At Halloween, Northern shredders Fair Do’s released the video for Candleman, the third single from their debut album Leopards.
This tongue-in-cheek burst of hardcore shows a day in the life of bassist, Josh Sumner: living, drinking and dancing with Death and his corpse-paint covered friends.
The video was created on a grand budget of £50 and stars The Grim Reaper. It also features cameos from Manchester Punk Festival’s Ian ‘Tree’ Robinson and his loveable canine companion DCI Burnside (who you can follow on Instagram @dci_burnside).
Candleman is the shortest and most brutal track on the album, however it’s become a runaway success with fans of fast punk. Leopards was released via Lockjaw Records in July and is available to purchase on pink/yellow splatter vinyl, CD digipack or digital download: https://lockjawrecords.co.uk/fair-dos-leopards/
Trophy Jump come from capitol of Croatia, Zagreb and are part of JeboTon collective. This is their newest release and I listened to the record and wrote a short review for this zine.
This 3 songs were recorded in Bolton, UK during the band˙s first UK tour and they serve as a memorabilia from that tour and also as a teaser for the new material on which the band works right now. What I love about Trophy Jump is that they play no bullshit simple old school melodic skate/punkrock without complicating things. Don`t get me wrong, these guys know how to play and the material is awesome, but they this is not the music for the fans of more technical melodic punk escapades. The vocals kinda remind me of early Fat Mike in some songs, but a little more snotty but in combination with the music they sound good. Of the three tracks, the best one for me is Remete Hills, a nostalgic song about home and the neighbourhood and the city from where you come from. Also, get the first album on Bandcamp and check out qualitiy skatepunk melodic music.
Italy has always been a very fertile ground for good punkrock and hardcore bands and this time I listened the new Dead Uns record which came out on Indelirium Records. Read the review here!
What do Dead Uns play? On this record you can find five songs of melodic punkrock. What is new to that? Nothing new. But, the one thing that in my mind sets Dead Uns apart from many similar bands is the atmosphere. I still get goosebumps after listening to some bands and this one is one of those. What also sets this band apart from others is the singer`s voice. That dude sings his heart out and has such a beautiful voice, harsh yet melodic and he can express all the emotions of the music with his voice. Add to that great melodic songs, you get a decent record for your pleasure. The lyrics are in English language and as I understood while listening they are mostly personal. The songs I love the most on this record are: Cold Winds and Hands Off This Land.
