Fair Do’s release new single ‘Consolation’

Leave a comment

Fair Do’s return, gathering momentum with this melodic sing along shred punk anthem, to mark their third single this year!

“When the apocalypse comes, and it will, we can all take consolation in the fact that every greedy, lying scumbag that has led us there will die a gruesome painful death.” – Fair Do’s

‘Consolation’ is Fair Do’s third single this year, released with the support of Thousand Islands Records (North America) and Lockjaw Records (UK/EU).

The band’s new music reflects the frustration and hopelessness of the working-class left-wing in the past five years, existing in the time of Boris, Brexit and COVID-19. Fair Do’s have been writing and recording in isolation, during the bleak winter lockdowns, creating an improved, heavier, tighter sound out of a disquieting experience.

Consolation is available on digital streaming platforms.

(review) No Quarter – The Air Up There e.p.

Leave a comment

Do you remember No Quarter from Australia? I reviewed their record couple of years back. This time, the guys released a three song e.p. and I have the honor to listen and review this one for my zine. The title song is acoustic and it is a heartfelt ode to loss, heartbreak, losing a family member and coping with grief. I experienced that too much in my life already. I love the song. My President is a re-recording of an old song, being classic skatepunk fast melodic anthem with superb harmonies, guitar work and vocals. What most surprised me is a Metallica cover Damage Inc and No Quarter practically blew me away with their merciless cover of this thrash metal classic. Nice little e.p. Check out other releases by this great Australian band.

Vinyl will ship first half of 2022.The ferocious follow up to 2016’s ‘A Common Agony’ features lightning-fast skatepunk tuneage and is the band’s most technical and refined music to date. Includes guest artists Steve Rawles (Belvedere), Étienne Dionne (Mute), Geir Pedersen (Adhesive) and Valérie Morin.Of the new single  the band says: “Life is a journey that has its ups and downs, and even though the ideal path is a straight clean line this is hardly never the case. Even the easiest of routes can have unforeseen challenges that surface with no warning. Such as a ship that is misguided bythe force of nature that we could not have predicted, our lives are also rerouted in different directions because of the lies of those around us that force us to take alternate decisions. We’re on unstable ground and with the right entourage the key is tofind the balance between what is right and what is wrong”
