(record review)ANTI-LAM FRONT-“Tidlig Anti-Lam Front”(Big Day Records)

Leave a comment

Norway is besides being on of the most developed and beautiful European countries, known mostly by black metal but there are couple of bands that prove Norway also has awesome punk hardcore scene and Anti-Lam Front is one of them. This is their new record out on Big Day Records and I listened to it and reviewed it for this webzine.

The album contains 15 songs and boy, are they excellent! The music is fast, ultra melodic and energetic skatepunk hardcore. I loved every single second of this album! The vocals are a bit rough but melodic and combined with second more melodic voice and harmonies it gives the listener the ultimate melodic punk hardcore perfection! The music reminds me of best Lagwagon, NUFAN and Propagandhi moments mixed in one patchwork with a life of its own! Believe me, this stuff makes me wanna jump all over my living room and laugh and mosh and jump again and sing in Norwegian! Yes, the lyrics are in Norwegian and I don` t know what are they about, but this language is just awesome for such music because it adds a kind of drama in the songs that you can only find in melodic punk hardcore and which gives goosebumps to my skin! All of the songs are great but I can say that “Fineste Donald ” and “Sirkelmoralisme” are in my opinion somehow the best of the best on this record! Get this one! You won˙t regret it!

(record review)PRIMETIME FAILURE-“Home”

Leave a comment

I would like the world to be one big place, big village, big city, without the boundaries but that is unfortunately not possible. Luckily for us in the punk hardcore scene, the music knows no boundaries, so everyday we get to know more and more bands that are awesome. This time I listened and reviewed for this webzine the new record by Primetime Failure, so read it here and listen to their album!

This band comes from Germany, Bielefeld area and on this record the guys play what I hold most dear to my heart, being old school 90-ies influenced melodic skatepunk. There are 8 songs on this awesome record and the energy and melody took me back to the times when I was a kind and all I wanted was to storm the streets of my town, drink some beer with my crew and listen to the awesome music under a starry sky. Nostalgic? Definitely! But, this band wakes such feelings in me! For me, the highlights of the album are “Let Go”, “Waiting” and “Stuck in the 90-s” which made goosebumps on my skin while listening. The lyrics are personal and I thought for long about the awesome vocals on this album and who they remind me of. Then I got it! The vocals reminded me a lot of one of my favorite bands, Deadends from Austria and that is why I love this band even more! If you are a fan of old school energetic, flying high melodic skatepunk and nostalgic about the old days, then this record is made in heaven forya-

(record review)THE CASKET CREATURES-“Return to Wolfton”

Leave a comment

The Casket Creatures are playing horrorpunk and they do it deadly good! This is their new record that I listened and reviewed for this webzine.

268x0w

They were founded in 2010.and are hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. This is their third full length release. The guys had hard times and endured a great pain recently when their drummer Tony 2Skulls passed away. This record contains a spoken word spooky intro plus 11 songs. The excellent “Phantom Zone” marks the first part of the record as one of the best songs, the guys made a video for the song too, which you can see below. I also loved “Roswell” very much having an anthemic chorus just made for singing and shouting along live with the band. “Robot Revolution” reminded me a lot of nwobhm metal bands with pumping riding rythm and strong melodic riffs of course mixed with horrorpunk sci fi lyrics. Of course, the record doesn˙t lack classic horrorpunk tunes like “The 13th” for example with a lot of ooos and Misfitesque melodies but they are far from being someone` s clone. The songs that are my absolute favorites on this record are “Attack of the 50ft Woman” being almost horrorpunk lovesong and “2Skulls” that is very emotional but strong song that is a tribute to the drummer and brother who passed away too soon. This is a very strong, melodic and energetic horrorpunk record and I loved it.
