Penny At Work are coming from north of France and were formed in 2016. PCT Musique teamed up with them for this e.p.
There are four songs on this e.p. with lyrics being fun and the music is melodic punkrock with saxophone parts and also leaning somewhat on nineties wave of ska punkrock and it sounds awesome. I really enjoyed the nice vocal melodies, harmonies on backing vocals, uptempo faster and energetic songs that just can`t let you sitting down, they just make you pump your fist in the air, want to jump around and hug the sweaty kid in the pit next to you and sing along with the band. My favorite song on this record is definitely Cyber Ads, but others are also fantastic. Check this one out, I am eager to listen to full record in time.
Mustasuo are hailing from Finland and this is their new record with Off Records Finland. The name of the band means black swamp, after a local city district of Oulu where the band comes from. They were formed in 2015. The music Mustasuo is harsh hardcore punk with a lot of d beat, old school Finnish hc punk influences and some black metal, popular blackened crust punk. There are 10 fast songs full of energy on this record sung in Finnish language. The vocals are screaming and remind me a lot of Croatian bands AK-47 and Ljubiša Samardžić, similar voice and screaming. The songs are raw, gritty, but with recognizable Finnish melancholy, spite and depression melody underneath it all. Also, some weird electronic voice parts in Kun illuusio sarkyy make the song fantastic and one of my album favorites besides Tuomitulle with doomy parts and Tuhoaja. Great album, great band.
