Norwegian punk scene is a new and mostly unexplored territory for me, but I discover more and more fantastic bands each day, and Cockroach Clan is one of those bands. Their record is out with Fysisk Format.
These guys and their songs date back 25 years and the vocalist of this band is none other than Messiah, who sang for Mayhem back in the days. But, let us focus on Cockroach Clan and leave past be the past. This record contains 12 songs some being new recordings of old hits as well as a handful of new tracks and a cover of Mountain Goat’s Going to Georgia. The music is hard punkrock, streetwise punk with head and tail, anthemic melodies and hymnic choruses just made to inflame your old punkrock heart. This is not some mellow pop punk emo, this is punk with balls and soul. Songs like Cockroach Fandango, On An Island or Facts On The Wall are sure to become your favorites. Super band, great record!

Housewarming Party are punk band from Salt Lake City and they just released their debut full length album. This band was formed in 2016.and released, as they say it, two and half e.p.-s until now and this is their debut album containing 11 songs. The music of Houswarming Party can be described as melodic mid tempo punkrock not unlike The Menzingers, Nothington, The Flatliners, Lawrence Arms and similar bands, meaning heartfelt melodies in vocal lines, beautiful melodic guitar riffs, memorable choruses and harmonies on backing vocals. When I was younger, about ten or so years ago, I would just laugh and wave my hands on such bands because I was only into faster and more hardcore bands, but I like these now. The songs like Cinderblocks, Work Week or Original Muscle Beach are sure to become your instant hits with this band. A strong debut indeed!
