Having grown up in the nineties, I never dug this newer technical skate punk and melodic hardcore with so many metallic influences, progressive and technical song parts, but UK veterans DARKO were one of the first bands that made me listen to more of the genre and started to love it. Well, this one has been out for couple of months but, no matter UK melodic technical hardcore veterans deliver four songs on this one. What to say? I have a feeling, after this record finished, like I listened to one epic song and by that I don’t mean it like it is a bad thing. From long epic The Ladder, to gentle atmospheric opening of Quite this is a lesson in technical, fast yet mathematically tightly played hardcore punk. New vocalist only added more energy to the band and brought fresh force to this well oiled machine. I recommend you to go check out one of the Darko’s shows if you are near, they will melt your face off with well played epic melodic hardcore/technical skate punk.
