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.
Trashed Ambulance from Alberta, Canada are in no way strangers to the pages of this zine and I am glad we kicked off 2021 with their new e.p. out digital with Thousand Islands Records.
There are three songs on this e.p. For those who don´t know it yet, Trashed Ambulance play more technical version of epic and fantastic melodic fast skate punk, bordering somewhere between old school nineties melodic punk I love so much and newer technical modern skate punk with fantastic guitar work and songwriting coupled with some of the sweetest harmonies and melodies I have listened in a while. Vocals remind me a bit of mixture between Fat Mike and Chris from Propagandhi, great voice, but maybe only I hear that similarity. On The Mend is fast song, having melancholic line throughout whole song, being my personal favorite on this record. The title song is punk rock song with awesome chorus just made for singing and humming along whole day after you finished listening to the record. Throughout all songs, there is a soft, melancholic, almost sad and nostalgic vibe that I feel while listening, but I love the feeling that music gives me. Delinquent is the last song and it is again song that leaves you only wanting more and more. Can´t wait for the next full length.
The good people of Modern Illusion Records have another great release and this time it is Just Look Around from Germany and their e.p.
This young label continues to amaze with hitting straight in the eye with awesome hardcore releases and this one is no exception. There are seven songs on this e.p. and the music of Just Look Around can be described as heavy hardcore, harsh and fast, ferocious and moshing with many clever uses of samples between the songs, which I love and support always. If I must compare it to some bands I must say they remind me a lot of Earth Crisis in many songs, especially awesome Disruption, yet also of Madball in some faster song parts. Lyrics are good mixture of personal and political, featuring anti fascism, survival in this modern world, friendship and freedom. My personal favorites on this one are: Disruption, The good, the bad and the ugly, Freedom remains.
