Wow! I think Padme are the first band from Turkey to grace the pages of this zine. They recently released their brand new, third studio album. It features 12 songs and I was blown away how energetic and fast this record really is. This is hardcore punk, but leaning more on speed and anger, although there is enough melody in the songs to call it melodic hardcore. The lyrics are great, being a fine mixture of political and personal. I love the sound of this band, it reminds me of all those old school Californian bands like Circle Jerks, old TSOL and similar, even Verbal Abuse, yet with great dose of progressive, even fresh touch of song arranging. Speed breaks into atmospheric and melodic parts only to return to relentless hardcore punk. The vocals are awesome, being shouted yet sung nicely at the same time and the musicianship is phenomenal. This record is really a discovery! My favorite songs: Crossing The Line, Can`t Catch Me, 17.
