Angry Youth Elite are coming from Ruhr area, Germany. These guys are back with their second album, called ‘All Riot’ and it contains eleven songs. Music on this album is punk rock, melodic punk mainly in mid tempo, but also some faster skate punk songs reminding me a lot of Millencolin, not only in vocal lines, but also choruses and songwriting style. That in no way doesn’t mean that these guys are copy of some other known band, but quite the contrary, they are an example how to write great melodic punk songs. Lyrics deal with social injustice, but also themes like being homeless, dealing with survival in this world and age, handling addiction and through personal lyrics to which any of us listeners punks can relate to. My personal favorites on this one are: ‘Smile Goodbye’, ‘DIY’, ‘Give It Up’ with reggae songwriting thrown in and ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’. This album is a must, for you if you love bands like Pennywise and Bad Religion, but leaning more on European school of melodic punk like Millencolin and No Fun At All. Great band and excellent record indeed!
