(review) Hey Disarray – ‘Unfinished Story’

Hey Disarray are coming from Orange County, California and this is their first EP containing 6 songs. First think I thought while listening to vocals on first song ‘Dance With Me’ was that vocals reminded me a lot of Croatian band called Fraktura Mozga. Musically, they are also similar. Hey Disarray play melodic pop punk, uplifting melodies topped with nice vocals and some keyboard background in there thrown in for good measure, or am I imagining? This band is pop punk par excellence sounding just how excellent pop punk should sound like. Lyrics are great and I think that I can relate to lot of themes in there like love, loss of love, relationship, friendship, broken hearts, hope….One of my personal favorites on this record is the title song because it is straightforward pop punk song with beautiful chorus and melody, harmonies on backing vocals and superb lyrics. The musicianship on this record is tight and and production is great listening. Other songs that are stand out for me on this little EP are ‘Meet Me There’ and ‘Good At Letting Go’, but EP as a whole is worth your listening because this is superb songwriting.

ICOYN signed with Bastardized Recordings. NEW SINGLE OUT NOW!

With the single DEKARNATION by the metalcore/German punk crossover group, I CUT OUT YOUR NAME are once again cutting their way into the public discourse.
Everything can be bought: Weapons, bodies and affection - The artificial world eats us up with its self-exploitation porn and the belief that everything will get better.
But the body decay and nothing can cleanse the mind except down-tuned, pissed-off and fat riffs that encourage and liberate.

ICOYN unleash themselves with DEKARNATION and are ready for 2024.

I CUT OUT YOUR NAME - out now on BASTARDIZED RECORDINGS!

Kypck (or Kursk in western typography) is a Finnish heavy metal band heading to their last tour. The band released their fifth album “Prestupleniya protiv chelovechestva (Crimes Against Humanity)” in August, which went straight to number one on the official Finnish physical album sales chart for the second time in the band’s history. The album will also be the last for the Russian singing band. Over the years, Kypck has toured the East all the way to Siberia and has become known not only for its rusty sound, but also for its spectacular live shows and eccentric musicianship. With the release of his last album Kypck plays their very last shows.
