(review) Comminor-Answering Machine For Broken Dreams

folder

Comminor are from Sweden and they played in Croatia once upon a time in Zagreb as I recall. This band started as a skatepunk unit once when they were formed in 2010.but now they evolved into some more modern version of pop punk with lost of melody and emotion behind the music, but still retaining punk harshness in song structures like in great The Cure for Bullshit. But, they also incorporate some electronics into their music and is is done smart and fits perfectly like in Party Mes Chers. In all of the songs Johanna´s melodic and Victor`s more screamed vocals interplay adds drama and intensity to the songs. There are couple more of my favorites on the record like Punk Rock Holiday(the song, yes!) and more darker Live Streamed Suicide. This is good modern punkrock record, proof that there is no old school or new school, there is one united scene with diversity which makes it rich in its existence.

(review) Huntingtons-¡Muerto, Carcel, O Rocanrol!

 

coverLegendary Huntingtons are back with new record. I must admit that I have heard the name of the band all the time, but actually always somehow failed to listen to their music until now. What an ignorant fool I was. This music is heaven. I must admit that they are in the same rank as Teenage Bottlerocket with their ultramelodic Ramonescore, that means becoming one of my favorite bands. This 14 songs offer some of the best melodic pop punk carrying the legacy of Ramones in song arrangements, simple three chord bombs, fantastic vocal lines and anthemic choruses. Although this record came out early this year, it is for sure one of the contenders for the record of the year. Recommended songs: Not Penny˙s Boat, You Don˙t Have To Go, Too Old To Care.

(review) Giorni di Gloria-Giorni di Gloria(DUFF Records)

cover

Giorni di Gloria are another little jewel from the mighty Italian punkrock scene with so many bands delivering such great records. This bands is based in Tavullia, Italy and play their vision of fast skatepunk mixed with melodic hardcore. There is an intro plus five songs on this record and the lyrics are in Italian language which unfortunately I don`t speak but is is such a great language for melodic punk because it is so melodic and fantastic to sing in. The song arrangements are great, melody lines are cool and from all the songs my favorites are Giorni di pura follia and Per non morire, but all of the songs are fantastic if you are a fan of more nineties oriented melodic skatepunk with great musicianship, fantastic songs and I can only imagine how great this band sounds live. Really good one!
