Dental Records from Toronto is relatively young label and this is their second compilation that they released couple of days ago. Judging by the first one, I knew what to expect, knowing this label is oriented on melodic punk, skate punk and pop punk. There are ten bands in 19 songs represented on this compilation. Some of them I knew from before, like Hangtime which readers of this zine know that they are one of my personal favorites. But, real discovery are bands I never knew before like all those bands that I was discovering through compilation tapes in the nineties when I was growing up as a hardcore kid. All bands represented on this record are epic, but some that really stand out as my highlights are Giant Eagles from Holland who incorporate synth melody to punk rock so fantastic in Bloodlust Tonight creating almost gothic atmosphere. 7 Minute Martians from USA are also awesome, being melodic punk just the way I like it. Wishful Thinking from Australia have that nineties old school skate melodic punk nostalgic vibe awoken in me while listening. Japan´s Stone Leek are also superb being a bit harsher and more heavy but melodic. So, go discover your favorites and get this nice compilation and support the scene and cause worldwide.
