Rebel Assholes are French punkrock veterans with over 500 shows done in Europe, Japan and China since 2003. They supported bands like Anti-Flag, Good Riddance, Satanic Surfers, Snuff, Beatsteaks, Lagwagon, Mad Caddies among others. Also, they did an extensive tour with Burning Heads in 2012./13. with more than 60 shows.
Now, they returned in 2019.with some line-up changes, guitarist Jean Rem is now the band´s singer. They also recorded a brand new 5 song e.p. (Headed for)dysphoria and they released brand new video for Heads on Pikes, song taken off the new e.p.
Japanese skatepunk/melodic punk scene never ceases to amaze, so 04 Limited Sazabys are no exception to all the good bands coming from over there.
This record contains 3 songs with English titles, but as I can hear they are sung in Japanese language. The music is more modern version of pop punk/melodic punk with a lot of tempo changes, some modern solutions in the catchy and melodic riffs and beautiful vocals coupled with some atmospheric parts. Of three songs being Puzzle, Montage and Cycle, I would say Cycle somehow got to me the most and I liked that song the most of the three. This is a great little record for all the fans of pop punk melodic and flying all over the place.
