Scott Sellers, once the guitar/vocalist for Rufio releases his music alone now, for fun, like he says. I listened and reviewed his new album for our zine.

The California based musician made a new album with 11 songs. The music of Scott Sellers is melodic punk, okay you can also call it skatepunk. The songs are varied and the album doesn`t get boring for one second while listening. There is faster material with beautiful melodies and anthemic choruses made for singing along like for example Free which is one of the best songs on this record. Chemistry is also one of the more faster songs with superb melodies, song structure and energy. I must say that when I was a kid one man bands were somehow an abomination for me, I never understood why people do music as a one man band, never playing live, when for example all of my bands main goal was to present our music live for the kids. Now, I look at that picture with different eyes and understand the logic and philosophy behind it, because there are one man bands/projects that are just awesome out there. One of the songs that I must say that stands out is for sure the title song of the record with super combination of guitar and synth melody in part of the song. The music is mostly fast skatepunk, but there is one slower song that touched my heart and that being Hopeless Romantic(no, it is not a cover) which is gentle punkrock song. I love this one.
