Brassick are from UK and this is their long awaited second full length album. What do we get here? For sure, an awesome piece of music. There are 14 songs of fast almost screaming angry hardcore punk with sociopolitical lyrical messages, antifascist stand, unity, equality and all the issues some people tend to forget and are important right now more than ever. The music is technically strong, with awesome barrage riffs, fast drumming, almost some crusty parts, bordering with trademark old school UK sound, then turning to some melodic hardcore punk catchy tunes and I love every second of this album. I would definitely love to see these guys perform live. Recommended songs: Vultures of the poor, They say, for fuck´s sake the whole album!
The Bombpops were always for me a band that was better sounding live than on their releases. Well, the new album is a candy for your listening pleasure. I can safely say that it is their best record to date, with so many superb melodies, anthemic singalong choruses. beautiful harmonies of the dual vocals. Jen and Poli do such fine job with interplaying their voices thus creating soundscape that makes you smile and brights up your day. Of all the 12 songs my favorites are hard to pick, but I will try. They are: Double Arrows Down, Sad To Me, In The Doghouse. This is one of the better albums that came out in this fucked up and sad year.
Part Time Killer are from north, precisely Finland and play the style of punkrock that I love the most. That means melodic skatepunk with both legs firmly in the nineties and all those old school Fat and Epitaph influenced bands. This record contains 12 songs with lyrics bordering on the fine line between personal and political and I as a fan, also as hardcore kid can relate to. Vocals are superb, hard yet melodic and backing vocal harmonies are heavenly. The songs are catchy, varied and I love every single minute of this album making it one of my favorite listens in the last two weeks or so. Personal favorites: Giving Up!, Welfare State, Insane And Free.
