(review) Let’s Go – ‘Smile’ (High End Denim Records)

The good people at High End Denim Records deliver some really great punk rock jewels and one such is Let’s Go with their new album. Canadian punk rock rules! This one contains 9 songs of fast and melodic punk hardcore with speed melody and occasional groove with anthemic choruses like in awesome ‘State of Decay’. The band is really tight delivering superb guitar work and melodies. Vocals are mixture of shouting in hardcore punk way and singing melodic where needed with awesome backing vocal harmonies making you pump your fist in the air with the speed and energy of pure punk rock bomb of a record! Lyrics are personal but you can understand the issues behind the song lyrics and it was a pleasure combining music and reading the lyrics. This is one of the best releases I have listened to in a while, so go get this one and have a listen to great punk rock.

(review) Death Cassette – ‘Get Rid Of It’ (High End Denim Records)

Death Cassette is a punk band from Winnipeg Manitoba and this is their sophomore release containing six songs. The music is a mixture of energetic melodic punk rock, garage punk and even some grungy moments thrown in for good measure. Vocals are raspy and angry but hit melody when needed in the song structure. The singer’s voice is at the same time enchanting and also energetic and angry like punk music should be. Music is fast and uptempo punk with lots of catchy guitar parts and hooks. Lyrics are emotional and personal and I think that most of us can relate to the themes of songs like my personal favorites ‘Reflector’, ‘Get Gone’ or ‘Solstice’. But, you will have to find out your favorites when you grab this record and have a listen.

(fanzin) Out Of The Darkness – 15

Izašao je novi broj najboljeg fanzina na ovim prostorima, a to je Out Of The Darkness fanzin. Kao što smo navikli, i ovaj broj sadrži brdo odličnog materijala, neki vole više interviewe, neki kolumne i recenzije, ja ću vam ovdje reči što je meni najbolje u novom broju. Kao prvo moram istaknuti izrazito zanimljive interviewe s Podrum Rijeka kolektivom, kao i Rebuild collective, uvijek interesantne kolumne, neke više neke manje zanimljive, brdo odličnih gig i festival reporta kao i ono što uvijek volim čitati, a to je tour diary, ovog puta Koridor su napravili tour diary svoje turneje po SAD-u, svaka čast. Dakle, da ne biste ostali bez svog primjerka, nabavite ovaj novi broj čim prije. Najbolji fanzin u regiji, a i šire, jedan od rijetkih koji još u regiji izlaze u fizičkom obliku i tako lijepo urađen!
