(review) Bad Cop/Bad Cop-The Ride(Fat Wreck Chords)

cover

Bad Cop/Bad Cop are back with their third full length album out with Fat Wreck Chords. The girls have outdone themselves this time. There are 12 songs on this record, one being better than the other. For those who don`t know, they play energetic and melodic punkrock with multiple vocals, courtesy of Stacey and Jennie,  great backing vocal harmonies and superb lyrics, from personal themes like love, depression and survival to modern and political themes like refugees, people who are left without their homes, sexism, feminism, anarchism and other themes. It is very hard for me to tell which songs I like better, but I will tell you some personal favorites of mine: Certain kind of monster, Community and Pursuit of Liberty. Superb album, I recommend you to go see one of their shows when this epidemic shit is over, they also rule live.

Dutch punk rock band Sun-0-Bathers announce new EP Floater!

08dd808f-482e-4a9d-a95c-2a3ce677ff15

Leeuwarden, The Netherlands based punk rock band Sun-0-Bathers have announced to release their new EP “Floater” on July 24th through Morning Wood Records (Europe), Paper + Plastick Records (USA) and Thousand Islands Records (Canada). “Floater” is the follow-up to the band’s 2018 debut EP “Local Warming” and features seven new 90’s California punk rock vibe tunes perfect for the summer, but will definitely keep you warm during other seasons too.

To make sure the new work will be coming in hot, the band just premiered “Overtime”, the first single from the new EP and is a nice example of the key ingredients that can be expected on “Floater”. You can listen to this track through the YouTube link below.

Inspired by 80’s and 90’s West-Coast punk rock waves, but also including the catchiness of (modern) Ramonescore style bands, Sun-0-Bathers’ journey began during the summer of 2017. With the goal of keeping songs fast, short yet very melodic with the occasional “ooh’s” and “aah’s”, the band’s style can be described as a romantic lovechild of Pennywise, Zeke, Adolescents, Night Birds and Guttermouth.

So far Sun-0-Bathers shared stages with bands such as U.K. Subs, Down By Law, Cigar, I Against I, Vitamin X and toured through The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Italy.

Pre-orders for “Floater” on CD and vinyl are now available now.
