One Hidden Frame are hailing from Finland and have been around in the scene since 2002. They recently released their sixth full length album and it contains twelve songs of melodic hardcore punk, mainly fast and energetic with some technical skate punk influences here and there reminding a bit of Propagandhi like in awesome Watch Out For Your Head On Your Way Out. But, besides hardcore mayhem there are also some bombastic anthemic choruses like in Run To The Rescue With Love or Information Blackout. I missed them at Punk Rock Holiday although they played three times there, but I can only imagine how powerful these songs sound live, like punk pumping machine of You Are Free To Go. But, besides uplifting melodies, these songs also bring out kind of melancholy in me, like only Finnish bands can, whether in metal or punk, there is sort of melancholy and sadness in music, whether more silent or louder sadness, but it definitely exists. This is a great album, check this one out.
