Double Negative are international punk band with members from UK, Greece and South Africa which only proves how world gets smaller place day by day and the music binds us all.

There are 14 songs on this record. The music this band plays is beautiful melodic punk/skatepunk with super melodic nice vocals, perfect backing vocal harmonies, nice guitar riffs and nice mixture of midtempo punkrock and fast songs. My favorites on this record are Forbidden Beat, what a chorus and guitar solo, also Only Static and Age Of Apathy. I love the music, being more of an old school nineties influenced melodic punk with no holds barred and no philosophy, just emotions and melody. The scene is filled with technical skatepunk these days, but I love old school skate/melodic punk, this is a jewel.

I must admit that I have never listened to Catbite prior to this record. Catbite side of record has two songs, one being cover of The Clash. I love the melody of Horizontal Aggression, Brittany˙s vocals fitting just perfectly. Catbite are more on melodic and lighter side of ska punkrock with a bit of The Interrupters touch in the songs, I couldn`t help being reminded of that band. I would love to hear more Catbite songs in the future. Omnigone are no strangers to this zine, having reviewed their full length record a while ago. These two songs, are nice, Scratch Me Up having more of a cracksteady, harsh vibe and Nothing New being more straightforward melodic ska punkrock song. Good bands, good little split record!
