Zurrapa are punk band from town of Viseu, Portugal and have been in the scene since 2017 and released four records, two came out in 2020. This one contains 14 tracks but there are some samples and spoken word between songs. The music of Zurrapa can be described as no holds barred, no bullshit, simple and fast punk with some roll and hardcore influences in the song structures. Lyrics are in Portuguese so I don´t really understand what they are singing about, but music speaks enough for itself. I love how Ghost Riders In The Sky cover sounds in Portuguese, really nice. I love that language and would love to learn it one day. Songs on this record are mainly fast, vocals are harsh yet melodic and fit perfectly to songs. So, if you love your punk fast, energetic, go grab this one. I am sure you will not regret it.
German ZSK released their sixth studio album. This time boys from Berlin deliver 12 songs of their trademark melodic and energetic punk rock with lyrics in German and one being in English. I understand German, so I can say it is a fine mix of political and personal, just the way I like it. There are some faster songs, which are my personal favorites, like awesome title song for example.
Some would say that this band has gone commercial and lost its touch and roots, but I really don´t think so, just listen to fantastic Kein Talent and lyrics hit the theme right in the eye coupled with nice punk rock and melody. The band cleverly mixes Deutschpunk, street punk, skatepunk from the nineties, ska and brings really nice punk rock and I love this record. My other highlights are Sag mir wie lange and Alle meine Freunde.
Yeah Sure are punk band from Kentucky and this is their e.p. which is in fact a concept album about funny thing of getting high with sasquatch, they call themselves cryptid punk.
This e.p. offers 6 songs of dirty, raw, almost rehearsal, garage punk rock, played kinda sloppy and with don´t give a fuck attitude and funny lyrics, but underneath there are enough horror punk influences with some really nice melodies coming out underneath all punk don´t give a fuck song structures. You gotta go with Shark Week, and song titles ordered in concept, check this out: He Is, Just, In A Cabin, In The Woods, Watching, Shark Week. Nice, eh? If you are looking for sloppy cryptid punk with fun and done diy then go support this one.
