I watched Teenage Bottlerocket twice during last four years play live and they destroyed it both times, being one of the best live bands I have ever witnessed. I met Ray and Kody and they are both down to Earth nice guys and I was very happy when I heard their new full length album is out with Fat. This time they offer twelve songs of their recognizable melodic punk rock, Ramonescore the subgenre of punk they helped give birth to and quite a number of bands play it now. That means, beautiful dual vocals of guitarists Ray and Kody, superb melodies and fantastic catchy up tempo punk songs like Ramones delivered decades ago. It is hard to say which songs I prefer because all of them are so great, but if I must, I would say that would be Youre Never Going Out Of Style, Hello Dana and Moving On. This band is so close to my heart that it is really hard to write objective review, but damn it, this is my zine, so I can write about what I like and dont give a flying f..k about it. This is for sure one of the best punk rock releases this year.
