Fast Lane are coming from Bordeaux, France and they play melodic punkrock with fast skatepunk strong melodies and great vocal lines and harmonies. This new record features twelve excellent fast and energetic songs, just the right measure of speed and melody like I love. What I also love is dual vocals with two different voices that fit just perfectly into the picture of the songs arrangements. The lyrics are personal, about friendship, survival in these fast times that we live in, love for the gigs and traveling, scene, not giving up also love and loss. For me, the best songs on the album that I could recommend to you are The Stars Were In Your Eyes, Angels Are Free, So Stop Bashing Society. Great album!
Delest are from Spain and this is their new e.p. I never listened to this band prior to this record, but now I am glad I found out about them. There is a beautiful piano intro featuring Calos Alvarez and then there are three songs in Spanish language. The title track is a nice piece of melodic punkrock with nice vocal melody lines, backing vocal harmonies and chorus just made for singing along or whistling to the tune. Unfortunately I don`t speak Spanish, so I don˙t get what they are singing about, but I believe the lyrics are personal from what little I can understand from the song titles. The band reminds me a bit of nineties melodic punk bands without much philosophy or metalic parts like it is popular nowadays, just simple punkrock to drive you along. The song called Univer SOS is a perfect example of fast punkrock and my favorite on this record. The song also has such beautiful solo guitar melody line. Cien Mil Veces Mas makes me a bit nostalgic while listening. This is a great e.p. can`t wait for the full length record.
A Vulture Wake were already featured on the pages of this zine. This is a melodic hardcore punk band from USA, kinda punkrock supergroup, although I hate this word very much, and they are featured with one song on this record, called Collateral Damage which is nice midtempo emotional punkrock song with beautiful vocal lines and nice chorus.
7Years from Italy were also already featured on the pages of this zine when we reviewed their super album a while ago. This time, they are featured with two songs with The pride of a wounded sister being my favorite, but also The party is over(featuring Chad Price) is also a great listening. I don`t know, but Mattero Caldari and his crew remind me a lot of Lagwagon, delivering really mighty emotional punkrock with their cool songs. This is a great little e.p.
