Tvivler means one who doubts and this is their debut full length album. The record contains 15 songs and the music of this band from Denmark is very interesting. It is basically hardcore punk, but has a lot of different influences in the smartly done song structures. There are classic d beat apocalypse songs, mixed with screamo atmospheric parts, evolving into almost atmospheric and gentle post punk parts of the songs. The lyrics are in Danish language, but I got the translations and English explanations of the songs, and the themes are forgiveness, fear, love, desire and basically all the feelings we as humans can experience and through which we can relate to. There are lots of fast upbeat hardcore punk songs with fast drumming, cutting guitars evolving into almost sad melodies and melancholy pure. The vocals are superb, also experimental weird saxophone parts fit perfectly to the songs they participate to. This is a strong debut album and I only wish to find out how this stuff sounds live on stage.
Bad Cop/Bad Cop are back with their third full length album out with Fat Wreck Chords. The girls have outdone themselves this time. There are 12 songs on this record, one being better than the other. For those who don`t know, they play energetic and melodic punkrock with multiple vocals, courtesy of Stacey and Jennie, great backing vocal harmonies and superb lyrics, from personal themes like love, depression and survival to modern and political themes like refugees, people who are left without their homes, sexism, feminism, anarchism and other themes. It is very hard for me to tell which songs I like better, but I will tell you some personal favorites of mine: Certain kind of monster, Community and Pursuit of Liberty. Superb album, I recommend you to go see one of their shows when this epidemic shit is over, they also rule live.
