Hangtime are hailing from Toronto, Canada and their new e.p. is for sure one of the contenders for best melodic punk record of this fucked up shitty gig and festival free year. The production is awesome, fantastic guitars with catchy yet simple riffs just make you smile upon listening and that smile doesn´t come off your face all through the day long after you finished listening to the record for the fifth time in the row. Songs like Too Many Days, My Only One or my personal favorite Start All Over don´t offer anything revolutionary new or special, but this is a lesson how you can do quality and energetic sing along pop punk/melodic punkrock without too much philosophy, just sweet vocals, great backing vocal harmonies and superb songwriting. I heartily recommend this one to all of you who love your punkrock driving, melodic, with personal lyrics that anyone can relate to and sing along with for days. Fantastic!

(review) ZOMBIESUCKERS-HUNT YOU DOWN

Halloween and that special time of the year is close, so more and more horrorpunk is featured on the pages of this zine. This time, our Sweden favorite horrorpunk band Zombiesuckers delivered their new e.p.

Everyone who loves horrorpunk will find here what they are looking for. That means ultra melodic yet harsh punk riffs backed by clever use of keyboards that add to the atmosphere of old school horror movies, lots of ooohs and aaahs for singing along to backing vocal harmonies and some nice metal influences in guitar riffs and last but not least, gore soaked lyrics filled with horror.

The vocals are superb, avoiding the trap that some young horrorpunk bands do, that being bad clones of Danzig˙s voice, no, this guy sings with such superb voice being fantastic part of the songs. My personal favorites of these five songs are the title song, Hotel and Demons.

Fantastic, like we are used to from this horror from the north!
