Time for something energetic and strong to grace the pages of this zine, and no, it is not energy drink or similar hehe. No, it is the brand new record by Bruise Control from Manchester that comes out with TNSrecords. This one contains nine song of utmost punk raw energy reminding us why we love punk rock so much in first place. This is a mixture of punk rock and raw garage punk, seasoned with hardcore punk fervour and ferocity of melody occasionally appearing in the song structures. Vocals are nice, shouted and sometimes screamed yet retaining enough melody to be appealing to fans of more melodic side of punk things. First thing for this album is, great songwriting and I can only imagine how these songs sound performed live on stage with band and crowd interacting together. That is for sure phenomenal, hope to witness live energy of this band some day. Heavy hitters like ‘Bottom Feeder’, ‘Never Again’ or ‘Dead On Arrival’ are something to keep your ears peeled for. In some parts this band reminds me of great Croatian band, Eke Buba concerning speed and energy delivering much in very short span of time. Superb album by superb band.
