About Go Great Guns:
Go Great Guns is a melodic punk act formed in 2015 in Quebec City, Canada. Their eponymous debut album was released in 2017 on Thousand Islands Records. In 2020, with their friend and sound engineer Pierre Lemire, they went back to the shed to record “Roots”, the new EP released in march 2021 on the same label. The band found the exact sound and style they were after: a faster, heavier punk rock, while still being harmony and melody-oriented.
Time for a band from this region, namely Napalm Job from Belgrade, Serbia. This band consists of well known faces within street punk scene, having played or playing in Miki Pirs, Birtija, Trula Romansa, PogonBgd, Trnje…
The new e.p. contains 6 songs, one being cover of Zabranjeno Pušenje, one having music by The 4 Skins but lyrics by Napalm Job. The music of Napalm Job is street punk/oi just the way it was meant to be, with lyrics in Serbian language about everyday life, punk, struggling to survive in corrupted and robbed state, similar to problems we have here in Croatia, so I can totally relate to the lyrics these guys are talking about. Vocals are great, screaming angry, yet fit perfectly to the songs that are fast, energetic, just the way real street punk oi should be. My favorites are To nije Oi! and Nema sjaja. Great release, so have a listen and support your scene and the cause worldwide!
