The European hardcore punk scene gave birth to many excellent bands and labels, so many individuals, promoters, zine makers and I just love that I live in the times when the scene is like the living being, constantly evolving, constantly changing and growing. Today I listened and reviewed the new Birds in row record for this webzine.
Birds in row are coming from Laval, France, and this new record contains nine new songs of exceptional hardcore punk emotions. These guys deliver their unique special brand of hardcore punk with many screamo, post hardcore, noise and dark pop influences. The vocals are screamed but heartfelt and somehow I managed to relate to the songs and fall into the atmosphere of this album. This is the very varied album considering the style, and it doesn˙t get boring, not one second! For me the highlights of the album are “We vs Us” with almost darkened pop beggining and “I don´t dance” for which you can watch the video below. This music is like darkened art. It sometimes falls hard upon the listener but it also drives you to listen to it again and discover new soundscapes you never heard before. A bit different hardcore but great, diversity is the beauty of our beloved scene.
