(review) Milhouse Van Halen-1(Horn & Hoof Records)

Milhouse Van Halen is a drummer for Tio Rico from UK and this is his new release out with Horn & Hoof Records. I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

The e.p. contains two songs of acoustic and heartfelt punkrock and one is relative short song called Unemployment which hits right in the target with nice melody although it is short and another one is a bit longer called Paper Lanterns and it is a nice bit of melodic and acoustic punkrock. Horn & Hoof plans to release a 12 EP’s over the course of 12 months and this is the first one in that series. Interesting idea and interesting music, so give this one a try.

(record) SOUTHPAW-The Darkness Inside(Jukebox Romeo Records)

Remember Southpaw? A while ago we did a review of their great record called Disconnected and now is the time for us to listen to the new stuff by this great band, out with Jukebox Romeo Records.

I love how this band managed to sound dirty, gritty, yet melodic from their last record to this new one without losing that primal punkrock fast energetic touch. They still sound to me like a cross between Cancerslug and Jughead´s Revenge, the latter especially with the awesome raspy and melodic vocal lines that this band provides. There are four songs on this new record and all of them are just perfect, so it is very hard for me to divide which one is my favorite. If I must, I would go with Do You Remember and Lost somehow being my favorites. The song structures are varied from faster, more straightforward hardcore punk to slower and more emotional song parts making the record one perfect whole to enjoy and listen to over and over again. To sum it all up, another superb record by this great band.
