(review) HATEFUL MONDAY-Mermaiding Over Geneva(Live)

cover

Hateful Monday are no strangers to this zine, we already reviewed their record a while ago. This time, they decided to hit us with their live record. This one was recorded live in their hometown, Geneva, Switzerland, when Hateful Monday opened for Nofx in the Summer of 2019. I am sure that was a dream come true for the guys in the band, so this one was recorded to document that evening. After fantastic Bridge on river Kwai intro, we are in for 8 songs of beautiful melodic punk or should I say skatepunk. This live record was not polished and not mixed and rerecorded like some bands do. All the mistakes, all the rawness, emotion and energy of punkrock show can be felt on the record. The music is fantastic with songs like Dorian Gray Syndrome, Somebody and Carry Me Home being my personal favorites. So, go check this one out. Nice band indeed!
