(review) Pass the Flask – ‘Shiver’

Pass the Flask are punk rock band from Midwest and this is their second full length album. The band says that they spent two years in writing and creating these 16 songs presented on this record, we all know which years that were. Pandemics, lockdowns, losses of friends and brutal Midwest winters were reason that this album is so fantastically dark and anguished. I love and enjoy every single minute of this one because this one totally sits on my heart because of some feelings and situations that I am in, so I can totally get myself into this album. This is not your fast and furious skate punk, this is punk rock in purest sense of the word, with rough vocals that somehow evoke all that stuff being sung about. Guitar work creates melancholy and sadness at the same time bringing goosebumps to my skin. Songs like ‘Smoke Stained Walls’ or ‘Fernetti Vedder’ are sure to become your favorites. But, songs ‘Cigarettes and Whiskey’, ‘See You Sometime’ or ‘There is Hope’ will break even the hardest hardcore heart and make you love your friends more, your family and try to cherish what you got, because life is so fragile and can be gone in a second.
