(review) Fat Chester-Comeback Reality(SBÄM Records)

cover

Fat Chester are coming from Austria, they play punkrock and this is their brand new record.  The record contains 11 songs of melodic punkrock and the music of this band is not the fast machine gun skatepunk, but rather thoughtful midtempo punk with lots of heart, interesting strong structures and above all beautiful melodies. The lyrics are in English and they are dealing with personal themes and humor and fun. Yes, you read it fun. There is a song called Punk Bride which caused some uproar in the internet and social network circles proclaiming the band to be sexist and similar shit, which is not correct. Since when did punk become so safe, so sensitive, so caring about other people having fun, making jokes, just look at Fat Mike and all that Vegas shit, like he said something that was not funny, It was. But punk lost its touch from rebellion, uproar, mayhem and became a safe place for too sensitive internet warriors. But, I am digressing, this record is for me a mixture of Menzingers, Nothington and Off With Their Heads. When I was younger I really hated such punkrock being too slow and cheesy, now it suits me fine. For me the highlights of this album are definitely Salvation, Slave and Skate and Punk. Good one.
