In the year with no gigs The Interrupters decided to release a live album to remind us all how we miss gigs and energy, singing along and smiling enjoying great company and great music. This band is huge, delivering their melodic ska punk music with style, energy, great songwriting and anthemic songs topped with Aimee Interrupter´s awesome voice making her one of the best singers in the scene, also harmonic back vocals and musicianship of the Bivona brothers. There are ten songs on this one with all crown interaction and singing along. Setlist is superb with my personal favorites By My Side, Take Back The Power, Title Holder, Gave You Everything and all others being there. This is such great record.
Here is the split release by Croatian hardcore punk band .upset and 8082 from Austria. .upset are in no way strangers to the pages of this zine, because Zabok´s finest were already featured here and this time they offer two songs of street punk influenced hardcore with lyrics about friendship, betrayal, disappointment and hope. Thank You is my personal favorite and Fuck You is a bit faster yet also total hardcore anthem. 8082 offer two songs on their side of this e.p. They also play old school hardcore mixed with couple of new school parts in song structures, I can hear a mixture of eighties and nineties influenced hardcore in their songs. Lyrics are about surviving in this world and literally catching breath and also about with Day by Day being my personal favorite besides Catch a Breath. Great release by two great bands.
New AFI album is upon us! This band started long time ago as melodic hardcore punk skate punk band, but evolved with time into something else, combining Misfits influenced punk rock, dark rock and darkened pop topped with superb voice of Davey Havok. New album contains eleven songs and it is punk rock in a very stretched term. New songs rely more on darkened rock and pop than punk rock although there are couple of excursions into harsher punk waters like Escape from Los Angeles being one of my favorites on this record. But, although punk rock is no more with new songs, atmosphere that is unique for this band is still here. Mixture of melancholy, sadness, darkness and hope with death and life is still here. Also, good melodies and vocal lines, harmonies and songs that will make you hum long after the album finished are here. Besides mentioned, other personal favorites are Back From The Flesh and No Eyes. This is logical continuation of last full length.
