(review) Harker – Axiom (Wiretap Records)

Wow! That is only I can say when I think of new Harker record. UK´s Harker have a new opus with 10 anthems of bedazzling melodic punk rock. The music is very uplifting and melodic, just made for singing along and humming to every fantastic chorus, guitar melody and vocal line. Harmonies between lead and backing vocals are done great and clever use of electronics only emphasize great songwriting skill of this band. This is not your fast skatepunk hardcore punk story, but thoughtful and cleverly imagined and written melodic punk with lots of pop punk influences. Lyrics are rather personal and I think everyone of us who lives can relate at least to one of the songs that is to become their personal highlight upon listening to this record. Mine are: Adulthood and The Grey Lady. This is for sure one of the best melodic punk records that came out this year until now.
