And now for something completely in this webzine. Arcade Destiny hails from Anaheim, California and this release contains five songs. This is a one man band playing nineties punk influenced synthwave electronic music and it sounds interesting, but not something for every day listening. Music is almost fast hardcore punk but synth melodies replace guitars and in my opinion there is a bit too much effect on vocals, because the guy sings okay, and I would love to hear more clean vocals melodies then it would be like all those California pop/melodic/skate punk bands, but I understand that this is the way to keep originality and not sound like someone’s clone or copy. This is chaotic, beautiful little EP and my personal favorite is ‘Not Like The Other Girls’. Lyrics are personal and deal with relationships, communication, mental health…I love the lyrics on this one! Imagine listening to fast hardcore skatepunk with synths instead of guitars and if that idea is not too horrifying for you give this one a chance!
