Controller is a high energy Alt. Metal band from Fort Wayne, IN.
| conceived and created in the ever-shifting chaos of the Midwest music scene in the winter of 2011. Each member, a long standing musician with accolades of their own musical experience, was handpicked for this task. Built around a singular idea, that no one person should lead, but instead allow the music to tell them what comes next. |
NOFX’s first release on FAT, The Longest Line, turned 30 this year! The iconic cover art was designed by the legendary Dan Sites, and today we’re delighted to celebrate its birthday with a repressing of this classic release. We also have a new Dan Sites reimagined cover art variant for you, and an exclusive color vinyl bundle, featuring the new artwork. For all the OG art purists, we’re not leaving you stranded…we have the original cover with a color variant as well. The best part of all this vinyl news is that it’s ready to ship IMMEDIATELY! Huzzah! Be on the lookout, as the anniversary cover will also be sold as a print by Sonic Art later in the month.
Chief State are hailing from Vancouver, Canada and this is their first full length release. It consists of ten songs and the music is sweet and more modern influenced pop punk, melodic punk rock with some nods to the old school masters and forefathers to the genre. But, this one is a keeper, although I am not an avid fan of modern version of pop punk. The music is inspiring and uplifting, energetic and vocals are sweet and not too snotty and not too mellow, just like they need be for these bunch of songs. Backing vocal harmonies are nicely done, guitar work and melodies fit perfectly to the day to day lyrics garnered with some humor and auto irony. But, I can relate and find my highlights in Out For Me, Drown and Losing Sleep. This is a beautiful, nicely done pop punk record and I enjoyed every single minute listening to it.
