine.

Both bands are represented with four new songs on this record. The Slums from Canada play a bit dirty, gritty punkrock ska which I love very much. It is melodic, energetic, yet not overly polished and produced as some bands are. You can feel the spirit behind the music and that is unfortunately not the case with many bands in nowadays scene. The Crow is definitely the best song on their side of the record in my opinion. If you are into nice dirty melodic ska punk, go grab this one and enjoy. Bad Taste are coming from France and they play melodic, but also gritty and harsher version of punkrock and I also love their side of the record and it is a bit better musically for my taste than The Slums side, but vocals are a bit too snotty for me, but excellent music covers vocals hehe. Don´t get me wrong, riffs are catchy, choruses are beautiful, so do not miss this one. Best song of this side: So Far So Good.

8/10
