(review) Back Pedal – ‘Stress’

I love discovering some bands like Back Pedal. These guys are hailing from Missouri and this is their new release containing seven songs. The music of Back Pedal is superb, mix of styles that I love in pop punk and melodic punk rock. That means it’s as if I listen to Descendents mixed with Teenage Bottlerocket or The Lillingtons. This is energetic fast and ultra melodic punk rock with short but sweet songs, not unlike above mentioned bands. Vocals are great, melodic and not snotty, but I would love if they could be a bit more louder in the next recordings of this excellent band. Guitars are raw and remind of early Ramones guitar work, the drummer is singer for this band, so that is another plus for me. I would like to see this band deliver their music live, I am sure they are energetic and fun as Hell to check out live. My personal favorites on this record are: ‘T.H.P.S.’, ‘Little Psycho’ and ‘Adore’. Great one, I look forward to more stuff from Back Pedal.
