(review) Karaba F.C. – ‘April Dancer’

Karaba F.C. are coming from France, Paris/Brest area and this is their brand new EP containing six songs. The music of this band can be described as melodic post punk with dramatic and intense songs, leaning also on pop punk sensibility and nineties emo core influences in the song structures. Some of the songs are more up tempo punk rock with hardcore roots, but some are spacy, rolling emotional post hardcore not unlike Croatian bands Dead Dog Summer and Trophy Jump in a way. Vocals are very important in this kind of music and I like the vocals of this band. This singer is neither crying nor too snotty, this is strong voice with melodic singing when needed and screaming and shouting when needed. Lyrics are personal and deal with themes that I can relate to as a person and I learned to love such bands singing about themes like that. My personal favorite on this one are: ‘Medication’, ‘Pain & Pleasure’ and ‘Pictures Of Us’. Great little EP.
