This is a debut full length by Detoxi, band hailing from Ventura, California. The members of the band are in no way strangers to the underground scene having played in many bands throughout the years. This record contains 10 songs. The music of Detoxi is a mixture of horrorpunk, postpunk and goth darkness with keyboards adding to the overall vibe as if watching some old Hammer horror movie which I love so much. The vocal lines are melodic and singer sounds great, the music is upbeat, energetic and even, how should I put it, dancable. Modus Operandi, Masks or Nonsense are the songs that will really ignite your old darkened heart hehe. This is a nice record! 8/10
DIY punkrock strikes again! Lifewentpear are from Germany and they released their new record so it was about time for me to have a listen and review! These guys play 10 songs of mainly midtempo melodic punk with some excursions into faster hardcore waters here and there in the song structures. The music kinda reminded me of Austrian band Deadends with ability to create sad smile upon my face, kind of unique melancholic sad feeling while listening to the record yet at the same time feeling better than ever, I just can`t explain that feeling with precision for you. The melodies are just beautiful, vocals are rough, raspy yet singing and I love how they sound. Backing vocal harmonies are done perfectly and I love kind of murky and gritty sound of the guitars and drums on the record. Great diy melodic punk jewel from the underground. Recommended songs: Treat objects like women, Procrastination Street, Mixed Feelings.
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!
