Fastloud are hailing from Barcelona, Spain and this is their new record. On this record we get 10 songs of fast skatepunk/melodic hardcore punk. I love this record, it is just the way I like such music, simple, fast, no pretending and having great melodies in vocal lines, cool harmonies and catchy songs made for singing along or humming to the melody. They remind me a lot of all those old school Epitaph and Fat bands in the glorious nineties, meaning No Use For A Name, Lagwagon, Nofx and similar, having a lot of fire and passion in their songs. The lyrics are personal and I think anyone of us can relate to them, they are not coded messages in slowed down songs, hehe. My personal favorites on this record are: The 4th Wall, Strangers and Side By Side.

8/10
