Dutch Nuggets are coming from Montreal, Canada and this is their long awaited second album. What do we get here? Well, we get 12 songs of excellent melodic hardcore punk. The music is cleverly written, enough technical to appease fans of more technical side of skatepunk, but also retaining that old school nineties vibe and atmosphere in the song structures. We have been waiting for over a decade for this one and it was worth it. Songs are fast and driving, vocals are excellent also backing vocal harmonies deliver mighty combination, which is very important in this kind of music. The whole album reminds me a lot of Croatian band called Kriva Istina. Lyrics are personal, yet engaged politically, but I think everyone can relate to somehow. It is hard to highlight some songs as favorites, but to me they are Ignorance Is Bliss, Catharsis and Dead-Tired. Great album and great band, I totally recommend this one!
