Balek Panic are coming from Paris, France and this is their new release containing 6 songs of excellent fast and intense melodic punk rock, skate punk or melodic hardcore punk if you like it that way. Music is fast and reminds a lot of nineties punk from California on which I grew up listening. Lyrics are personal with a touch of humor in it like in ‘Tourism Is terrorism’. Vocals are nice, neither too mellow nor too harsh, just as you need it for this kind of punk rock. Melodies are beautiful and every harmony and backing vocals fit perfectly to the song part it was meant to. My favorites are ‘Dreams’, ‘Stuck on the same day’ and ‘Manipulator’ being somehow my highlights of this EP. I would like to see this band play live and would love a full length some time in the future.
