cover

Yeah Sure are punk band from Kentucky and this is their e.p. which is in fact a concept album about funny thing of getting high with sasquatch, they call themselves cryptid punk.

This e.p. offers 6 songs of dirty, raw, almost rehearsal, garage punk rock, played kinda sloppy and with don´t give a fuck attitude and funny lyrics, but underneath there are enough horror punk influences with some really nice melodies coming out underneath all punk don´t give a fuck song structures. You gotta go with Shark Week, and song titles ordered in concept, check this out: He Is, Just, In A Cabin, In The Woods, Watching, Shark Week. Nice, eh? If you are looking for sloppy cryptid punk with fun and done diy then go support this one.

(review) Trashed Ambulance – Leapfrog e.p. (Thousand Islands Records)

cover

Trashed Ambulance from Alberta, Canada are in no way strangers to the pages of this zine and I am glad we kicked off 2021 with their new e.p. out digital with Thousand Islands Records.

There are three songs on this e.p. For those who don´t know it yet, Trashed Ambulance play more technical version of epic and fantastic melodic fast skate punk, bordering somewhere between old school nineties melodic punk I love so much and newer technical modern skate punk with fantastic guitar work and songwriting coupled with some of the sweetest harmonies and melodies I have listened in a while. Vocals remind me a bit of mixture between Fat Mike and Chris from Propagandhi, great voice, but maybe only I hear that similarity. On The Mend is fast song, having melancholic line throughout whole song, being my personal favorite on this record. The title song is punk rock song with awesome chorus just made for singing and humming along whole day after you finished listening to the record. Throughout all songs, there is a soft, melancholic, almost sad and nostalgic vibe that I feel while listening, but I love the feeling that music gives me. Delinquent is the last song and it is again song that leaves you only wanting more and more. Can´t wait for the next full length.

Returning from the band’s first European tour and with Colton Siegmund as the new drummer in their team, Drip-Fed set up a studio in their own place exactly one year ago and recorded their new album with guitarist Chris Skiles as the main producer. To give some final magic touches to the sound, they had Kill The Buzz mixed by Beau Burchell (Saosin, The Bled, Moose Blood) and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Touché Amoré, Torche).

Move Right Through Me is the first single off of Kill The Buzz and it kicks right in where the band’s self-titled album had ended. Kicking in with a hard knocking drum rhythm, followed by pissed vocals, heavy as well as fuzzy guitar sections and a groovy bass, the song delivers the perfect amount of power hardcore-punk fans need.

Lyrically, Move Right Through is about “moving through life in a haze. Spending each day in such a fog that the human experience isn’t fully felt and the passing time doesn’t mean shit” as singer Jeff Blum says, who wrote the song sitting in a laundromat.

Kill The Buzz will be released March 26th, through I.Corrupt.Records in Europe and Head2Wall Records in the US. Pre-Orders for vinyl and CD are available from www.icorruptrecords.com and www.head2wallrecords.com.
