(record review)Family Meeting-Walk Left/Stand Right(Thousand Islands Records)

Family Meeting, melodic punks from Toronto, Canada just released their final record via Thousand Islands Records. I listened and reviewed the record for our zine.

cover

The record contains 3 songs of beautiful, melodic and technical skatepunk. I love the diversity in the pace, atmosphere and awesome melodies of No Honour Amongst Steves. The title track is for me the best song on this record with the chorus that made my head spin and my skin get goosebumps and made me wish that I wrote this song. For Months Of Rain made me somehow sad, realising the fact that this is the final record for this band, and I only discovered them. But, the music will carry on and the smiles on the faces of us, listeners will be eternal, knowing that the legacy of this great band will remain in memory and ears and our hearts forever.

(record review)REVEREND HORTON HEAT-Whole New Life(Victory Records)

Reverend Horton Heat have been around since 1985.delivering their ferocious mix of psychobilly, rockabilly, punk, country and surf. Now, with renewed strength and mighty Victory Records to support them they have a new album out, which I listened and reviewed for our zine.

855618

The album contains 11 songs. I have never listened to this band prior to this record, now I am ashamed I haven´t payed more attention before. You may call it this, you may call it that, but basically it is above all rock n roll. And a contagious one. The energy this band provides is just infectious and makes your day better and brings back joy and smile upon your face. From the melodies of Sunrise Through The Power Lines to Viva Las Vegas cover that sounds more alive than ever in their version, accross Dont Let Go Of Me and the awesome title track, this band delivered one mighty new rnr record.

(record review)The Last Days Of Jesus-Oh No…/The World Without Me

TLDOJ are hailing from Bratislava, Slovakia and this is their new release, which I listened and reviewed for our zine.

a3356471402_10

This single contains 2 songs. The music of TLDOJ is a mixture of graveyard horror goth rock and punkrock, packed in one very pleasent song structure. Oh No…is a dancable gothic punkrock dark hit with the chorus melody that leaves you humming long after the song finishes playing. It kind of reminds me of more punky and more gothic version of Joy Division, don˙t ask me why. The World Without Me was even better, the song sounds cheerful but is in fact very dark and somber with great melody and catchy chorus. This is a great band if you love such music. Check it out!
