Fairvale’s bastard-style of hardcore punk (ratcore) is heavily rooted in both punk and hard rock with influences stemming from LA and NYC. The band is comprised of current and past members of SoCal staples Ten Foot Pole and supergroup IMPLANTS as well as Dead Lazlo’s Place, Hardstride, The Autopsies, The Gritty End, Y.A.P.O. and more.
Fairvale is Brandon Solis (vocals), Chris Del Rio (guitar, bass), and Jessie Quinonez (drums). Their debut album Ratcore will be released via Cyber Tracks
Skate punk band MELONBALL from Nuremberg release their debut album, ten songs full of punch, anger, criticism and emotion, on Lockjaw Records in Europe and Thousand Island in US/Canada.
According to singer Oli, ‘BREATHE’ collects social and system-critical topics, channels and breaks them down to the human feelings that are left at the end:
“It’s at least comforting and often even life-saving to know that you’re not alone, that you’re not the only person feeling overwhelmed by injustice, abuse of power and all the shit that happens everywhere, but that you’re among like-minded people who share the same attitude and morals.”
The band also release their new single ‘STICKER’ahead of the album release.
