Hitch & Go from Quebec City have been around since 2012 but their line-up solidified in 2015 and this is their brand new full length opus out with People of Punk Rock. This one contains eleven songs and what immediately came to mind when first song started is, gods how this one rocks. It is totally fast and melodic skate punk like it was done in the nineties and having some pop punk in some song structures thrown in for good measure here and there. Sheep In Wolf´s Clothing hits you in the head with fast skate punk and beautiful vocal melody, bridge that transforms into anthemic and bombastic chorus just made for singing along at gigs or whole day when you think that nobody hears you, or you just don´t care if they hear or not. Vocals are strong and melodic with nice backing harmonies and remind me of Tony Sly a bit for couple of moments in almost every song. But, they sometimes transform into screamed parts and they fit perfectly in some hooks and grooves in song parts. Lyrics deal with every day themes, but they are nicely and great written. There is also special appearance of Scott Sellers in awesome If I Fall. My other favorites are Find Yourself and A Place That Doesn´t Exist. This record is a hundred percent proof that skate punk is alive and well like it was when I was growing up.
