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.

Knife Glove is a one man entity from Germany and this is the first demo opus containing five songs with Shreddy Krueger being the mastermind of all instruments and vocals. Yes, this is Freddycore. This demo and all its horror punk songs are dedicated to one and only Freddy Krueger as you might have guessed it from cover and title with sample from NOES part three. Considering music, this is horror punk par excellence with some really beautiful guitar melodies and choruses. Vocals are more gothic and sound too monotonous on some songs and could be a lot better if there is more drama in the singing itself. All of the five songs are in fact quotes from Freddy’s one liners in Nightmare On Elm Street movies which are one of my favorite horror franchises ever. My personal favorites are the title song, and You’re All My Children Now. The song Wanna Suck Face? sounds a lot like Bullet by Misfits in most of the song parts. Well, for first demo it is okay, let us see if singing improves and also some ideas in songwriting.
