One of the hardest hardcore bands from East Cost, COLDSIDE are back with this little three song record out with Demons Run Amok Entertainment. This e.p. is a kind of teaser and announcement for the new full length record scheduled to come out some time in 2020. The members of Coldside played in Wardogs, Vietnom, and C.B.S/Lita Gray, so they have tons of experience in creating quality, ever evolving streetcore with a lot of metal influences, yet remaining basically true to the streetpunk and oi roots so that makes this band a keeper among tons of other hardcore bands that are out there nowadays. This is great for keeping us entertained until the full length. I can˙t wait for it to come out!
NOFUTAL are punk band from Bastia, France and this is their new record. This new one contains 8 songs. The music of NOFUTAL can be described as melodic punk with lyrics and song titles in French so I don`t really understand what they are about, but no matter, the music is nice, melodies are sweet with great vocalist and really nicely done backing vocal harmonies like for example in Divers Avaries sounding even a bit Nofx like. There are also some pop punk influences to the songs like La Faute A La Manette, another beautiful song. Vroum-Vroum is another highlight, powerhouse of fast skatepunk hardcore that has it all, melody, drama and intensity. Not to discover just all forya, I will tell you to go listen and discover this album and this fine band, you will not regret it!
UK punkrock veterans Snuff are back with their new record out with Fat Wreck Chords. I listened Snuff in the 90-ies when they were pretty big in this parts where I live, but somehow later lost track of them until I watched their show at Punk Rock Holiday in 2017. They were really fun to watch. The singer/drummer Duncan impressed me a lot with his playing and singing at the same time, although the music of Snuff is not your usual punkrock, they are for me more of an proggressive and avantgarde punk band utilising song structures very different from common songwriting in punkrock and that makes them unique and special. Some like it, some don˙t. The new record contains 12 songs of melody, melancholy, humour and happiness. I love Kings Of The Spanish Oi Scene, Patient Zero and Gyoza somehow being my favorites on this record. But, the rest of the material, with superb atmospheric Job And Knock is your quality prog melodic punk, so go get this new record by the UK veteran punks.
