Finnish pop-punk band Broken Trend reveal new video!

Leave a comment

Broken Trend is a 5-piece Pop-Punk / Post-Hardcore band from Helsinki, Finland. With a melancholic, fast-paced and grungy sound they bring a new sound to the stage. 

“Oceanview Drive” is the first single from their upcoming debut album. View the video on YouTube:

“We decided to film our music video in this legendary skate park at Suvilahti because it has great athmosphere and we love the diy culture. Sadly it’s going to be demolished so we wanted to commemorate it and show some respect. We can say that we filmed the video on a first day of summer at the most insane place in Helsinki.” Janne (guitar)

“This song is one of our more upbeat and chill songs. We wrote it in may 2022 while were chilling at our cabin by the sea and we got super drunk the night before. I had passed tf out and Janne woke me up about an hour later like “dude, I just wrote a banger”. I wrote the lyrics in like 25 minutes and yeah, that’s how the song was born” Tony (lead vocals)

Broken Trend signed a record deal with Love Is Punk Records and have been working tirelessly on their upcoming debut album. Love Is Punk Records is a independent label from Finland which releases punk oriented music.

Dutch punk rockers Sun-0-Bathers new music video for ‘Rip It To Shreds’!

Leave a comment

Almost three years after their last EP, June 21st – the first day of summer – seems like the perfect timing for Dutch punk rockers Sun-0-Bathers to release the music video for their brand new track “Rip It To Shreds“!
So, what to to expect? Fast, ripping skatepunk favored by skateboarders, surfpunks and high school jocks in the 90’s. Perhaps a nice mixture of Pennywise, Guttermouth, Pulley, Night Birds and Rich Kids On LSD will justify describing this brain melting banger. Time to put on your Vans, Dickies shorts and annoy your neighbors with “Rip It To Shreds!”

Sun-0-Bathers was formed in the summer of 2017 in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. The band released their first EP “Local Warming” in 2018 and their follow-up EP “Floater” in 2020. Since their inception Sun-0-Bathers have toured in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Italy and did support shows for U.K. Subs, Down By Law, Cigar and Not On Tour among others.

(movie) ChristCore(2012) – the other side of hardcore punk

Is spirituality important in hardcore music? Back in the nineties we had Krishna hardcore bands, but besides that one more scene reared its head and it is Christian hardcore scene with lots of bands and people that worship and love this kind of hardcore. I must admit that I didn’t know much about that scene until watching this movie. This one follows three bands called Messengers, Sleeping Giant, and For Today on their road, following their gigs, worship, healing prayers etc…We also find out more about one of the greatest Christian hardcore labels called Facedown Records and I must admit that I was a sceptic when this scene is concerned. But, the music is great, lyrics are set to debate whether you believe or not. Me personally are not believer and not Christian, so they don’t work for me, but this movie is an important documentary about one big scene and features good music by good bands. Go watch this one!
